Papillion 2010

- It's all about sophistication

 

Inspiration comes from anywhere… any time…

This one comes from a dear old lady saying “Wow, that is pure sophistication!”

I was in Triberg, Germany, having just purchased a fabulous piece of cloth, and while waiting for the driver to take us to the next shopping location, I had a brief conversation with a very kind French lady.  She must have been around 90 years young, and the way she touched the fabric was as if she was blind… but she was not!

I looked up from a design I was sketching when she referred to the image.  “My dear child, just now there was nothing, and suddenly there is something SO beautiful?”

“Papillion!”, she gasped.

“Papillion?” I asked, not knowing what it was.

“Like change, my child, like from a worm, an ugly worm” she said, “… and when you look again, it has changed into a magical butterfly… completely transformed into a beautiful, magical, enigmatic, inspiring butterfly… the most sophisticated of all insects”

I knew then that I was in the right place at the right time… 

that I will pass on this godly inspiration…

that I will sit by the river long enough to see only the beauty…

that I will continue for many years to come to make women more beautiful than they already are…

that I will design exquisite gowns for those who care about sophistication, elegance, fabulousness,…

that the only constant... is change...
