Description
Spring 08 Moodboard"anything you can wear, i can wear better"
"color.swatches" [link]
"Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." -Coco Chanel
and that's exactly what I'm trying to address in my collection. I imagined this little story in my head: "This collection will be for a working sophisticated woman, who lives in this urban, under-construction, grungy-posh city. She works for a major fashion mag, lives with her dog Chanel in a mainly brick walled/stainless steel/polished wood apartment/condo. She loves to go out with her friends, and drink martinis while wearing her oversized sunglasses, leather handbags, and 5 inch heels, but at the same time, finds time to work out and decorate her fabulous condo with vintage inspired pieces."
"fabrics."

I especially adore that first pattern image -- what a deliciously quintessential elegant 60's skirt sillhouette!
You'd do Doris Day proud, darling, though I bet you'd give her much nicer hats!

I wonder...where'd you get those old McCalls-pattern-esque pictures?

I searched "60's fashion" on google images, and this is what came up. I hope that you find what you're looking for!

Love the colour scheme, love the concept. I especially love the late 50s dress patterns you've included there- I've collected them for years...I actually think I have the one in the middle of the bottom row...
Can't wait to see the collection
