Anything that makes bicycling in a skirt better is on our summer-essentials list!

Duthch designer Nomonro make a dress clip for both summer breezes and winter winds.

We tested it out in Australia’s super hot summer, here’s how we went.

The Good:

1. Colour range – Nomonro clips come is all manner of designs and colours which means you can disguise it, or make it an eye-chatching addition to your outfit.

2. Non-slip – the clips are made from leather or fabric which means they don’t slip off silky dress fabrics,

You would never guess from her name, but paper-cut artist, Kathryn Carr, is a bicycle fan.

“Freedom is what comes to my mind when I think of a bicycle”, says Carr.

“It can be the first taste of independence and breaking free for a child…a bicycle can take us places in a way that does not require motors or outside forces”.

For Carr the bicycle has certainly been an artistic force and throughout her work she has put everything from elephants to rabbits astride the humble bicycle, creating dreamlike images that leave the imagination wanting more.Along with bicycle much of Carr’s inspiration comes from children’s books.
