Agatha Blois


Agatha Blois is one of my favourite designers right now, not just because of her celebrity clientele including Kat Von D, but because of her leather. She is an extremely talented designer working in the rock and tattoo scene. I love her variation, how she creates leather jackets with back pieces, leather waistcoats, catsuits, trousers etc. Also, she includes denim into some designs. What i love is how she can create such interesting and varied designs, also her attention to detail.

Agatha Blois - Carnival Wax.

"Ol' Rudy drove the carriage ... the smell of greasepaint, wild beasts, sugary treats, western saddles, and burning gypsy witch candles, old damp canvas, through Spanish moss and Southern groves of orange and peach, on dirt, on asphalt, on an African priestess in Brooklyn in 1965, her black leather panties in his liquored hand … If I could only bottle these bright beauties and blinding evils." - Blackie Pagano.
  
"This collection evokes the hot thrills, sugary tastes, and dangerous excitement of a carnival that exists simultaneously in the past, present, and future, traveling through a mythic America as seen through the miraculously unjaded eyes of Agatha's alter-ego, immortal ringmaster and secret alchemist Ol' Rudy. Ol' Rudy binds his secrets into this collection to portray his inner beauty and evil and bring them to you through the direct and irresistible avenue of scent. Notes of sugar, dirt, vanilla, tobacco, sweet musk, rusted metal and leather attract excitement, love, danger, and romance to the wearer."
I love the poem by Blackie Pegano describing the scent by agatha Blois, it really shows where she draws her inspirations from - it is not an average perfume. Dirt and tobacco aren't normal choices for perfumes but i really love that Agatha Blois is daring enough to try.
