The Art of Fashion

Have I been busy with custom orders!  Here's a sneak peek at the shortlist of ideas for a client in Tennessee... soon to be a long silk satin kaftan with red brocade obi tie belt.  mb

Tuning in Tokyo

Just finished two more dresses for Eliza.  The black one is made in boiled double-knit pure wool from Marc Jacobs, which was remarkable to work with (and is on it's way to Japan next week!). mb

Fur Elise

 
Or, should I say, for Eliza.  A friend with a brand new blonde pixie cut. 

The brief: "I need a throw-on dress for summer that I can wear to work and just wear around, something 60's to match my hair". 

Et voila.  I've whipped this bold Marc Jacobs print single knit fabric into a pleat-front sleeveless dress with side pockets and narrow hem detail. 

Eliza's over Saturday to try it on - the proof of the pudding's in the tasting... mb

Sublime Simplicity

This week I designed and made this custom order top for a client who liked the Cinnamon Sequined Silk Kaftan but wanted something a little different.  It's based on the basic kaftan design, but with one long side which floats as you walk.  I hear it will be making it's debut this Saturday night... mb
