Just down the street is a store with clothes that are considered works of art. Darbury Stenderu is an artist living in Seattle. She takes natural silks and velvets and paints them with layers of organic dyes, creating clothes that explode with color and texture. Clark says Stenderu is most famous for her long, bias cut dresses. The fabric sings out in beautiful colors which can only be achieved by this overdying and a combination of dying.
Nothing is simple here.
It's all touched many times with many simple colors. The store itself is layered in the fabrics. Even the dressing room has been touched by the artist's hand. Seven days a week, Mad Magda's features a palmist and mystic. Cornelia also reads tarot cards, making this probably one of the most unusual places to pass the time over a latte and sandwich.
