Kaemmeche)
www.identitycrisisclothing.com
This e-boutique
features one-of-a-kind reconstructed clothing and accessories. Owner/designer
Karly Hand’s art school background shows through
her amazing style. She is most interested in creating
clothing that performs multiple functions or can operate
as more than one piece: the kinetic skirt, for example,
operates like a roman shade providing it’s owner with
several length options from one skirt. Playing around
with basic systems to create dynamic clothing keeps
her motivated as a designer.

Amet and Sasha
www.ametandsasha.com
Amet and Sasha began on September 1, 2002. Jesse Kelly-Landes was searching
for an interesting and more secure career than her office job and in her
search she stumbled over her sewing machine. Her goal was to make simply
constructed clothes with interesting lines that could flatter any woman's
shape. She is not only much happier in her new job as seamstress, she is
pleasantly surprised that she has been successful in finding a niche for
herself in the world of handmade clothing. Her clothes can be found in
several stores both in the US and Canada.
