METAMORPHOSIS - designers united 19 - one week only

vendor ad

creating this dress was truly a metamorphosis.

it started as a man's white suit... then an evening gown, with a small butterfly broach...
that broach became a mini skirt option, then around that option i made a new bodice, and then a new top, sleeves and from one little gold butterfly this whole new dress emerged.

a fun and creative experiment.

here are a few other shots:

Designers United Four

Nil and Lu have done a fabulous job coordinating the Designers United events and I'M SO HAPPY i finally had time to join one! our theme was "narcissus" either the flower or the myth...

i was taken by the various versions of the story of Narcissus, someone so beautiful all he could do was stare at himself... he missed out on life and love, being the sole focus of his attention. for me it is a timeless story and though we may not all stare in a still pool admiring ourselves, often we are the sole focus in our worlds and limit the possibilities that surround us.

i tried to capture reflection, transparency, water and the flower into my design... in the end i had 3 designs that to me captured the story; Echo's Song (the girl who loved him), Narkissos, (his name in greek) and Mirror Mirror.

i'll say no more and let you interpret the story through the designs, if you wish. the items will be available in this version only for the duration of the event. (each dress comes with the jewelry and accessories shown) * to find these when you tp go RIGHT and go FAR down the winding path and i'll be on the left corner when you get to the end near some AMAZING designers, Lu and Nil are there too!
