Sarah Burtons new S/S 2012 McQueen collection all about life underwater !
the fortuany type pleating and the detail is just sensational
coral dream
blistering barnacles
thundering tycoons
a little bit similar to the coral sample i made below that i wish to cover a slinky little mini dress with
i love this so much but you already guessed that
oh and i think kate would look great in one of these head pieces
below is a dress by Alexander McQueen featured in the Savage Beauty book
“My friend George and I were walking on the beach in Norfolk, and there were thousands of razor-clam shells. They were so beautiful, I thought I had to do something with them. So, we decided to make [a dress] out of them. . . . The shells had outlived their usefulness on the beach, so we put them to another use on a dress. Then Erin [O’Conner] came out and trashed the dress, so their usefulness was over once again. Kind of like fashion, really.” WWD, September 28, 2000
right this is SO weird because i was walking along a beach in Norfolk during the summer and i had exactly the same idea (to make a dress from razor clams) so i collected lots and washed them and spray painted them silver at home for my mermaid project for my degree.... and i have witnesses.
and another sea creature like McQueen ensamble accompanied by one of my favourite pieces of music
