yesterday...after a conference call and a few hours of making stuff,
the BV girls headed out in Jane's Subaru, in another rain storm...
at 1:30 we arrived at the home of Alexis M. , of Made by Lex,
to work on styling for the upcoming fashion show ( tba )
by 1:35 we all had our original outfits off and were busy accessorizing an array of lovely, half finished gowns that Alexis has made from scratch and by re-arranging several thrift store finds.
amidst the billowing 1950's nighties and linen boy shorts, we adjusted and rummaged and tried on outfits. we rifled through our trunk of jewelry. we mixed lace with chains, bare shoulders with leather, and deep necklines with high collars ala 16th century via 1980's - Prince.
in Alexis's tidy, artistic studio....we plotted. we laughed. we pinned. we spent an exhilarating afternoon talking about Valentino, MC Queen, and Ricci. we discussed fabric and color, our obsessions and inventions.....
all the while Alexis's three, beautiful girls sat quietly and read to eachother or napped.
we left feeling so lucky. and so happy to be a part of an ever growing circle of talented, wonderful friends.
stay tuned as the adventures continue.......
