Valentino Couture S/S 12

Valentino's couture S/S 12 collection is beautiful, this stunning lace blouse above is particularly striking. It's crisp white colour and  sparkly embellishment reminds me of a children's book which contained some beautiful illustrations of a 'snowy day fairy.' 
This blouse also reminds me of a piece of design work I completed a few years ago now but is still one of my favourites. I designed and created a mirror based on jewellery. It was during winter so a lot of inspiration also came from Christmas decorations and embellished dresses which were particularly popular around the Christmas party season.

I placed hand embellished pieces of white fabric over a pear- shaped glass droplet.
