I will forever and a day be about craftsmanship. It's something I feel to my core. A lingering sense of respect and admiration for those who envision a dream and make it so - stitch by stitch. Details, profound.
The power of creation, the elements that come together to make something truly special - and divine. It may come from seeing my grandmother make exquisitely tailored clothing by hand. Influenced by Dior and Balenciaga. From my grandfather taking me to Barneys' as a child. My killing time time thumbing the textiles and smelling the handcrafted leather mens shoes that laid in the fitting rooms. Very early on, I discovered a real respect for fine cashmere, Irish linen (the best of it always wrinkles) inherent in the fibers. Long part of its allure.
So when I see the utterly magical creations, soon to be legends - craftsmanship of the likes of Georgina Chapman and her partner Karen Craig of Marchesa, simply my heart flutters. The images here are from Vogue.com - but the sentiment of all they create are mine. Long lasting and pure.
The inspiration boards are swoon-worthy...
Details are pure magic... Just imagine how long it took to create a square inch of this embroidery...
Influences to be proud of...
