I originally wanted to call the post title ‘Golden Warts’, ‘Explosive Fungals’ or ‘Sprouting Clusters’ any words/definitions that are associated with Type HPV (Human Papilloma Virus)…don’t ask me why. Googling images on warts and ignoring a bowl of apple crumble next me was a gagging experience, but a word ‘Excrescence‘ came up (thanks Shini) is a perfect word to describe my DIY-ed embellished-wart-like socks….sounds beautiful but is contagious. Dozens of golden-metallic flowers and cheap pearls (originally neckalaces from Primark, de-chained) were painstakingly sewn onto a pair of H&M lace ankle socks, I used a kitchen roll as a foot dummy which sadly later became unusable. It may look un-wearable but it does a couture-isque look to it, I would give it a go and try wear it at LFW, no?
Okay, this is seriously cool! I can’t believe you made them! See you at LFW – you’ll be easy to spot
OMG Kit the socks are stunning, good job you made it look couture-esque.
Utterly, utterly amazing!
Yes yes yes wear it at LFW, show off your talent ;P
Sweeeet dude. They look like a flower carnival.
Me likes
Oh my, I have a cool name for your title but it’s from an asian film ‘The Curse of The Golden Flower’ lol.
Kit you’re a genius! You’ve given me some ideas
hahaha excresence. i love it! very dainty
i’m always in awe of all you talented peeps who can pull off DIY projects. my attempts always end in tears and a shredded dish rag!
i’ll be at LFW too! lets meet! are you going to be there everyday? i’m a first timer and dont know what to expect/whats going on…
xxxx
These are so beautiful Kit!!!!
Me love.
oohh i love these and especially the polaroid of them
(and thank you for the comment on the mimco post, i really appreciate it. it was fun to see the different takes from everyone, yours was the first i saw…stunning, you really did the piece justice)
Warts and apple crumble is a bad mix though..how unfortunate that you had to gag.
Loving the polaroid.
My my I didn’t expect this, those socks are sooo amazinggg, and who’d have thought those Primark necklaces would end up this way, reincarnated into something so much bettah!
YES! Definitely one for fashion week – expect to be stopped and photographed by me!! Love these socks, couldn’t get through the photos fast enough to read what they were all about!
Just saw you commented on the Don’t Panic thing, thank you kindly!
wow the socks looks contagious, loved how you used a medical reference/name to name your post, Excrescence is a brilliant choice. I thought I read the word excrement….Doh my dyslexic.
Please wear it at LFW.
gah. incredible. i wanna wear em all day everyday.

Woah what a wart they are. Beautiful.
Don’t you think it looks very Chanel Couture-sque?
That’s super creative! Very cute
You’re amazingly talented Kit. Great title.
I agree with Heather, the socks does look Chanel-like.
You and your painstaking embellishments!! They look so worth it in the end though.
