Perfectly Imperfect

In these crazy times I sometimes feel guilty writing about fashion… I mean… most people, myself included, have had to make certain sacrifices due to the current economic situation. However, as I’ve said before (I might have even said it yesterday… I was up at 4am this morning so I’m not thinking entirely straight) this is about more than just fashion. At least for me. It’s about art, it’s about the little guys following their dreams and its about true creativity. Anyone who goes after what they want without fear is definitely an inspiration to me…

In addition, there are some brands that mold themselves on a concept… like today’s label Perfectly Imperfect. Designer Jadie Kadletz is an LA based designer who created this organic line with style and quality in mind.

The collection is inspired by the Wabi Sabi way of life.

Wabi Sabi is an ancient Chinese philosophy adapted by the Japanese tea masters. This belief stands for things that are fresh and simple. It denotes simplicity and quietude, and also incorporates rustic beauty. It includes both that which is made by nature, and that which is made by hand. It can also mean an accidental or happenstance element (or perhaps even a small flaw) which gives elegance and uniqueness. It helps us to see the beauty in imperfection and to discover that our so-called flaws can also lead us to our greatest strengths and treasures. When we know this fundamental joy, we can reveal the post powerful and positive sides of our-self.

Not only does Jadie introduce us to a great collection of gorgeously wearable organics, but she gives us something to think about as well. I was talking to a friend about this concept just the other day. Sometimes, it’s the collection of a persons tiny imperfections that make them perfect… you know?
