Overview
Items relating to the creation, marketing and distribution/sale of the fashion collection. The following text is drawn from items in the file: The Laurie Foon Winter 07 collection draws inspiration from the 1975 documentary film Grey Gardens, about two outcast socialites; Edith Bouvier and her daughter Edie. Their eccentric lives, filled with daily theatrics and flamboyance is the essence behind this collection of boundary pushing classics. Drama is created with oversized billowing silhouettes that are tamed with wrapping ties and clinching belts. Softer lines of draping cowls and tulip puffs are strengthened by styles with more structure. Texture is created by ruching and stitching details. Subtle herringbone and pinstripes masculinise ultra-feminine forms of gathered skirts and full length frocks. Duller tones of grey and black are highlighted with bursts of cream and punches of burnt orange and scarlet red. Fabrics of shimmering satin and silk add luxury to this dramatic collection of decaying decadence and haunting beauty.
The fashion collection includes: Beale Top, Performance Pant, Ritual Wrap Top and Dress, Cat Got Out Silk Jacket, Little Edie Tie Dress and Skirt, Bouvier Top, True Talent Jacket and Trouser, No Ladies Here Silk Jacket and Cowl Top, Tea For Two Jacket and Cowl Top, East Hampton House Coat and Pant, Fascination Frock, Misunderstood Wrap Dress, Self-expression Shift, Past And Present Pant, Paper Bird Top, Outclassed Coat, Mothers Little Girl Dress and Cardi, Big Edie Blouse, Fallen From Grace Gown.
