My loves... You know I'm quite picky when it comes to retro inspired wears. I am a true vintage lover and I often feel like the authentic pieces are being overshadowed by the retro wear trend. I do however appreciate good retro inspired garments from time to time, as long as the fit is proper and the fabric is still vintage-ishy I can be open minded.
I have been modelling new retro styles for Notorious over the last few months and I love it. The ladies from the little boutique in Utrecht value the same aspect in garments as I do. Good fits, refined detailing, decent fabrics, accurate finishing... and so on. So I always know I'll like the new pieces they select.
This however was a very special occasion; I got together with four sultry ladies and an amazing photographer (
Eva Krebbers) to capture a new dress designed by non other than.... The Notorious beauties themselves! Manja and Laura put their heads together with
Hotrod Hussy to create their very own design. I was lucky enough to try the black version on and I can honestly say it felt like a GLOVE. The dress is just so incredibly comfortable and the fit is A-MA-ZING... each lady modelling a dress that day had a different body type and the Notorious dress fitted us all to the teeth. Because of the clean designs this beauty is very diverse. You can wear it for a more formal occasion with a blazer for instance and then with some killer heels when you go out for a booming night on the town. This dress is a multi-talent!
Wat een ontzettend leuke fotoshoot! :D Prachtige jurk ook :) En wat heb je het weer leuk geschreven.
ReplyDeleteI have similar dress like your. But what I like the most are your shoes!!! Adore it. Where did you bought it?
ReplyDeleteThey are from River Island! But I bought them years ago :(

Oh-la-la, dear gal, you look so splendidly lovely, glamorous, and beautiful! What a joy it must have been to model this delightful new repro frock and spend some time with four other stylish ladies in the process.

I like the dress, but it is not very flattering on you. You always look gorgeous, but it is a bit too tight around the breast, I can see the wires of your bra and 'bra lines' on the back. Shiny fabric is very unforgiving. Your arms looks much bigger because of the capped sleeves, a very unflattering length. It is a nice dress overall, but I have seen you in many, many much more beautiful outfits.
ReplyDeleteThank you dear! Wow it's always good to read I apparently hide the downsides you mention when I dress myself haha! I have got some broad upper arms to be honest, it's not so much the dress ;) it doesn't bother me at all though. Nor do the bra lines, but of course I know what it all looked like in real life (instead of captured in awkward chest-forward posing with flash photography haha.) So I am probably a bit biased.
DeleteSuper leuke foto's zijn het geworden! De jurk is ook erg mooi! Lijkt me heel leuk om zoiets te doen! Ik zou gaan lopen in de show van Very Cherry, maar die ging helaas op het laatste moment niet door.
ReplyDeleteIk heb trouwens van de week een vintage stijl shoot gedaan, gewoon met de compact camera van m'n vriend thuis in ons nieuwe appartement, haha! Maar ben wel benieuwd wat je ervan vindt eigenlijk. Het staat bovenaan op m'n blog (of misschien tweede post tegen de tijd dat je dit leest, haha!)
