This vibrant crimson dress comes from Lie Sang-Bong’s Spring/Summer 2009 collection, Discourse: Fragments. Inspired by the jogakbo, a traditional Korean wrapping cloth pieced together from leftover fabrics.
1967 haute couture evening ensemble by Cristóbal Balenciaga. Gazar, tulle, ostrich feather.
The outer dress is pure Balenciaga at the end of his career: architectural, controlled, almost abstract.
Palais Galliera, Fashion Museum of the City of Paris
Dartmoor looking resplendent today in the richest greens of late spring before the dry golden grasses of summer take over. An equally mossy and verdant tea gown, mid #1890s Liberty, for sunny lounging @V_and_A#FashionHistory
