Last week I posted about my current portfolio work in progress and talked briefly about what was inspiring me, but I wanted to elaborate on it. I have always loved the work of Charles James, he was without a doubt the American Dior. From his construction to the sheer manipulation of shape, everything about his work is beautiful and astounding. The gown featured above, is called the swan and comes from the same collection as the butterfly gown previously posted. Great example of shape and fabric manipulation. There are a few pieces specifically that have inspired my current collection.
All of the pieces above inspire me for different reasons and I often times can't put into words why exactly, but its like something inside is stirred. I know that sounds pretentious and perhaps a little cliche but I don't know how else to explain it.
