(Fabric Remnants)
Whilst rumaging through the mounds of ouffcuts of fabric in my favourite fabric shop I found these. They are both really lightweight and whilst they are not silk they certainly feel like it.
The one on the right is my favourite as it instantly reminded me of Brioni's 2011 Spring/Summer collection from Milan fashion week.
(Brioni Spring/Summer 2011)
Brioni's collection, whilst mainly focused on monotones of black and white lace, also featured the colour of the season, camel. But it was not the camel that caught my eye; it was the rare inclusion of coral.
Whilst other designers' pallets have featured ballet nudes, jewell brights, aztec patterns or safari prints, Brioni has stepped away from the pack and added a splash of something different to the collection. A colour that on its own is usually associated with a Grandmother's blouse or a bridesmaid's dress, but when mixed with camel looks modern and fresh. Perfect for Spring!
It's not clear from the picture above, but the fabric is of the same shades from Bioni's collection and something this beautiful needs to be worn. I feel a DIY may be coming on.....
