Paisley Diaries: July 2013

Friday, July 26, 2013. WHO WORE IT BETTER? Above: Madame Riviere, 1805-6 by Inges. Below: Madame de Stael by Gerard. The reading of Paula Byrne's The Real Jane Austen. Brought me to finally pick up Madame de Staël. By Francine du Plessix Gray. It appears that Austen passed up meeting Madame S at one of her publisher's Mayfair salons in 1812. Possibly the Force of Nature that was Madame S might not have been Austen's cup of tea. Austen, with her fine shawl shown in a previous blog? But who wore it better?

Paisley Diaries: June 2013

Friday, June 21, 2013. Above: Corner of Ralph Lauren shawl. Below: Heraldic-like paisley at the center. This Ralph Lauren shawl from c. 1986 is an excellent example of Paisley as a Royal Symbol. The large center motif is shown as almost a heraldic coat of arms with the paisley forming several outer frames. Of course, when the Mughal King Akbar set out to establish shawl production in mid 16th century Kashmir, the intended target customer was the royal male. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, February 7, 2015. IS THIS THE WORK OF KIM JONES? EDITORIAL PAISLEY FROM T MAGAZINE. No go After many, many tries at the mother ship, I called Paris LV. When I told them what I wanted, I was disconnected. The shirt in question featured a brilliant fabric design, bringing bandana-inspiration to a new level of sophistication and worth every bit of the $815 listed as the retail price. And if it is the work of Mr. Jones, someone please give him my congratulations. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Thursday, October 9, 2014. Giant 1970s paisley grouping from the book, Pantone: The 20th Century in Color. Pantone, the New Jersey company that standardized color production and gives the world seasonal charts of what colors are trending in manufacturing, produced an interesting book, Pantone: The 20th Century in Color. 8213; and paisley is treated as part of the 1970s. It is also interesting that blue-greens have been on the fashion Pantone charts for a few seasons now. JP. Enter your email address:.

Sunday, August 24, 2014. THE AMERICAN ART OF PAISLEY. T iles in The. 1995, The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Lift-out from the American rug.
