Coup de coeur

And now, for inspiration and to please your eyes, here's my new "coup de coeur": I have discovered a new brand from Italy, Tricot Chic, and I'm in loooove....
And look! they used Liberty ribbons and trims in their beautiful (and sexy!) clothes this summer and even, for their jewelry! ... "Liberty Revival", remember?

The Liberty Revival

Something else that I found shopping around and reading fashion magazines during my holidays in France was that, this Spring, there was a real Liberty Revival in Europe!... to be more precise, when I say "Liberty", I am not talking about "Freedom" but about the classic "Liberty of London Cotton Lawns" fabrics that usually feature multitudes of little flowers and that are an old-time favorite for mums and grandmas when sewing pretty dresses to their well-mannered daughters and grand-daughters ... (I'm sure I have a picture of myself somewhere wearing a Liberty dress when I was 6 or 7 years old!)



Shopping for supplies at Aniline, I couldn't leave the shop without a few meters of Liberty ribbons, they were so fresh and colorful... I still haven't decided what I am going to do with my ribbons but so far, I can tell you that there will be some Liberty bows in my Olala design Fall 2009 collection : )


Mmm, can't wait for the Fall!...
