linnie mclarty’s pin-less poppi brooches

Linnie Mclarty’s collection of Poppi brooches attach to clothing with no pins, allowing the wearer to adorn even delicate fabrics. The clothing becomes part of the art, providing an ever-changing backdrop for the jewelry. This hip designer showcases her work with high drama at its best. Eye-popping photographs highlight the uncomplicated shapes while giving us something to think about regarding body adornment.

Stunning!
Brilliant and beautiful design. But… I’m a bit stumped about how the brooches stay on. Is there something stuffed into the hole, behind the fabric? Or, perhaps, coffee hasn’t yet set in yet and I’m missing something obvious. (Most likely the latter. lol)
Thanks for a very inspirational post (yet again), Susan.
Melanie she has invented a unique fastener for these pieces. The name “Poppi” refers not only to the flower that they resemble, but also to the “pop-on” way that they attach to fabric.
Glad you enjoyed the post!
