Love "Little Animals". Great colourway.
I had the great pleasure of meeting CB once, years ago, and found her personality to be as effervescent as her patterns. She is a national treasure, no?
I agree, the 'little animals' in that chartreuse green colourway is magic.
Once sat next to David Hockney at a special LA Philharmonic performance... he snored throughout the performance... lol
Little Animals.
Big Desire.
It makes my day worth while when I can wake up in the morning and read the word 'effervescent'. It means civilised conversation is still out there - it may be hanging on by its beautifully manicured fingernails - but it's still out there, and to have met Celia as well!! I think I'll go and have a lie down now, it's all too much.
PD - the collection has the loveliest clear colourways.
FF - too funny. I once did that on a first date, oh the shame. Note, never see La Strada on a date - it will end in shame.
VA and PT&E - be sure to have a look at her site, the Couture Collection is fabulous.
JH - welcome to the natural wonder that is An Aesthete's Lament - there is none more fascinating or knowledgeable.
AL - CB is far too overlooked and the last of her kind. Though, with her new work in fashion she is reaching a new generation and a wider audience. Hopefully they will absorb some of her aesthetic if nothing else.
