Varvara Stepanova lived from 1894 to 1958. I really adore her work and I can see a lot of it in some artists who are around now. Whether this is because she's timeless or because we're having a nostalgic blip I don't know.

Some of my favourite things are her clothes and textiles.

Most of these designs date from 1924, a good year for her I think.
