Paul Poiret with my own 2 eyes!

While traveling through France this summer I had the great fortune of seeing Paul Poiret Couture with my own 2 eyes! The fact that these were found in this adorable madame's attack in an old suit case makes this collection even more incredible. She sold most of the pieces to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC, but kept her faves which I'm sharing with you here. Her grandmother was one of Poiret's muses', but moved to the country side where she didn't have a chance to wear these incredible garments, but when ever she went into paris she was sure to pack her Poiret couture.

The forward thinking in both construction and design are incredible. The coats are constructed from one piece of fabric, the turban style hats, the dresses with the empire waists, and the hobble skirts are all signatures of "The King of Fashion". Poiret works continue to influence designers today.

Welcome Spring

This is my friend Andrea, her dog Madison, and her loverly Ilse Jacobsen boots. These are made from 100% natural rubber, and lined with cotton fleece

With all the hype about the fall 2010 collections, I thought that I'd take a moment to live in the present and welcome the first day of spring. There is nothing like a fun floral jacket (made by yours truly) and pink rubber boots to say 'We missed you warm weather'.
