Posso

"Bridging design, music and art, POSSO is the ever evolving project by artists Marylouise Pels and Vanessa Giovacchini. POSSO The DJ curates the sound of fashion events and clubs from Los Angeles to outer space. POSSO is currently working on several fashion and music projects." So basically Posso has 2 projects- Posso the Spat and Posso the DJ. Posso the DJ is Pels and Giovacchini's DJ name and Posso the Spat is their fashion project. Posso the Spat creates belts, bags, headbands, and of course spats. What are spats? Spats are shoe accessories that cover the instep and ankle, worn mainly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Posso has taken these old fashioned accessories and turned them into a modern and funky new trend. Basically they can be added to any pair of shoes to turn them into booties, tall boots, or gladiator-esque boots. Check out these photos of Posso's spats!
