OK, not this. This was just weird. But it was too weird not to post. Also note that the French are bringing high-waisted, pleated shorts back. Hello, 1991; how've you been?
Even French manikins love their dogs. Man, Paris is a great city.
It's hard to tell from this shot, but those are external darts you're seeing there, and they were everywhere in the shops in Paris. Not so much in London yet, but I expect to be seeing them in RTW within 12-18 months.I say that like I would know. But I'm guessing they're about to take off.
This dress was inky black and so, impossible to capture detail, but the draping was lovely, so I took a shot of the back and front bodices, right before the security guard hustled me off the floor for taking pictures.
Below, a covetable aubergine leather biker jacket in size Negative 4. I intend to knock it off as soon as I get my Kenmore back in working order (it may just be a $3 fuse that's acting up; I have ordered them. But the next problem is how the hell do I crack the case to get the fuses where they need to be? They really do not want a body opening the computerized part of the machine.) (But then, they never saw me coming, either.).
I'm not crazy about the bracelet-length sleeves, to tell you the truth. Those might look pretty and feminine, but they're almost always irritating to wear: either too short or too long.
This is a leather bag that looks simple and chic. I have the leather; I just need to find a pellon that can make it nice and stiff like that.
I love the clasp, although not having a zipper in that big a bag makes you a prime target for pickpockets. I'd install a zippered lining or some little flap that folds over the opening. Something so that I don't have STEAL FROM ME, IT'S EASY stamped on my forehead.

I enjoyed these pics very much, thank you, the black dress is gorgeous!
I love the leather jacket. Can't wait to see your version!
And don't you love Europeans and their dogs? A terrier was licking my toes all last night while I was at dinner.
Thanks, you guys! That dress was so lovely - floaty and ethereal. I really want to take a draping class now. That damn Gertie got me thinking about it.
Oh, and isn't that jacket a stunner? It's such a classic fit--you could do it up as a straight biker jacket (which I covet), or in linen or a stiff silk for dinner out. Same pattern, entirely different results.
I forget who first came up with the biker-jacket form--was it Chanel? Is that possible?--but whoever it was was a genius.
I saw some pictures of some dress or top someone had made with external darts recently and I was thinking "omg, they really did not understand the instructions on whatever pattern they used". Hehe. Maybe they were just very fashion forward... :)
