Inspirational

There is just something about this image. The cascading ruffles. The deep rose flowing out to the palest pink. I just want to delve my hands into that divine silk voile. yum.

It is from a dress on display at the Valentino Retrospective exhibition that is currently displaying in Brisbane. I spent a fabulous morning there today with a great friend, after we shared breakfast at the best hidden laneway spot I have ever been to. Boy am I inspired! And so in awe of haute couture seamstresses who never touch a machine.

It is however disappointing and frustrating to be standing next to people when all that they can say is "oh I would never wear that... what was he thinking?". I guess some people will never understand that fashion is the most personal form of art.

Time to put that inspiration to good use! I have the 'summer' dress to finish this week!
