My Inspirations...

Hi, there! I trust that you had a wonderful Christmas.

Stepping into the year 2011!!  I am taking this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful New Year, filled with amazing surprises, and a new level of hope and opportunity that will come with it.

I have gathered a few images of things that have helped me in my design work through out the year.

I  read about the great Madame Vionnet in my research. A French fashion designer, best known as the queen of bias cut. Some of Madame Vionnet designs were inspired by the Kimono which she incorporated and translated it into her own Western designs. That inspiration, influenced some of my designs...

Comme des Garçons - 'pick n mix' s/s 2011/10

Comme des Garcons, one of my other favourite designer, and the likes of Kenzo, Etro, Pucci, and Larcroix, just melt me! When I look at these designers work, its almost like they are not thinking, and that's exactly what I like about them, sheer Madness!! I have lots more designers that I really like, but the ones I have mentioned just complete me.

This time, I have just selected a few of my favourite outfits that I like from Comme des Garcons, spring summer 2011 and ss 2010.
Enjoy!
