elegance.

(Norman Norell - Evening Ensemble, 1970–71)

the current fashion exhibit at the brooklyn museum (which i haven't actually visited yet) features this outfit among others... i am enamored with this look and the organza sleeves and the big bow at the neck remind me of some pieces i've created in the past (no wonder i'm drawn to it). i love classic designs and how they can still translate over the years! i really must do more pieces with organza, its structured and holds shape so well and yet its still light and elegant. all the flea markets i've visited and the vintage shopping i've been doing recently make me nostalgic for a certain look and quality of work that only seems to found in pieces from this era...
