Lanvin Resort 2013

June 10, 2012 in Fashion Illustration, PvdH Fashion Show Reviews

Lanvin Resort 2013. Masterfully draped (with a taste of Miami funk).

Boy am I loving the resort collections thus far. The leather tailoring at Balenciaga, the easy elegance of The Row, the textures at Proenza Schouler… ah, perfection.

El Pajarito de la Suerte #Video. The ‘fortuneteller birdie’ is no more and no less than a canary with an uncanny ability to pick your fortune (and do a few party-tricks in between!).

It is just one of those things that you have to see for yourself. #Video

(Talking) Sundresses

June 7, 2012 in PvdH Designs, PvdH's #todayimwearing


(Talking) Sundresses. So I am (really) not one to prance around on a daily basis in a sundress (too girly), but then there are those times… Shall we dub them spring flings? (Lady’s lunches, baptisms, first communions…) And then all I crave is the girly-girliness of a sundress.

But if I am to go all girly-girl, it better be in a (very well) fitted dress of a luscious fabric. And so when I came across this silk brocade, it essentially screamed at me “make me into an (asymmetrical) sundress!”. Oh, and it sure does help that it is the perfect match for my Charlotte Olympia pretty ladies.

(PvdH) Dyes. So I may be abusing ‘the pencil skirt’ a bit as of late, but with the recent bout of heat it is too perfect for dressing up a bit more. My experimentation with hand-dyeing silk continues and I hope to be able to show you soon enough some more elaborate pieces.
