This is a wallpaper designed
by Peggy Angus and printed from linocut, from around 1965.
It features a design
of stylized birds and dogs surrounding an ogee panel in two shades of
orange/red.
The colors and the bird on the wallpaper reminds me of the Fenix.

It appears to be a dress fabric that was detached from the rest of the garment. I believe it is a dress collar.

1920 – 1940
Dress collar with a lively design of leaf shapes in shades of orange, brown and blue.
( I think the leaves are also dark earthy green and cream).
The scale and immediacy of the design suggest it may have been produced at an artist's workshop rather than an industrial-scale print works. A renewed interest in craft based printing techniques in the 1920's saw the establishment of a number of specialist, hand-block printing workshops. The work of Phyllis Baron and Dorothy Larcher, and the Footprints design studio is particularly well known. This collar is likely to have been part of the Silver Studio's reference collection.
The design of the collar is very interesting. It reminds me of the ones house wives would use in movies to recreate how a lady should look like back in the days. Mostly all bottom up.

Nowadays we use them also as necklaces sometimes to look sophisticated.
I see this type of collars in dresses more often when I visit Vintage shops then in high street stores.
It reminds me of Pin up Girls.

My name is Melissa Freire, I’m 26,I was born in France and I’m a Professional
dancer and choreographer in London.
2.What
influenced you to become a hip hop dancer/choreographer?
I took ballet classes when I was young but then I stopped and only started
dancing again when I was 12 years old. I was taking hip hop classes and one of
my teachers invited me to an audition to go into a professional dance group
called dance to excess.I was 15 years old when I got into the group where I
trained for 5 years travelling with them going to Chicago representing the
group and going to train in New York too.Since then I realized that I wanted to
be a dancer, it was always my dream to be in a dance group, to perform on stage
and be able to do everything that I saw in MTV. That was it, I never stopped I
just kept fighting for everything and that got me where I am now here in London
still doing exactly the same thing I was doing 10 years ago but now professionally.
3.What sort of
clothing do you wear more regularly?
Basically what I wear is a lot of let’s say easy clothing, basic
clothing. Leggings, shirts, shorts, crop tops, oversize jackets, something
simple because I like to feel really relaxed. Also the trainers, beanies or
snap backs and the chains are so important, accessories are everything.
4.Do you prefer
your clothes to be fitted or more loose?
It depends; if we go back in time maybe eight years ago we usually used to
wear more baggy clothing. A lot of volume, XL t-shirts or men clothes, but now
with time even in the dance world the way that we dressed changed and we start
using tighter clothing. Nowadays some dancer wear a high waist legging and a
crop top and an oversize shirt tied up around the waste.
5.Do you have
any favorite items of clothing? Where do you normally go shopping?
I would say leggings I’m crazy about leggings but I would say beanies as
well it wouldn’t be the same without beanies. I am not picky at all I just go
everywhere anywhere what I see if I like it I buy it. I have been doing a lot
of online shopping now and I’m becoming a bit addicted to it, it’s so easy, I
started 2 months ago on Boohoo and Miss Guided they have everything and you get
loads of discounts but of course I like the basics like Topshop and Primark
too.
6.How would you
describe your style?
I think I have two sides. Sometimes I
like to dress a bit more not like a guy but carefree. Use no makeup, put a
t-shirt, a sweater, a snap back and leggings, I always like to keep it somehow
feminine. But then in some others days I think maybe I’m going to look like I’m
26 today and dress up a little bit more like a lady so I put some boot cut
jeans and a nice top and some heels, always simple but effective. I guess it
depends on how I wake up and if I have an audition or classes that day.
7. Do you think your work influences the way you
dress and behave?
Every day of my life my work
influences me. I’m always dancing, I’m always thinking of dancing is part of
me. I never had a normal job like finish my studies and go to interviews, my
job interview is an audition where I have to present myself as a dancer. People
ask me how old I am and I say I’m 26 and they won’t understand, they will tell
me I look like I just came from school and why I’m dressed up like that.Maybe I
just came out from four hours rehearsals for a show with Lily Allen that’s my
job so that’s the way I’m going to dress every day because I always have classes
or auditions. Is just natural, if you go to a bar, club or even
just on the street straight away you can understand who is the dancer, the way
they walk, their movements, their posture is unmistakable. I have so many
videos with me and my friends dancing on the street randomly is in us is
impossible for us not to do it but some people don’t get it at all.
8.Music plays a
big role in your life, what kind of music do you listen to?
I listen to so many styles of music
all my life I have been threw different phases. I would listen to rock, Limb
Bizkit, and at the same time I would listen to hip hop and R&B, Miss
Elliot, Usher, Michael Jackson forever since I was a kid is definitely my
biggest inspiration. But then I love classical music too, reggae, house, so if
I give you my phone with my playlist you would be a bit confused. I just love
music in general, life without music would be completely impossible for me.
