Maison Bentley Style x
Are we all here? hope so! I think I’ve done it…but I suspect time and the dreaded stats will be the only way to truly know. I do plan a visual face lift FOR THE BLOG (sigh) at some point, but I think it might be wise to let all these technical bits bed down first. Feel free to look around and play ‘spot the difference’..it’s going to take a while to settle but hey, there’s a Blog Party to think about and Vintage Attitude is already buffing her baby cham! I’m rapidly writing invitations as I type and full details will follow in the next post..
But onto matters close to my heart..on my many wanderings round the web I stumbled across Mr Gugu & Miss Go. and was particularly enamoured of their sweatshirts (I’m thinking pencil leather midi with dramatic statement necklace combo?), not only do they offer their own ingenious designs from a whole cornucopia of ideas that would put an Oscar winning bobby dazzler on Mary Katranzou’s face, but you can also upload your own photos or artwork (Holzfeder?(who is running a fantastic charity campaign on her blog – well worth checking out by the way) and The Crazy Bag Lady? up for it?!) it would create a properly personally dramatic and unique piece..and all for 55 euros (about £47) including European delivery…bargain!
Based on a carpet! J’adore!
There’s something about this one..
Would you? Could you?!
The Christmas party?
There’s a fine line between bling and sing, but these are just sirening how terribly hashtag buy.me.now…..

These are beyond artistic, really like them! x
They certainly make a statement! But I have to confess..I’ve fallen in love xxx
I love the top one and the bottom one! They look amazing (^-^)
My two favourites! I don’t know what it is about the top one..a subliminal Kenzo haunting..but I have ordered that one – just wish I’d seen the bottom one as it would have been a close call! xxx
The detail on the sweat is amazing. I’d love to see you wearing it!
A shopping to find a black midi pencil to go with? Kids go back 4 nov! x
Sure! I should be better by then (^_^)
cool prints, I love the first one!

Is it the eyes? I was so drawn to it..I’ve ordered so waiting to see what the quality is like – also dying to know what the back is! xxx
Yes exactly. the blue eyes are enchanting. 🙂
The ‘Would you Could you’ does something to me… I keep going back for another look…
Have a look at the website..it’s a bit like being in a sweetie shop..72 pages of options! But this one..there is something about the colour and the texture..so glad you found me again! xxx
Loose you and miss the party? Tsk tsk tsk! But seriously you hadn’t gone anywhere… or I have a really smart reader! xxx
xxxxxx I had a chat with WordPress yesterday and they ported to the new url for me..I was fully expecting a disaster being the technophobe that I am and have been quietly amazed how smoothly everything has gone! I think if you didn’t know, you’d hardly know..which has to be a good thing! xxx
Reblogged this on twist & turn and commented:
Amazing find by Madam Bentley!
Thank you lovely xxxxxx
These are brilliant – they take sweatshirt chic to a whole new level! I have my eye on the magic carpet…
Do you think it could fly?! xxx
Fabulousness indeed. Great pressie idea for the dreaded “c word”…..did you get my email with fabric ideas? Xx
No! damn it..can you send again? contactkatebentley@gmail.com! xxx
Have sent 2 emails now with 4 fabric choices! Hope that works xx
A very big thank you! Hope reply has arrived..we’re on half term here so I was at the science museum yesterday..did mean I got to fly in the red arrow simulator..quite an experience! xxx
like the 2nd last very much
Funny enough I put that one in to show the illustrators how simple black and white designs could work and how effective they could be xxx
I love the first sweater!

Fight you for it! xxx
These are stunning works of is-this-art-or-is-this-fashion, especially #1, #3 and #8 ! I think that it’s an amzing idea to celebrate your new-looked site with a Blog Party ! Cheers to new beginnings !!! xxxx
Thank you lovely! I need one of your catwalk photos with someone wearing them..maybe with a sparkly skirt, trainers and a beanie?! xxx
Oh yeah, these fantastic tops would perfectly fit the Katy Perry-style look ! xxxxx
the rise of the Cliff Huxtable sweaters!
Only you!! xxx
Love the dark haired mermaid one! Xx
Reminds me of those beautiful Japanese cartoons..and that bluey green is such a fantastic colour..matching nail varnish?! xxx
Ooh yes lovely xxx
Thanks for the idea of uploading my drawings to Mr Gugu and Miss Go and for mentioning our campaign – and of course for supporting it –
A pleasure..such a simple, effective, cool idea xxx
Love these…I keep falling in love with fashion… Xxx
No..you’re just in luurve full stop! xxx
Haha, this is true!!! Xx
I love these….that last one really speaks to me for some reason!! It is a fine line between art and fashion and both all at once…I love it! Good luck with your switch over! I noticed the new title and recognized you immediately!
It was really weird porting the Blog and changing the url which I did with the help of the lovely people at WordPress…they said it could take 72 hours to all settle down so I was a bit nervous and fully expecting silence today. Phew! Let alone Gravatar changes etc..I know how much I recognise other people by their Gravatars..scary..but ultimately good xxxx
‘Would you could you’ for me! J’adore the birds, too. In fact I’m going as Tippi Hedren from the Birds for Halloween and I’m seeing birds everywhere! Is it a warning?!
You realise that photos will be required?! So far we have a vampire dog and a vampire cat..fight?! xxx
Photos will be posted. Vampire dog and cat sound most excellent!
omg what did i miss? I’m here….OOH fabulous website! Checking it out now!! tks! xx
Enjoy! tempted? xxx
How are you involved with it?
No connection at all! Xxx
Oh lol, but it does really look interesting. Not sure how to get involved with it though. It looks like it’s all in house designs x
Either find ‘custom sweaters’ on the site or click my ‘sweatshirt’ link..you can then upload will your own design. It would be then your personal shirt..but still pretty cool! xxx
o thanx for the info! I didnt see that link! Exciting! xx
They are amazing!
Pretty eye catching! I did look further into the website..they actually have a hamburger swim suit..one to avoid me thinks, although Bella and Charlie found it most amusing and want to buy it for me for my birthday…eeeek xxx
Looking forward to the parrrrttty! Do we have to wear a sweatshirt? Hahaha
A-haaa! Just wait and see..I have plans…she says cryptically.. xxx
Crazy good. Aren’t they available in the US, dammit? Must check. One gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Christmas jumper”! It’s just like you’ve packed up and moved just round the corner 🙂
They say international shipping..could be worth a try. I have ordered the tiger..I succumbed..When it arrives I’ll give you the low down on quality etc. It’s strange isn’t it? Everything ported like a dream.. xxx
Oh a blog party sounds like fun!
We had a blast last one..was a genuinely funny experience! xxx
Hopefully I can make it, I have a shoot on Sunday and with the time difference It could get awkward but ill dot best!
Bung up a post and we can all pop over to Oz and celebrate your success! xxx
Sounds good to me! At an exhibition will do as soon as I get home ! You rock bring on the winebulance!
Oh, They are so amazing. I wanna have the first one.
Snap! It’s those lazer eyes..and the very clever black around the neck line..very flattering..I am very curious as to what happens on the back of the sweat shirt.. xxx
The first one Rocks, nice blue eyes.
Incredible hey? well worth checking out their other designs..though I think the ‘custom sweaters’ is the best bit xxx
They are def pieces of art! 😉
Feel free to visit my blog as well if you wish! ❤

This is amazing. Tweeting it btw.
Thank you – I take it I should add you in?! xxx
Sure. I’d like to know which manufacturer printed on those sweatshirts. Your blog is absolutely amazing. I’m tweeting it as we speak. ^+^
