Chapter I: The Courtier Femininus Superbus
General Discussion
Isn't that the genus that feasts mercilessly on unsuspecting prims?I hear the females can consume thousands a day...
As some of you know, in real life I work in fashion - and imagine my joy when my twin (but by no means mutually exclusive) loves of Versailles and excruciatingly expensive frocks collided at New York Fashion Week! Hopefully Versailles is a trend for A/W 2011??
Thakoon's collection was inspired by rococo silhouettes and also photography of African tribes - the checkered fabric has a Masaai feel, but the silhouette here is pure paniered caraco.
Jason Wu's show was actually inspired by Robert Polidori's documenting of the restoration of Versailles - and is definitely his best collection to date.
I don't usually regret not attending NYC fashion week - but this is definitely an exception! Hopefully it'll carry over to Europe!
Decent means on his deathbed and stinking rich, I assume?
Bisous!
PLATES!!!
Merci madame! I am sure I shall pay a king's ransom for more when we have the annual sale of porcelain in his Majesty's chambres.
(Which we should definitely do - and more Versailles auctions too! I want a sofa!!)
I think whichever noble nobly loaned his estate for this photoshoot should get some items pro bono!
Especially plates. LOTS OF PLATES.
Incroyable! In fact, it's incroyable I ever managed to get the notecards finished (thanks to your gentle poking/thrashing)
I'm already anticipating furthering my income - and my wardrobe - with an advantageous marriage to a pious bourgeoisie girl! Bring on the third estate say I!
