In 2009 Luly designed a collection inspired by the masterpieces of Michelangelo, entitled The Creation. I happened to run across some of the creative text that poetically describes each individual set from the show and I thought the language was beautiful and romantic. Here is part of the text for the set inspired by the Pieta; the statue that stands at the base of Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City.
Imagine the beginning, a concept turned creation.
Beauty and devotion are veiled,
In gentle drapes of lavender hues.
Polished cascades of silken fabric,
Define her femininity.
Garments for this year’s couture offerings were comprised of everything from free-flowing, stollaesque drapery to more structured, feminine draping. Complete with delicate ruffles and gathers of silk wool, organza and taffetas in everything from soft pinks, lavenders and muted eggplants to more dramatic chartreuses, aquamarines and a rather unique terracotta –colors all visually as stunning as the view from a Tuscan villa. - subterfugeseattle.com, 2009.
timeless elegance.
