Fall 2010: Inspiration - King Constantine's Horse Bridal

      
 


From the Zaharoff Holiday 2010 Collection, the "King Constantine" jacket (right) .  This jacket was designed for Holiday 2010 - I was thinking about a New Year's Eve party.  And to show you how designers think alike, Louis Vuitton also showed the same fabric in their men's collection (left)  - it was crazy when I saw this because the fabric is very particular.  What are the odds we would both use the same fabric in our collections?  All the fashion houses go to the same mills for their collections, this one being Moessmer.

From the Louis Vuitton F2010 Collection (below left, Vogue Hommes) and close up of the jacket from Zaharoff F2010 Collection (below, right).

                           


Would this inspire you?
  It's a horse bridal King Constantine used in the Byzantine Era....do you see the similarities between the above and below?  It just feels right -

                                                  



The above inspired me, the moment I saw these 1 inch x 1 inch little swatches....one has to be able to have the vision to see it made up.   The moment I saw this fabric, from Italian mill Moessmer, I knew it was perfect to include in the Zaharoff Fall 2010 Collection (below, in gold, black, copper).

               


From inspiration to catwalk, straight to the store.  This piece is simply gorgeous and I wanted to share this with you.  I was inspired by a trip to Istanbul.  King Constantine had a horse bridal and I that is where I went for this particular item.  Actually this has been an inspiration for me in designs of seasons past.  The "Constantine" design I did in neck wear many years ago I've included as well.

Here's the design, taken from a Zaharoff cummerbund "Constantine" design:

                                                                               

Thank you for letting me share this with you!
