Mother Nature.

The long holidays create ample time for me to reflect over past collections and projects. While sifting through my wardrobe found my collection from last year. And found that i still really liked it. The theme mother nature includes natural fibres and natural dyes to create clothes with refrences to the 1970's.
Here i styled it with bare feet, and i simple tossled hair. In the middle of this rape field the natural pinks and browns work together with the yellow, against the dark depressive sky.

Family

Theres an undoubtful link in fashion choices through your family. One of my best sources of inspiration comes at looking at old photographs mostly of my grandad and grandma. The 1950's was a brilliant time for fashion, and when i look at these photograpghs i envy my grandma who, at the time would have been about my age. Who looks effortlessly stunning with puffed sleeves and frilled neckline.





This below is my ultimate favourate photograph. My grandma with the jointy angled hat and the belted coat, which has always leads me to belt my coats to the waist.
But what i liked about these times is the fashion concious men. Suited and booted as more of a regular accurance than these days. I find this a brilliant source for inspiration in times of creative block.
