DEGAS GIRL

DO YOU KNOW THE DEGAS GIRL?

WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ENCHANTED BY THAT MAN'S LOVELY DANCER OF 14.

WHEN WE FIRST SAW HER IN THE MET, WE WERE TRANSFIXED BY HER POSE, AND THE TATTY HAIR RIBBON.

(WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN A SUCKER FOR THE DETAIL)

SO, SEEING AS ITS MONDAY

AND ITS KIND OF SUNNY IN LONDON TOWN, WE SUITED AND BOOTED UP

THE ALIX OF BOHEMIA 

POPPY GO LUCKY DRESS:

THIS GIRL IS MADE FOR TWIRLING.

FULL SKIRTED PRINTED HEAVEN OUT OF TEXTURED COTTON,

WITH A LICK OF POPPY ON THE NECKLINE AND SLEEVES.

WE'RE NOT AS LOVELY (PARTICULARLY THIS MORNING) AS DEGAS' GIRL, BUT WE CAN PRETEND.

(WE'RE REALLY GOOD AT PRETEND)

SHOP IT HERE.

PAPER DOLLS

WE'VE ALWAYS HAD A THING FOR PAPER DOLLS.

 BARBIE WAS CONSIDERED CONTRABAND IN OUR CASA,  AND SO TWO-DIMENSIONAL DRESS UP WAS THE COOLEST THING EVER, 

(NEXT TO REAL DRESS-UP OF COURSE).

ALIX OF BOHEMIA PAPER DOLLS IN THE WORKS; THE BEGINNING OF OUR 

TROUSSEAU-PAPIER ABOVE.

AND SOME COLLECTED IMAGES TO INSPIRE:

GYPSY HIS AND HERS 

SEVENTIES KENZO

CAN WE HAVE THE INDIAN GIRL OPTION ON THE RIGHT?

ONE CAN IMAGINE HOW THRILLED WE WERE TO UNCOVER BOWIE AND BIRKIN PAPER DOLLIES, RESPECTIVELY.

HOW FABULOUS IS JANE'S DAISY UNDERWEAR?

SOMETHING SO COOL ABOUT THE DISMEMBERED PIRATE JESTER:
