Our latest autumn collection was inspired by a recent exhibition at the Frick Collection in New York displaying fashion plates from the 1800s, and then reinforced by a trip to Paris. Antique markets, old haberdashery stores, ribbons and trims at Ultramodern, the Palais Garnier, and so much more conjured the magic of Whims of Versailles.
Some pieces are sculptural and wonderfully over-the-top. Others are tiny, simple line drawings meant to feel like little illustrations pulled from an old fashion plate.
Basically: French court finery, autumn curiosities, and a healthy amount of beautiful excess.
Made for anyone who also thinks an ordinary hairdo could probably use a miniature frigate.
