Mathematics has never been my favourite subject, but it doesn't mean that I have to dislike geometry. My fondness for this print is encouraged by the fact that heavy winter textiles allow you to go a little bold. The design of the coat was spurred on by the fact that the particular fabric was intended for upholstery, and not for garments. Much to the horror of Belle Epoque's principal designer, she succumbed to my request, and skilfully created this beautifully constructed over sized coat, giving it an edge with plain Black cuffs, in the softest faux suede imaginable. If you have the ability to assemble your own clothes, don't shy away from curtaining or upholstery material for winter, as the sheer weight of the heavier cloth gives architectural structure to winter coats. Be a little daring by adding a third colour and don't let the cold deprive you entirely of summer's joyful kaleidoscope. How do you wear geometric print?

Fabulous! You look great! I make my clothes and really don't care that much about the fabric as far as the original purpose of the material goes. I have green velvet pants from upholstery fabric and nobody would guess that.
ReplyDeleteThank you Martina, unusual fabric makes for great fun in designing your own clothes! You always look fabulous! Would love the see the velvet upholstery pants!

I believe she did a fantastic job and I am glad she pleased you for what you had in mind. This is a very elegant piece and I agree, colder weather require thicker fabrics. You look very elegant as usual.
