Dear Diane, Dear Shaded Viewers,

I have seen some of the collection from MoonSpoon Saloon's "Sons and Daughters" Spring 2012 and I can't wait to see the rest.  

MoonSpoon Saloon call themselves sons and daughters of fascination who turn their fascination into performance and cloth. Designer Sara Sachs, contemporary artist Tal R, and photographer/film director Noam Griegst formed the dynamic collective known as MoonSpoon Saloon in 2009.
