A Luxurious Label
For many years, I used an atelier to make me beautiful clothes with whom I developed an amazing bond. She understood me, knew my likes and dislikes, was creative and could bring my designs to life, since I have aptitude for the designing of clothes, but not for the sewing of them. Imagine my horror when she moved, first to Sydney, which we could manage, and then to Berlin! Even the deepest pockets couldn’t justify the price of flying to Berlin for multiple consultations and fittings! I never thought I would find another, that is until I was introduced to Kathryn, who altered an evening dress for the daughter of a friend of mine and made a silk purse from a sow’s ear. After meeting Kathryn I found her to be the perfect new atelier for me. She is friendly, an excellent sewer, consultative and very willing to try new ideas, be dynamic and work with some tough fabrics! What more could I ask for from an atelier?
The theme for “Looking Close on Friday” for the 4th of February is “clothing labels”. This label from my atelier, Kathryn Ellard, seemed the perfect choice. Sewn inside a jacket I had made for a wedding three years ago, the label is luxurious and features a nice vignette of Art Nouveau swirls, which for anyone who follows me will know is perfect, as I love Art Nouveau design. I hope you like my choice for the theme, and that it makes you smile.
