Renewal

Good art looks new because the artist has recombined something old to make something better. (Darby Bannard)

Mami Jewell’s main store, Azul, was closed for for a few weeks in August while she rebuilt her store. Celebrating the reopening of her store with its new look, Mami applied this aphorism quite literally to her work. She has created 45 limited release gowns from her collection in special colors that will be available only during the month of September. This is Dailey, one of the new, limited release color gowns.

I love the gorgeous rosy-mauve coloring in this dress. It’s so lovely against my skin and when overlaid by the yards of black lace, it’s stunning. The asymmetrical bodice is so lovely and elevates the dress to a new level.

The skirt hugs the body to the knees when it explodes into layers upon layers of lace that lead to a short train in the back.

I wore Donna Flora’s Diana parure. Squinternet Larnia makes such fun and fabulous jewelry. The hair is from Lelutka, the Knotted updo.

The skin is from the Trinity series by Redgrave. The face and makeup in these series are so dramatic and elegant.
