A DRESS WORN BY CATHERINE DENEUVE IN 1962 IS THE ORIGINE OF SOME DRESSES

In 2019 it was Emilia Wickstead who took inspiration from the dress with a large bow on the neckline worn by Catherine Deneuve in 1962, making it a yellow silk version. http://www.scostumista.com/2018/10/the-origin-of-dress-with-bow.html

This year also Maria Grazia Chiuri for Christian Dior S / S 2022 collection elaborates an orange georgette silk version of the same dress.

THE ORIGIN OF A DRESS WITH BOW

For her spring / summer 2019 collection, Emilia Wickstead takes inspiration from a 1962 dress worn by Catherine Deneuve and makes it in yellow satin.

It's not so hard to design a dress when you have just to change the color, but apparently everything has already been done.

FLAMENCO INSPIRING DRESS

The traje de flamenca (flamenco dress) usually is trimmed with layers of ruffles on both the skirt and sleeves. The dress is typically brightly colored, usually in black, red or and may be either plain or patterned, with the most famous being the polka dotted traje de lunares. They come in a variety of colors, plain or patterned, with short or long sleeves, and more or fewer ruffles. This folkloric outfit has inspired numerous fashion designers, among them Victorio & Lucchino, who have their own line of trajes de flamenca. Others who have been influenced include Yves Saint Laurent, John Galliano, Valentino Garavani, and Tom Ford.

IT'S NOT JUST A SHIRT

Pearl gray, organza, lace and ruffles, what else is for a woman to even soften between crochet and lace, in a long heartbeat, in a tender trepidation. There is no detail that escapes even impalpable evanescence of fashion as a state of wonder, thoughtful narration of spiritual complacency. It's not just a shirt.

Grigio perla, organza, merletto e rouches, cos'altro serve a una donna per intenerirsi ancora tra trine e merletti, in un lungo palpito, in una tenera trepidazione. Non c'è particolare che sfugga pur nell'evanescenza impalpabile della moda come stato di meraviglia, di narrazione assorta, di compiacenza spirituale. Non è solo una camicia.
