The hand-dyed textured silk collars and cuffs in the 2011 Collection were overwhelming successes. Thus, for 2012, I am continuing the same wonderful TEXTURE and BOLD COLOR story. I am introducing two new short jacket styles, as well as a new vest. Feeding off the current trend of asymmetry in fashion, the Chanson style features a single lapel and an angled center front, while the Galliard Jacket is a shorter version of the wildly popular Canzona Jacket. The Minuet Vest is a sleeveless version of the Galliard Jacket. All of these styles are collarless, and look fabulous with the black aluminum brooch closure that affords the opportunity for flexibility in closure. The five styles in the 2012 Chenille-Textured Silk Collection are available in four new beautifully vivid colorways. Feed your passion for exquisite artwear with a lovely new garment from this Collection!
