I was desperatly consuming one of my fav blogs when I was prompt to a link for an Auction website, and it turned out to be fantastic Kerry Taylor Auctions browsing there and going a bit mad, it was an intespestive time in the middle ofthe night, I discovered the designs of Jean Muir... and felt completely for her and her designs. Lot 18 : A group of Jean Muir dresses and separates, 1970s.A group of Jean Muir dresses and separates, 1970s. labelled, approx 8 ensembles, including a medieval print chiffon blouse; brown jersey shirt with matching hat; together with an exhibition catalogue and newspaper clippings relating to her work; and others, various sizes. Jean Elizabeth Muir, (17 July 1928 – 28 May 1995) was a British fashion designer. From Scottish ancestry. "The clothes in themselves do not make a statement. The woman makes a statement and the dress helps."It was all about formality, hence the title of this post. According to several sources there are interesting facts about her, she preferred to be called a dressmaker. She was also a perfectionist, when it came down to her craft, but her personal life was quite unconventional and interesting as well, not from a "paparazzi" perspective but to try to grasp the most comprehensive understanding of who she was and how it reflected or not in her creations. She had a signature material, Jersey, (as Gabrielle Chanel did) it can be seen on many of her creations. Particular care was issued when it came to printing the fabric, she favoured subtle patterns on matte jersey. The style, details and certain sobriety of her designs along with an input of classic femininity make me think that COS could be a great fit as a retailer space for Miss Muir brand if it was still around. She was a focus talented woman who gave her talent to enhance and fortify femininity. There are, as I mentioned above, lots of possibilities to get your hands on some of Miss Muir creations, I'm working my way to it, a blazer perhaps. And finally dear reader I would enjoy very much to know what you think about the post and Miss Muir as well! Recently I found out about a really cool concept for eye wear at Kings of Past online shop. Everything they have: specs and sunglasses are from authentic designer brands and are unused . Like fine art, in a class of it's own. This original vintages are Classic models, they are unworn, brand new (but made 30+ years ago). They also have this interesting feature: Easy TRY ON shows just how glamorous our glasses look on, there are models with different face shapes for you to match yours to, and this makes the online shopping experience so much more interesting because you know what to expect!!!!! So I created a mix and match with sunglasses and eyeglasses feature my favourite desingers! Hope you all love this post! (^-^) Post en expañol aquí =)Design, originality and vintage feel are some of the elements that attract me immediately into a brand. In the case of clothing and particularly Killing Couture designs: charm has been almost instantaneous. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to meet two of the three designers behind the this fresh brand KC, the experience was extraordinary, they are like their designs: original, funny, classy and also committed to sustainable consumption. I was told first hand how is their creative process how everything started on a weekend April 2012 three friends came together with the idea of giving life and shape a project that excited them for a long time. Each has interesting careers although non directly related to the fashion world. They Joined criteria and styles, Killing Couture was born, a brand that focuses not only on design but also on new forms of distribution, online sales, social networks, including designers often work virtually from different parts of the world. Another thing that fascinated me, is that also make clothes for man ... All details are hyper careful considerated and the enthusiasm and desire that you put everything they do is perceived immediately. I confess that I have become a KC girl! (^^) Don't miss this online experience! Killing Couture, quality clothing for you, darling!!! |
