A bit of a lazy post, but with exams coming up tomorrow and the day after, I'll just share a bit of what I'm researching for upcoming projects. I recently had a Lanvin binge and don't think I'll be coming off of it anytime soon. I'm a little tired of trends, what's hot and not, what the editorials say is beautiful. It's back to the basic and classic. I'm a little bit obsessed with grosgrain ribbon and its potential . . .
"Grosgrain (pronounced/' grəʊgreɪn/) is a closely woven fabric which has fine horizontal ribs . . . As a more subtle choice than satin, grosgrain is very popular with eveningwear, being used on the lapels of most dress coats and high-end dinner jackets, as well as matching accessories such as bow ties and cummerbunds, though these are often in barathea to complement the main suiting while still avoiding the glare of satin . . .
