Mambo No. 5
July 30, 2012 in PvdH Designs, PvdH's #todayimwearing
Mambo No. 5. (Totally!) inspired by the colours of Mexico (remember?!), this silk shantung skirt was a tonne of fun to make from start to finish.
From the colourful silk-dying, to the (rather careful) assembly of the pieces (the stripes had to align, you see), to photographing it. It is one of those pieces which makes me smile every time I wear it.
wearing: PvdH (aka DIY) hand-painted silk shantung skirt, Louboutin electric blue heels, Cooee transparent bracelets, Gap tank
I am obsessed with this skirt! And paired with those shooooooes! You look so beautiful!
You’re stunning!
Pao, me encantó este diseño! Te ves muy guapa en esa falda
mil gracias Ale!
Absolutely amazing! xx
I die!!! This skirt is amazing! And the photos- luv luv luv the style!
You made that?! Good grief, I know I shouldn’t be surprised, but god, is it stunning! Reminds me of a Christopher Kane piece I’ve seen (wanted desperately) online. Fabulous shoes to pair it with.
Thank you Emily! Yes, from the dyeing (+3 hours of steaming the fabric), to the sewing!

Did you the skirt? I love it!

Yes! From the dyeing of the fabric (to the 3-hours of steaming), to the patter-cutting, to the fabric.
Such a cool skirt!

These pictures of you are stunning! I must say, I’ve noticed that since you moved back to Mexico, all your photos are much more vibrant. It’s been a fun change to witness
The skirt is pretty amazing, I can’t believe it’s a DIY. Very beautiful!

Oh Paola, I think this is one of my favorite designs of yours! It is fun, sexy, and you simply just look so beautiful in the photographs! I love their ‘simplicity’.
I love it, Paola! You’re so creative!
Paola, what can I say? Stunning, fabulous, gorgeous, beautiful…all that old and well-known adjectives are just boring when it comes to your posts! I wish I could invent something more special and original… I’d just say that you’re a very talented & beautiful young lady
