It came from an old art studio, s » READ MORE

Brocades for 2007
By shimmyhopThe big thing in Fashion for spring of 2007 is Brocades. With the release of Marie Antoinette (The visually beautiful movie created by Oscar winning director Sophia Coppola), the fashion world is abuzz with images of brocades and golden gilded ... well... everything.
I recently happened upon this (although Restoration Hardware announced it's creation awhile back) and thought people may be interested. It's only a matter of time before fashion spil » READ MORE
