Button Up



RECENTLY, I FOUND THIS AMAZING BUTTON STORE IN BRISBANE THAT LOOKED MORE LIKE A LOLLIE SHOP.  
THE BUTTONS FOR SALE WERE FROM EVERY DECADE OF THE 20TH CENTURY, UTILISING ALL THE RELEVANT MATERIALS OF THE TIMES, 
LIKE BAKERLITE ( A PROTO PLASTIC) FROM THE 30S AND CHROME FROM THE 70S.

EVERY COLOUR YOU COULD FIND IN A PANTONE SELECTOR.  EVERY SHAPE OR SIZE.  
A BUTTON'S FUNCTION IS NO LONGER SOULY FOR FASTENING BUT ARE MORE A FASHION DETAIL.  DON'T NELECT YOUR BUTTONS.  
LOOK AFTER THEM, KEEP A TRACK OF THEM, AND MAYBE CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL FROM THEM...
LIKE A LAMPSHADE AS SEEN IN SHIFTAZINE'S ARTICLE ' A BRIGHT IDEA' IN THE 'INTERIORS' CATEGORY.
