Gorgeous Client Post - Kelly Framel


Not only is this a fan-tab-ulous client spot featuring of one of our very own past collaborators - Kelly Framel - designer extraordinaire of The Glamourai - but even the New York Times took note!

Kelly looked stunning in her Shrimpton Couture 1970s Bill Blass frock at the Parson's Gala and was featured in the NYT write up on the event!

Stunning!

Gorgeous Client Post - Rosalind

Rosalind (don't you love her name?) Bought one of the Simone's Rose pieces to wear to the Met when she jaunted off on a New York trip. She swore to me that she would send a picture and I am so happy that she did!

Michelle (the designer behind the SR label) is genius at taking vintage kimono fabrics and using them to make an entirely new and original design. I love this concept and the fabrics are so much better then fabrics of today - its really the best of both worlds. Rosalind agrees and even posed so that we could get the full effect of the part of the frock with the most of the fantastic design showing.

I love how she kept it bare at the top but added tights and pretty pumps (I am sure it was still pretty chilly in NYC). Simple gold hoops and a beautiful cuff on the arm that is more bare adds the perfect touches.

What a gorgeous girl!




Shop Michelle's collection in our reconstructed boutique here. There are not many pieces left but more are on the way!! (and the maxi versions you will see that are still left - those are to DIE in person!)

Gorgeous Client Post - Dagmar

I am just back from Europe. I spent a glorious week tromping about Switzerland and Italy buying lovely pieces for all of you!! I will be sharing pictures and posts from there in the upcoming weeks - I hope you enjoy!

In the meantime, I am the happiest girl because I have a SLEW of gorgeous clients in Shrimpton Couture pieces to share with you! I am actually a little behind so expect a ton of posts!!

Today I want to share gorgeous Dagmar with you, who took full advantage of the Featured Closet event we have underway with Judy of Atlantis Home and Jane of Sea of Shoes. (more stuff is coming soon from them too btw - just in case you missed out!). Dagmar scooped a few lovely pieces and shared them with me and her readers of her stellar blog Beauty Country! I love how she took these pieces and made them utterly and completely her own - she has a quirky sense of style and it is a real treat seeing how she mixed these pieces up! Enjoy

This 1980s Diane Freis got the hippie chic treatment




Then it's a take on old hollywood glamour - this crazy 1960s lame piece goes sleek polished glam on Dagmar








I loved seeing this one - these eighties huge shouldered pieces can be a challenge for girls to style - Dagmar belted and made hers in a tunic! Brilliant



And this one is super - we get to see it styled two ways - first on Judy with a classic twist and then the Dagmar way with her unique, colorful, happy twist!




Did you just die over those shoes? They are Fam Irvoll - I cracked up when I saw them - and for the oddest reason they actually work!! Love it!

{should have been vintage} at the met

this dress made me automatically think of the amazing applique & embroidered daisy gown that I just listed recently. yes my dress' skirt is almost as full, but, it needs to be on a real girl to really get the full effect. they certainly do share some similarities don't you agree?

dakota fanning's version is not vintage - it's valentino resort 2011. it is easy at first glance to think it might be vintage. now, the house of valentino does not deliberately design pieces to appear as if they are vintage like some designers do ........ no, their designs are just so classic and timeless that they have become part of the very basis of what we think of as a vintage look.

no matter what year a gown by valentino was actually designed and made in, you often will look at a valentino piece and be a bit stumped - old or new?

people will sometimes question what makes a designer great - just add the above thought into your answer.......
