EnVogueLove - I haven't seen those particular items, but you may want to take a look at the online sellers of Dries to get a sense for what they may cost (brownsfashions.com, joanshepp.com, mytheresa.com,
www.antonioli.edu). Generally, the more embroidered/beaded/etc the item, the higher the price!
So there's an interesting discussion in DvN F/W 2010 thread about how easily (or not) Dries items can integrate into a wardrobe, and I thought we could continue the discussion here. The question is whether you need to commit to the Dries look when wearing his clothes. I think I get stuck either trying to create a Dries look or wearing the items very simply with good basics. Take for example this skirt, which I wear a lot. It's a basic shape, which makes it easy to wear. But I wear it in perhaps not very adventurous ways. This outfit is my best way of chaneling the runway look. But otherwise, I usually just wear it with simple sweaters and tops.
And then I have this top, which is languishing in my closet. It has a beautiful drape and really works well with many skirts. But for some reason, I have outerwear issues with it. I often feel stuck looking at the runway pictures for inspiration.
Other people here, like
softgrey and
luckyme (and I'm sure others) find ways to wear Dries in unexpected ways, which I really admire
btw, both the top and the skirt (oh, and the shoes!) are from one of my favorite collections, f/w 2005
I would live in that collection. I guess that's committing to the Dries look, once again!
