black with pastels

This outfit is an

ode to my constant

love affair with

pastels and black

Im also obsessed by

1950/40's sheer nylon blouses

Each time I find one
they get better!

Full outfit

detail of a

Victorian

beaded

bird

head

applique

I made it into

a traveling applique

The transitional in between

I seem to always like

anything

transitional

I think

the awkward

freshness

appeals to me

When I'm thinking of clothing

Seasonally

I prefer

spring

and fall

Historically

I love

Regency 1810-1820

WWI 1910-1920

1936-1940

1956-1960

Now

I prefer Marc Jacobs' Resort line

to the summer collection of 2009

What a surprise!!

its something transitional

I think this designer's collection

is a great example

of more to come

in this century/decade

soft and hard silhouette/textures

put together unexpectedly

and large scale

complicated techniques

done with printed textiles

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
