Konstantina Mittas

The Konstantina Mittas production studio is at 77 Buckland Street, Chippendale. Mittas sells her beautiful, idiosyncratic, sculptural clothes at boutique stores across Australia and through EVA in New York. The studio was busy producing orders; I watched as someone with a steady hand cut unhesitatingly through delicate cloth. There's a bicycle with wings on the ceiling, a hundred shades of black, silk you just have to touch, tiny little buttons with delicate thread hooks, a glowing dress lamp, and the beady eyes of a pitch-black raven.
