So, this little book was a Christmas gift to myself. Oh my gosh. I'm so glad I purchased this. It's a wealth of inspiration. Major eye candy.
As I was lingering over it's pages, I noticed I was attracted to many pieces by Lanvin and Norman Norell.
Interesting! Of course it's not just the individual pieces, but the way they are styled. Would I want that pink Lanvin Jacket by itself? Maybe (o.k., probably) but, styled with all that beautiful turquoise? YES! Definitely!!
Can't recommend this book enough. It's a wonderful resource for artists and designers.
I once found an INCREDIBLE Norman Norell dress at a thrift shop for a song. Sadly, it was way too big for me so I never wore it but I had it for years, sometimes I still feel a pang of sadness that I sold it.
ReplyDeleteThose Lanvin pieces are amazing...the ruffle dress?? Insane!!
The oversize jewelry is so cool (especially those cuff bracelets). What else to wear with a pink and orange mohair coat!
