Aphrodite Dress


GODDESS, QUEEN,A FEMME FATALE OF ELEGANCE. 

A study of simplicity and silhouette in ivory crepe jersey 
trimmed with silver hand beaded belts in a elegant draped hourglass 
deco design. The bodice smooths over the bust to the draped 
skirt that follows the figure beautifully. At the back a small train 
lengthens the line up to the open backed bodice with just the 
fine bead work for detail at the base of the spine.

Available exclusively online.

Collection 2014 - The Sketches

Freya

Each of the final designs you see, all beaded and beautiful starts with a sketch. In fact a number of sketches and bits of paper, backs of envelopes, midnight scrawls, digital scribblings of all the details that make up a single dress. As Paul Smith says, 'you can find inspiration in everything' and in my case everywhere.
Once these many sketches are brought together to form a single garment or accessory the magic really begins with the fabrics. Beads and colours are selected whilst patterns are cut and the sewing begins in a fury to see what the finished dress will look like.

These are the final sketches and a preview of the Divine Creatures collection, 2014.  A set of seven pieces that will ignite the imagination and soon leap off the page into reality.

Pandora
Juno

Fortuna
Aphrodite
