I’ve expressed my undying love for Vionnet before here. We’ve all heard of Gabrielle Chanel, but Madeline Vionnet was just as important as a female designer who liberated ladies in the 20s and 30s, if not more! The pioneering madam of the bias-cut left a legacy which inspired countless designers to drape fabric around the female form rather than just to construct a dress. Donna Karan, Roksanda Ilincic, Sophia Kokosalaki, even our home-grown Therese Rawsthorne and Willow have all created garments akin to Vionnet’s philosophy. So naturally I’m a little drawn to their new AW12/13 collection…modern, luxe and oh-so-wearable!
You can check out more of Vionnet pieces here, here and here.
Now, the annoucement you’ve all been waiting for…thank you so much for entering the Sarah Conners Python Clutch competition. Sarah and I loved reading your comments and it warms my heart to see you supporting a talented designer and beautiful lady as Sarah Conners! So without further ado, the randomly selected winner is…..
Jessica! Congratulations darling! Enjoy your brand new Sarah Conners python clutch. I will be sad to see it go, but I know you will give it a loving home.
For the rest of us, we can still pick out what our hearts desire from Sarah’s online store here. Enjoy shopping!
