My wife had to do some cosmetics shopping at Nordstrom at Scottsdale Fashion Square. They plopped me down on a stool by the Yves Saint Laurent counter. I was fascinated by the lipstick. I have no idea what these cost. I have no clue how many colors there are.
The MetroDolls club regularly organizes doll themed luncheons to raise funds for charity. The theme for our 2013 event was "Style Evolution," celebrating iconic fashions and designers of the 20th century. We had doll versions of 4 definitive fashions made. The event committee asked me to do illustrations and flats of 3 of the fashions to help communicate the design and construction to the seamstresses. The resulting fashions are still for sale at the MetroDolls website in limited quantities.
This outfit is inspired by Coco Chanel.

Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.
