I adore Irish designer Sharon Wauchob. That woman has an incredible way with texture. Keeping colours simple and muted she chooses to work the tactile quality of fabrics to create drama and impact. I love that she has a freeness about her work - nothing is too tailored.
Her SS09 collection is no exception. Using sheer, light as air fabrics to create edgy yet ethereal looks.
Maybe it's my renewed love of sheer materials but I am this afternoon heading back to the fabric store to buy some more organza, and possibly some lace, to see if I can create some of my own sheer magic.
The mix of gauzy silk, lace and metallics all draped and loosely ruched would be like having clouds gently wrap around your body. Really, who wouldn't like to be wrapped in fluffy clouds?
