it's a cinch, or story of a belt

i kinda like it when an accessory is used throughout

an editorial. like this silver leather belt. all the better

if it also disappears now and then.

i like the idea _ contrast piping

contrast piping can be so nice when done right.

i like the delicacy and restraint of these ones.

a paszpólozás nagyon szép is tud lenni, ha jól csinálja az ember.

ezek azért tetszenek, mert nagyon finomak, visszafogottak,

mintha csak rajzolva lennének.

this chanel dress has been a favorite of mine.

that embroidered tree is exquisite. it's a wonder.

i'm sure it's made by lesage.

all images from the alta moda (couture) supplement of

vogue italia september 1997.

models audrey marnay plus an other girl whom i don't know.

photos by satoshi saikusa.

scanned by me.

some of the images are cropped.

i think a little disclaimer is also needed here:

i'm well aware that these girls are overly frail.

i just want to let you know that i couldn't be further

from advocating skinniness or starving your body.

the sole reason for my sharing these is

that i personally find them inspiring (visually and designwise).

please look at them as fairies.
