    I'm speechless. :oops: This collection is beautiful and the background is surreal. I loved the rich tweeds and tartans. There was an unspoken beauty of the undone hems and sleeves that I can't express. The stripes also had a Parisian flair that I loved. Very nice and I'm very pleased. :wub:

    Yes! I love the stripes. Very parisian. And the hair...doesn't it sort of remind you of 18th century Marie Antoinette? I love it! :wub:

    Excellent collection :wub:

    For me, it has a modern Japanese take on 1940's style. Even the loose edges remind me of the 'make do & mend' philosophy during the war.

    I love this collection. the heavily woven fabric, the unfinished edges...the period-inspired simplicity. I don't know if anyone will understand my connection, but some of the pieces look as though they've been drawn out of an ancient irish bog and reconstructed. a few things remind me distinctly of the shinrone gown. I don't know, it's a theory. :oops: wherever the inspiration came from, I really like it. :grrr:
