Fleet Ilya is the skill child of one Russian born traditional saddle-maker, and one Saint Martins Graphic Design graduate from London.

From the harnesses and masks in the sexually playful signature collection ‘Restraint‘, to some incredibly sculptured/ easy to wear belts, hats and bags in rich leathers- there is something for everyone. Everyone with a pretty penny on two.

Working alongside some of the industry’s most respected names Fleet Ilya have more recently collaborated on a new limited edition piece for ‘Cabinet de Curiosities’ by Thomas Erber, an exhibition at Collette, and shot their latest ‘Restraint’ campaign with world-famous photographer Rankin.

Leather at its finest.

Hong Kong born Renee So lives and works in London. Her second solo exhibition at The Kate MacGarry Gallery is a friendly combination of knitted portraits and bulbous sculptures, inspired by the German Bellarmine stone vessels of the 16th Century.

Originally used for storing ale or wine, Elizabethans came to use these as ‘witch bottles’–holding a boiled concoction of urine, fingernail and hair clippings with iron nails and pins– to protect oneself against witchcraft. Of course.

Renee So’s work in this exhibition recalls the history of this ceramicware with their gradual stylization and abstraction over time and their multi-purpose function. The vessels  were soon mass-produced for the drinking English market by less skillful potters. The work shown plays lovingly with the progression of these vessels from practical to less naturalistic and more stylised.

The exhibition, just off London E2′s Redchurch Street, is on until Febuary 25th. And free.
