//// Rock me, Michelangelo
Posted on | September 24, 2009 | 9 Comments
Back to the wardrobe plan! For a long time now I have been wanting to add something special to my wardrobe from AttilaDesign. I’ve had so many favorites from Tiinas designs, but the light cotton convertible Sybil dress won me over completely. The print of the dress is from Sistine Chapel Michelangelo painting — and it totally reminds me about places I still haven’t been visiting, but I should.
The material is super soft and light cotton, great for summer but works fine for layering and thus for all other seasons. The hem can be gathered symmetrically or asymmetrically — or left longer and straight so the piece works as a dress, mini dress and a tunic over the pants. The waist can be tied in two different ways. The details and the finishing of this piece are excellent and faded pastel colors make it extremely easy to combine. The print is on both back and front. It’s quirky and fun — and extremely beautiful at the same time. I’m more than happy with it!
Here I’m wearing the dress with old H&M (?) striped shirt, ripped nylons and nylon socks, Vagabond broques. For going out I threw on a black coat from Victor & Rolf for H&M.
BTW, a weak inspiration for the outfit is this film — do you recognize it?

The dress itself is amazing! I had no idea Attila Design (which I’ve adored) is a work of a fellow Finn! And your styling takes it to another level, I need to get some lessons from you!

Nice dress!

I’ve been dreaming of the Attila Design apple tree bed ever since someone blogged about it, although I didn’t know it was made by Attila Design and that the designer was Finnish.… surprises!

Upea mekko — ja olet “käsitellyt” sitä tosi inspiroivasti! Ihanaa! Pidän erityisesti stailauksessasi tuosta sukat + sukkahousut –yhdistelmästä! Saako idean ryöstää omaankin käyttöön?
Attila on tosiaan paras. Miten monta Etsy-suosikkia mulla onkaan ko. merkiltä — jostain itselleni tuntemattomasta (tai no, rahanpuute varmaan!) syystä en vielä ole saanut tilattua mitään. Puute pitää korjata niin pian kuin mahdollista! Tällä hetkellä haaveilen eniten “viitasta” nahkareunuksin ja soljin.

Tomorrow, thanks!
Sugar Kane, don’t really know what to say, but thanks!
May, Apple tree bed is gorgeous — I wish I had a spacious bedroom to go with it! The butcher and butterfly tables are great, too.
Anna, kiitos, kiitos! Totta kai ideaa saa käyttää, lainattu se on tännekin (tosin en ole enää ihan varma mistä, muistelin että Barbara i Gonjini oli stailannut lookbookiin samalla tyylillä, mutta siellä olikin vain rikottuja sukkia tai sukkahousuja, ei molempia yhdessä). Tykkään kyllä yhdistelmästä, käytin sitä seuraavanakin päivänä ihan toisenlaisessa asussa. Rikotut kerrokset alleviivaavat tarkoituksellisuutta.
Voin kyllä lämpimästi suositella Tiinan luomuksia, työn jälki ja materiaalit ovat ensiluokkaisia — puhumattakaan siitä, että sama vaatekappale ei heti kävele vastaan!

I’m lucky enough to have gotten this Attila Design dress too. I love how you punk rocked it up. I’ve layered mine over a grey tank top and some wide legged olive green pants. Gorgeous! Check out my blog soon for an exclusive interview with Tiina of Attila Design!

Tiina is pure genius. And you look awesome!
