Have you ever asked yourself what attacks you to a colour? Me, always and every time it;s a different answer! Now I always liked Purple.
Not any kind of purple….. a dark deep, velvety purple…. and a touch of black….. I love purple and been always attracted to agate and amethyst. Purple Agate is one stone that I use on the regular in my designs. It calm the wearer, it hold on to good energy and creates a wonderful save environment for the one who wears it.
A reminder that I love Lavender, that I love creativity, luxury and royalty a colour that is a great representative for peace, dignity and mystery as well as magic, this is purple to me. It also represents the Crown Chakra ( head Chakra) it shows your connection to the universe and spiritual part in you. It;s your connection to creativity
How does purple make you feel? It makes me feel great. It makes me smile and creative. But how does black make you feel like?Elegant, classic, minimalist and timeless. This is how it makes me feel.
I also want to you check out the video below. Guo Pei a fantastic Haute Couture designer…. She is amazing. Almost all her designs remind me of Romanian Lace and this last collection was exceptional. The
Isn’t her style amazing? The inspiration of the dark ages architectural design is stunning. The structure is fantastic and is so detailed. We lace makers can easy get inspired and create stunning Romanian Point Lace.
Did a colour ever inspire you? If yes, comment below and let’s talk about!
I don’t know if it’s every girls dream to wear a handmade lace dress on the day they marry, but certainly this is a fantastic dress, even thou it’s not RPL, the designer Marie Grazia Chiuri did a stunning job! Also follow her on Instagram by clicking her name! You will love what you see!
What I love about is the simplicity and the elegance also the sass! Chiara Ferragni wears it right. What I like is the idea that this dress was inspired by the elegant design of Grace Kelly. Her wedding dress was a dream – Check it out!
Chiara looked absolutely stunning in a custom-made couture wedding gown by Dior. Her ensemble comprised a white lace romper and A-line tulle over skirt, which gave the illusion of a full-length gown. E voila the surprise! An easy to wear look after the ceremony. I guess when you are an IT -Girl and look like her why not! if you like to find out more about this gorgeous girl, read here
If I had to do my wedding again, I would definitely try something like that! Crochet lace is exquisite, delicate and something to pass on to the next generation.

Have you heard of DADA? Well yes, it;s a real WORD and yes you can find it in the Dictionary! DADA is famous in the world of ART in the world of FASHION….. It is a must in a cultural society.
What is DADA!
Dada was an art movement formed during the First World War in Zurich in negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war. The art, poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature. (Wikipedia)
DADA defines itself and creates itself in the fashion world….. DADA originated in Europe 1916 and never actually stopped if you ask me….From Originator Marchel DuChamp the DADA movement in the fashion industry had a hard time first and was shocking. Vivienne Westwood, was one of the first fashion designers who broke the boundaries and DADA was born or moved into the fashion industry. After that it was easy and more acceptable for designers like Galliano , Maison Martin Margiela or Victor & Rolf to push more and more!
You probably think that these pigiont shoes are just art or insane, well theses days everything is DADA and it will go further and further… because we humans need to break through the boundaries, not only for our self but for future generations….. there is no stop to DADA or creativity…. All is possible!
So enjoy a cup of coffee, and create some DADA.….
By the way when I broke into a traditional world of Romanian Point Lace where everything is beige, ecru or white my colourful pieces and not traditional concept and approach to this antique lace making technique, was a shocking fabulous adventure!
Most people did not understand and did not like the idea that something so old and perfect…. is not colourful, not for the table and more….. meaning a wearable piece, a concept to take to another level.
