I find fashion inspiration in the most unusual places, in this case Sandro Botticelli and his early Renaissance works.
Botticelli and his lush femininity had me thinking silk chiffon, crepe de-chine and soft flowing drapery.
Gazing at the painting, Primavera made me long for a return to softer dressing, to wear a subtle mix of the elegant with the womanly.
Words such as delicate, graceful and gentle came to mind and an obscure connection in a far away place had me re-interpreting my wardrobe
Lately I have been wearing the all tailored and while it’s the way I want to dress, I am in the mood to be more creative, to flirt with textures and loosen the lines.
After my Botticelli moment, I am adding sheer blouses to my wardrobe. I will be wearing chiffon with my leather Pixies and biker boots, playing up the contrasts.
