Ivan Grundahl

He is definitely one of my inspirations! I only like his later years 2010 through now. His new summer 13 collection is a gorgeous concoction of linen, silhouettes and color. He's works in neutrals most of the time so this is a new thing for him... The above is a typical Grundahl look, and below the new 13 collection. Perdy!

From the earth and the sea...


Linen

Georgina Shirt
The linen I work with is so beautiful. This shirt is in a lightweight 3.5oz and a gorgeous width so we can make the dresses all in one big piece! Fun fun! Of course the edges are left raw however we finish inside and stitch where necessary so the whole garment doesn't unravel. The neutrals in the linen pieces work perfectly with the brights in the voile and Prairie dresses. Mixing, layering, add some strands of Victorian love and whalah... we have a look! See the site, we've updated and adding all of the time. Long linen jackets and a full frilly slip in black linen were completed today for an upcoming meeting in NY!!! Wish me luck!
