New stuff! Asian Insipred Couture

My theme for my spring 2008 line was inspired by the lush colors and unique cuts of the early Asian pallets. I intended to reinterpret them by giving them that modern edge, with unexpected colors, and unexpected lines while embellishing the dresses.I have done theme prior to this, but this specific endeavor really allowed me to explore the otherworldly beauty of Asia in a fantasy like realm.




Perhaps my favorite of the season so far is Lily. There is something about the red/black combination that is really timeless. The neck piece is really what stands out, as the feathers that frame the head have this stunning cascading effect. There is a gradient effect between the top and the skirt, which is adorned with rippling fabric.



Eliza is another of those Red/Black combinations that was too seductive to pass up. The collar is literally lush with free movement and the dress itself keeps the traditional lines, but punctuates the feminine frame.



The last is a really fun sort of quirky piece called Thai. This was something that I created in soft pink with a small pillbox hat because I found that it created a nice contrast to the others. It has it's own sort of charm, not entirely too serious or dramatic, but more disarming and innocent. It comes with it's own pair of bauble earrings, which I included because they are in a darker hue which compliments the outfit well.



The season isn't over, and coming soon is one called Caroline which is really quite remarkable.
