>>I'm keeping this short because I've drunk one too many French martinis and feeling a bit iffy... but I'm still conscious enough to remember my excitement over this new piece that has come into my possession courtesy of Fannie Schiavoni, who became the subject of my Who Dun It pondering. Actually, I say excitement, but it's tinged with guilt too because stupidly I thought the chains that make up Fannie's beautiful accessories, collars, gloves and general acoutrements were pre-made and that she just architected where the chains went. Not so. She painstainkingly links each ring to the other, giving her more control of how the links are formed and how the shape falls so that fools like me can gasp and squeal over a chain link cage dress/tunic type piece that will be slipping over a plethora of outfits. So eager was I when I first saw it that as soon as Fannie brought it over for a fitting, I slipped it on for the ASOS Ltd 100 party tonight where said martinis were had (more about that tomorrow...). Haven't been this excited about experimenting with a piece since... ooh... my last cage outing with Norwegian Wood... guess I can't get the damn cage concept out of my head. Sorry if it's boring you guys to tears...
