Gus is in his tailor’s studio, helping
test the drape of some fabric (for a project that is a bit outside my
usual repertoire!) while his neighbor, George, waits to get her
measurements taken. Miniature artist, @carliekarl,
requested a bespoke Barbie-sized shirt dress, and Gus and I are doing
our upmost to get it right. This project reminded me forcibly of two
things, 1: the iconic photo of mid-century design genius, Jacques Fath,
draping fabric in his studio, with his wife, Geneviève, and 2: @adrian.dollslife ‘s May photo theme for the #adriandollslifekenchallenge “Anything for you, Barbie!” Scroll down to see George modeling the finished dress, and the faux suede jacket that was requested along with it.
These pieces were inspired by the this jacket and shirt-dress from this past Autumn/Winter Polo Ralph Lauren ladies' collection.
