Stuff

I'm mostly a visual person so I many times I find peace and inspiration in beautiful pictures. I have an entire ever growing collection of images so I thought I would share it with you guys! Ofcourse I could do like everybody else and post them on Facebook, but I'm too lazy to do that.



Love the contrast of the shoes vs the innocent princess attitude!

love the details of the blouse and how the picture is made...capturing a moment

well...you get the message here:)

How superb are the details on the back? 

collored glass+light = something amazing

just gorgeous!

shoes that read Vogue!

I absolutely love Mira Duma's style!

Glitter in the night...

Paris...soft contrast...lovely

like pages in a book...


simply beautiful

Christian Dior- 1949-50 collection, Junon Dress, Venus Dress (in the back)

so ethnic&cool

this is a picture I found when I was making my storyboard for my design classes.
I like the mix of colors

     Jesse Owens- won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. 


Is this a dream bed or what?


Mud art, again for my storyboard. The theme?

Yes.

It's about mud.

RED


there's something vintage modern cool about this picture

Madame Vionnet, queen of the bias cut.

Sequins it is!

So cute! I'm a sucker for lace!!!

I like the detalis on the blouse!

Karla form Karla's Closet. She loves vintage just as much as I do!

Have a lovely weekend!

Favorite Dresses

"For a dress to survive from one era to the next, it must be marked with an extreme purity"
Madame Gres

      I love fashion history. But what surprises me when I'm looking back in time is how I find amazing designs that are so contemporary....even if they were made in 1930! That is true creative genius, to design something that is forever gorgeous, an immortal piece that conquers the many trifles of lady Fashion.
This is just a tiny selection of my favorite dresses and looking at them motivates me to overcome my limitations. Hope you enjoy it just as much as I do!

                                        This has to be the most amazing back I've seen in a dress.
                                                   Gianfranco Ferre Autumn/Winter 1992/93
And the front isn't disappointing either:P
Simple, sleek, sensational
Madame Vionnet 1938, winter Collection
I adore it! I would get married in this dress!
                                                 Grace Kelly in Madame Gres I think....
                                                         She's fabulous anyway!
                       
Madame Gres 1976
How cool is this?!!!
Madame Vionnet 1921
Madame Vionnet 1936
Christian Dior (the designer, not the brand)- Junon dress 
Fall/Winter 1949/50
Inspired by the patron goddess of Rome, Juno(Hera in Greek mythology) and the bird associated with her, 
the peacock. This dress is art in motion. 
Giles Spring/Summer 2007
