Elizabeth Taylor circa 1950's
I find the glamour of the past very inspiring. Beautiful scene sirens like Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelley are the epitome of delicate femininity. Those ladies are my icons from a time when dressing up was a daily ritual and when gloves,red lips and perfectly coifed hair were the standard for going out.
Kentucky Derby Inspired Elegance
I love the continuing tradition that exists at the Kentucky Derby. The big hats, floral dresses, and of course gloves! There is something wonderful about the distinctive souther charm.
Dita Von Teese in all her vintage glamour.
Dita Von Teese represents a thoroughly modern take on the vintage woman. She uses gloves to make a statement and to add drama.
A look from the Ralph Lauren Runway/ Gwen Stefani at the MTV VMA's
These looks represent a more edgy fashion forward approach to wrist length sheer gloves. A pop of color and a dash of drama.
My design concept for lace bridal gloves comes from all of these references. I hope every bride that incorporates them into her big day feels a connection to the inspiration behind the product.
