I'm working (much too slowly....) on my first fashion collection. I was hoping to have something to show by now; but life has not gone that way. Oh well.. much other stuff has happened. Let's aim for some sneak peek glimpses in a few weeks {still working on setting up new studio space, so I won't rush myself}.
Anyway - my collection features quite a lot of ruffles and frills and things. It seems I'm very fascinated with them.
Not sure if the fact that they are all over Anthropologie (and I suppose, some other fashion places...) is a good thing or a bad thing. Perhaps by the time I have my collection ready to show ruffles will be too overdone. Perhaps my pieces will be something different anyway - and it won't matter in the slightest. {Here's hoping the latter is the truth}.
Anyway, here's a few pieces from the newest Anthropologie collection. I'm very much liking this jacket and gunmetal shirt. And the berry coloured blouse is very sultry.

These few pieces are from Veronika Maine (as always favourite, and inspiring - love her cuts, designs, colours, shapes, patterns).

* There's more to look at here - ruffle, frill, pleat.

i'm with you, Veronika Maine do good stuff. AND it's well made.stuff that will last.
ReplyDeletelike that first jacket, interesting shape - is beautiful the way the excluded fabric is allowed to remain in place, rather than being cut away
looking forward to seeing your collection...
I love all of these beautiful outfits. Thanks for sharing.
