you've all been very kind, but seriously the credit goes to Mother Nature - all I did was sew 7 metres of undyed silk into a dress bundle it around a pocketful of windfallen leaves and sling it into a cauldron she did the rest!
Gorgeous ! This reminds me of Hussein Chalayan. For his graduation collection at St Martins in 1993, he buried silk clothes in the earth to see how they would decompose.
Such a romantic costume; absolutely beautiful. I've just had a day off and spent it reading my new copy of your eco-print book, which is totally inspirational. Thankyou so very much! Julie
I've just been watching a BBC version of Jane Austen's Mansfield Park. This photo fits in well with the era.
