I discovered Camilla Skovgaard label while searching my shoes for my sister's wedding. Yeah, I know, it's not the first time I'm talking about that, but it was a large part of my Spring 2009. She's my big sis I love. We live in different continents, and I'm lucky if I see her 10 days/ year. You guess how it was a very special event for us. I started looking my 'wedding outfits' 6 months before the due date. I wanted something unique. No way my shoes or my clutch could look like my cousins'.

"What I did is not fashion. It was designed to last forever" said the woman known as the architect of dressmakers. I attended Madeleine Vionnet, puriste de la mode, exhibit last week at The Musée des Arts Décoratifs (107 rue de Rivoli, Paris, Mo Palais Royal). Thrice I was in Paris in the last months, twice I couldn't attend the exhibit. You imagine how I was thrilled to eventually do it last week. The exhibit lasts until end of January 2010 and showcases more than 130 (fairy) dresses that Vionnet fabricated. I was stunned to figure out how modern the dresses are. They date back to the beginning of the century and they look like contemporary dresses. If you pay a visit, do not hesitate to take the guided tour to understand the era's context and get full explanation about Madeleine Vionnet's talent.
