I'm having so much fun at my locknest on this frigid winter day. I am all about the little black dress today. Above is Catherine Deneuve in a famous Yves Saint Laurent black dress and Coco Chanel who made the little black dress famous. My hope is to do justice to these beautiful women and clothes, while keeping a touch of whimsy to my drawing.
Here's a quote from the new book that has caught my interest (The Classic Ten). "When a woman puts on a black dress the world assumes she is sophisticated, sexual and knowing. By eschewing the bright plumage of the hunted for the discreet attire of the hunter, the woman in black is taking on the role of aggressor. In pastels she is a target, passive. In black she is charting her own course." Great, right?
Hope those of you in the Northeast are enjoying this frigid day too.
