…………………….I loved this skirt for so many reasons…Of course the over all look of the skirt was pure fun. The ethnic, hand made. and artisan look of the skirt is what I truly loved. Yes, it was a challenge to design…..deciding the pattern the colors and where the metallic threads, sequins and beads should go was like a huge puzzle….but that’s the fun of designing….anyway for me. I know many designers would hand this project off to others to figure out. They would give them some sort of abstract inspiration and send them off. The minutiae of it was overwhelming for many. What I also love about artisan skirts or any apparel is there is no time or place……..they are never dated or out of fashion….because they are artisan……and that never goes out of style. This skirt looks as fresh and as much fun as when I first did it many years ago.
OMG Louis, please tell me who did this embroidery, did you send it overseas, or did Elaine (the saint) do this?
It reminds me of the gorgeous mosques we have here.
They use these blues and optic whites to pop the colors and are completely unapologetic when tiling these buildings which are covered every square foot in mosaic tile. The inside is even more beautiful than out.
The emb. was sent to China and Elaine and Rowena oversaw it. Of course I checked each sample sent and corrected them until they were right.
It look like stained glass, Louis. So pretty and unique!
Wow! This skirt is such a work of art!
