Cooked chicken, pizza sauce & shredded mozzarella cheese, spread on a wrap, rolled up, and baked on a pizza stone at 450 for 10 minutes. The come out melty on the inside and crunchy on the outside.
I used spinach wraps today, but other varieties work just as well. I also sometimes substitute salsa and pepper jack cheese.
Part of Azzedine Alaïa: The Couturier
(May to October 2018)
Azzedine Alaïa’s innovations in stretch fabrics were at least as important as his elevation of leather. In his hands, these transformed the silhouette of the wearer.
Rather than creating clothes anchored at strategic points – conventionally, the waist and the shoulders – Alaïa’s bandage dresses cling to the wearer’s form, conscious of the entire body. The stretch fabric allows these minimal silhouettes to move freely.
Debuted in 1986, these variations on the ‘Bandelette’ (bandage) dress are clearly inspired by ancient Egyptian mummification, but also perhaps by the swaddling of infants. The garments join Western and Eastern traditions – highly fitted and precision-cut, with a body simply and sensually wrapped in cloth.
The dresses seem simple, but each band of fabric is precisely engineered and cut to specific dimensions, according to its place on the figure. These creations ushered in the notion of physique-delineating ‘bodycon’ dressing, the defining aesthetic of the early 1990s.
Conceived and co-curated with Monsieur Alaïa before his death in November 2017, the exhibition charts his incredible journey from sculptor to couturier, his nonconformist nature and his infectious energy for fashion, friendship and the female body.
Unlike many of his contemporaries, Alaïa personally constructed each garment by hand and refused to bow to the pressures of fashion week deadlines, instead working to his own schedule. His collaborative approach earned him an esteemed client list, including Greta Garbo, Grace Jones, Michelle Obama and Rihanna.
Rather than a retrospective, the show interlaces stories of his life and career alongside personally selected garments, ranging from the rare to the iconic and spanning the early 1980s to his most recent collection in 2017.

This was supposed to made using bubble wrap to trap various bits and pieces. I tried that and did not like it, so I used bubble wrap as a stamp!
I used the formula from Home Grown to determine the size of my skirt panel pattern. A miscalculation when buying my gray linen necessitated the addition of the Amy Butler Lotus. *grin* I like it!
I added two button holes, both about an inch away from the middle panel seam on either side, because I couldn't decide if I liked a peek of Lotus or a full-on Lotus invasion when wrapped. Then I covered them up with belt loops because I didn't like how the skirt fit when using the buttonholes.
The ties are the same length for both the left and right sides (each 2 inches longer than the length of my skirt) and they wrap around twice and tie in front like a chef's apron.
After trying the apron on a million times, I've decided I like the peek of Lotus best. It's a comfortable skirt and I love that it's custom for me!

This is my "finished" wrap jacket. The pattern is from the book Knit by Janine Flew. I'm still deciding if I truly love this or not. I intended to finish it by the end of March, but obviously failed to do so. Project Spectrum people, there's green in the background. :)
Me, in the horrible lighting in my bedroom, with Roisin in the wrap for the first time. You can’t tell, but the wrap is pink and yellow, and really pretty.
