Jean Dessès | 1953⠀
———⠀
Jean Dessès began his fashion career designing for a small couture house, Maison Jane, in 1925, where he was hired on the strength of his original design drawings. He opened his own maison de couture in 1937 but received his greatest recognition following World War II, having successfully built an international clientele. Dessès gained a particular reputation for evening gowns of intricately pleated and gracefully draped sheer silks, which became signature features of his collections beginning in the late 1940s. These fabrics, whose fragile nature necessitates expert handling, offered a pliancy that allowed Dessès to create endless variations of form, drawing inspiration from a range of historical sources. Here, the influence of 1860s ball gowns is revealed in the dress’s grand proportions and swagged drapery. Although Dessès captured the expressive opulence of the era of haute couture’s birth, he modernized and softened the nineteenth-century paradigm with his fluid draping and airy textiles.

I grew up in a family where my grandma and mum made and repaired our clothes and passed it down to the next generation. I never thought studying fashion design is an option for me but when I made a list of all the things I want to learn and do it all made sense. This is my grandma with the first coat she made herself Also explains my love for coats

The #metgala has me thinking about that time in 2013 that I designed a loungewear collection based on ornately decorated catacomb saints. Inspired by the book “Heavenly Bodies”. I love this theme more than anything. #extravagance #luxe #loungewear #fashionart #throwback #fashion #FIT #fashionillustration #mariekheffernandesign #fbf #flashbackfriday #metheavenlybodies #metgala2018 #skeletons #catacombs #saints #catholic #fashiondesign #inspiration #metropolitanmuseumofart

Still really like this look from almost about a month ago, I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better at drag since this but I love how different it is from my last look with the dark grungy make up, the looks are like two different people almost

Looking freaky!!! This is a big occasion as I have so many untouched black eyeshadows because I never wear black but I thought it would be fun to spice it up and go for a more vampy grunge look ✔️I am learning how to do make up again because as a boy I only wear neutrals and nudes so I haven’t really played with colours until doing drag which are a lot harder to work with ✌
