This was a very fun shoot. She was great at making the linen cloth look like it does in Baroque statues. Obviously she is holding the drape with one hand here, but it makes for a very Athena-like pose.
Before they came alive on the catwalk, we went behind the scenes in the Dior atelier to see the spring/summer 2018 details and how the collection is made

To start off the new week, I thought I would share a few pieces that I've found which I think are quite inspirational. Of course, I dream of doing them all, but even if I just adopt one into a garment, then that's a good thing too :) I absolutely adore this skirt and how easy it would be to do. The skirt is just an a-line skirt with an added pleat, and of course a zipper. The pleated detail on this skirt is so pretty. I tried to find the website that this jacket came from, but no luck. This is just amazing! Here's another raglan sleeve with great seam details. The next time I make a raglan sleeved garment, I want to give this a try. What a fun peek-a-boo treatment. The neckline on this jacket is wonderful. Look closely, the princess line develops into a notched collar. Now for a little draping inspiration. Love how the drape folds into a pleat. From Haider Ackermann. Such a pretty back. Another interesting piece from Haider Ackermann. A subtle, but incredible pocket detail. Would be great color blocked. Another amazing pocket detail. I think I have to figure this one out! And finally, just because it is just-so-pretty. Isn't this the most incredible jacket?!!! I hope this has made for an awe inspiring start to the week! Happy Monday :) Rhonda
She's fidgeting here because the drape kept falling, but I like how wings are suggested by both her wrapped arms, and the excess bunches behind her. The folds look like scribbles...
