~* Bohemian Princess Rose Cradle *~

This one is pure girly stuff... My darling friend Oona Elena Kassila flew all the way from Barcelona to Helsinki for the last fitting of the Bohemian Princess Rose Cradle Dress I had requested her to design for me. The following day the dress flew to London to attend the London Fashion Week... AND got photographed by Vogue, among other adventures... Dear readers, welcome to the making of my most beautiful dress, ever: * * Mmmmmmm.... Some refreshments were required and shall I say earned, with all those sleepless nights spent while making this dress divine... Oona worked on the dress for 80 hours, before she stopped counting... Every single silver chain, each pearl, every bit of vintage lace is personally sourced and chosen with love and care, then the dress itself... Handmade in Heaven. Oona's artwork. She rocks my world and you can see why. * * I can not tell you how much it means to me, how fortunate I feel,  to have been involved in such creative and artistic process - not to mention how much fun we had - but maybe these photos tell their story more poignantly than I could.. * Details details... This dress is filled with secret details all around. * Luxury dupino silk, French velvet in brocade as the slip... Too beautiful and absolutely unique. If you're into treasures and wonder, Oona's clothing and her partner Mo's jewellery can be found at Moonalia etsy shop. ** * Life. It can't possibly get more Rita Hayworthesque than this... And.... Swoooooooooooooooosh! All photos by the one and only, Pipsa Lagus ♥. ~*♥*~
