// That special shade of blue

Posted on | March 23, 2011 | No Comments

I think that my sense of romantic goes very well in line with Barbara Munsel’s. Her designs are very, very delicate but somehow never too sweet. The frills are arranged haphazardly. The shapes are simple. The colors are amazing from delightful neutrals to that special fairy godmother blue. And the prints… …often the perfect dissonant note, aggressive colors and / or black and white prints with slightly scientific feel. How perfect would that asymmetric tulle skirt be for next summer?

I know that some day I will see these in real life — and like them even more. I just noticed that they are available at Designer Market — what a great site for Belgian and Netherlandic indie fashion shopping!

// Soon my arms will be wings…

Posted on | February 7, 2010 | 6 Comments

Barbara Munsel is doing some awesome things with feathers and ombre colors this spring.

I especially love the tiny feather sleeves, they make me think that H.C. Andersen story about girl and her brothers — the brothers were turned to swans by evil magic, the girl had to knit magical jackets to them to free them from the spell. She had to keep silent the whole time… …she was accused of witchcraft and brought to be burned alive… ..she knitted and knitted… …only the last sleeve of all jackets was unfinished when she threw the jackets on the birds, so the youngest brother had a wing instead of the arm.

I’m churning out the posts here in uncontrolled pace, but my inspiration folder is bursting…
