Texture




Meringue. Crunchy on the outside. Marshmallowy on the inside. Crumbling into sweetness. Pillowy and sweet on the lips. Offered on a gold leaf plate by masters, Karl Lagerfeld at Chanel, Oscar De La Renta and Carolina Herrera.
The incredible embellishments and treatments applied to the surface of these fabrics suggest something more than merely threads. These are given three dimensional presence when worn, considerably exotic in gilded tones.
In comparison to many of the minimal trends sweeping over the fashion world, this is a refreshing reminder that there is every so often, a time when we must stop and appreciate the gift that fashion can be. It has the potential to be incredibly creative, bringing sheer joy to the people around to enjoy it.
Crumbling at the surface, soft and sweet on the inside.
Forgive me if I seem a little pre-occupied by food. Christmas is only moments around the corner, and I have all kinds of little sweets on the brain. Honey ginger breads a plenty, rum balls over flowing, truly scrumptious, truly, truly scrumptious.
