Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Shrimpton Couture was born as a result of being an obsessive shopper. From as far back as I can remember clothes have held a fascination for me. Innately I knew that given the right wardrobe a girl could lead the life she wanted. People always laugh when I tell them all the success I have had in my life was born out of the need to have a closet full of Prada and Gucci, sprinkled in amongst pristine Ossie Clark's and a row of beaded silk flapper dresses. They don't really believe me and assume I am saying it to amuse but the truth is that the clothes are not just clothes. Clothes and especially vintage clothing represent the countless women who led extraordinary lives. When you pick up an exquisite bias cut silk floral chiffon gown from the 1930's, each of it's stitches painstakingly done by hand; one cannot wonder what girl once dreamed of her future life while wearing that dress. Clothes are magic...they can transport you from an ordinary girl to the belle of the ball. From an innocent girl to a femme fatale. That is a powerful seduction.
