DOUBLE A: THE WATERLILY

BABY'S [GOT] BACK:





YEA WE'VE TOTALLY BEEN MILKING OUR TIME WITH ANTOINETTE, AS YOU CAN SEE. WE'RE STANDING IN HER STUDIO NEXT TO THE GHOST OF ONE OF OUR FABRIC PANELS, AFTER SHE'S HAD HER WAY WITH OUR SILK, LOOKING PRETTY PLEASED WITH OURSELVES. AND WHY SHOULDN'T WE? WE'VE MANAGED TO CONVINCE ANT INTO WORKING WITH US, LETTING US MAKE UP DRESSES FROM HER INCREDIBLE PAINTWORKS.


MONET DID WATERLILIES, WE'VE HEARD THAT SONG AND DANCE, AND HERE IS ANOTHER TAKE ON IMPRESSIONISTIC AQUA BUDS. DIGGING IT, DESPITE THE DODGY CHOICE OF FOOTWEAR (IT WAS RAINING, WATERLILIES, RIDING BOOTS, WATER BABY, LIKE DUCKS TO WATER: YOU GET THE PICTURE AND THE PAINTING).




DOUBLE A (ANTOINETTE WYSOCKI AND ALIX OF BOHEMIA) ONE OF A KIND HAND PAINTED DRESS, SILK BODY, WITH LACE SLEEVES AND BRODERIE ANGLAISE TRIMMING. HAND FINISHED THROUGH AND THROUGH, ONE OF A KIND AND SISTER TO OUR LOVELY PATTI CAKE.


THE WATERLILY DOUBLE TROUBLE CONUNDRUM: TO WEAR HER, TO HANG HER. YOU CAN CHOOSE. SAY HELLO HERE.
