A few months ago, I met a really fab fashion designer. Her name is Coral Turner and we spent hours talking about everything French, and a few minutes about Fashion and jewellery of course. She provide an exclusive service and wonderul pieces made with jersey fabric featuring her prints.
As I am also a fashion illustrator, we toyed with the idea of a collaboration.
Tonight, while attending a business meeting, What a surprise !
One of the guests turned out to be no other than Coral.
This time, in addition to have a wee chat about France, she perused one of my sketch books and we may get a little project together...
In the meantime I am posting my favourite pieces from her latest collections.
These collections bear daring names such as Glamour and Prohibition.
As you will see, the style is daring, sexy, colourful and comfortable.
I selected the Cat woman top, featuring animal print - bang on trend and ideal for every day. I love the mad sleeves and the beige tone that goes with every thing from jeans to short leather skirt with high boots for a Barbarella look.
And for the evening, I would love to make an entrance wearing the stylishly vibrant Xanadu dress. Sue to be a talking point ...the dress, not me... mind you.
Wonderful warm colours, a mix of flower power Austin Powers meet Eartha Kitt. Long slender line to make my legs look even longer. Just what I need.
