Dream State

I love beautiful paintings, clothes, pastries, teas, make-up, films, books, decorations...whatever...all of it. So what would it be like if they all went together? If I took a painting and thought of the all the things I love that went with it. What gorgeous outfit would I wear to see the painting? What would I eat afterwards? What would I put in my living room to remind of of it later? That's what this is. A confluence of lovely things as informed by a piece of fine art.

Las Meninas - The Dress





Well, I think this is pretty spot on!  The cinching at the waist, the flowers in the hair, the shape of the skirt, the flower on the belt matching the flower on the bodice, the way the pink of the dress spilling beyond the waist is just like the pleat below the Infanta's waist! ...if Marc Jacobs wasn't looking at Las Meninas for this collection...well I don't know.  This dress from his Spring 2011 collection has a definite Spanish feel.  I think Balenciaga would have loved it.  It's perfect to go running around Madrid in.  It would look fabulous in the Spanish sun, the colors are perfect for the city, it would look great at the Prado.  It's incredible how those two dresses look alike.  The Infanta would have loved it.  I love it!
