 Designer Lingerie  Art Nouveau. Art Nouveau is considered a "total" art style, embracing architecture, graphic art, interior design, and most of the decorative arts including jewellery, furniture, textiles, household silver and other utensils and lighting, as well as the fine arts.

Art Nouveau

According to the philosophy of the style, art should be a way of life. For many well-off Europeans, it was possible to live in an art nouveau-inspired house with art nouveau furniture, silverware, fabrics, ceramics including tableware, jewellery, cigarette cases, etc. Artists desired to combine the fine arts and applied arts, even for utilitarian objects.[3] Origins[edit] Art Nouveau interior at the 1900 Paris Universal Exhibition by Bruno Möhring, German pavilion.

A fagoted seam is a decorative seam that joins two pieces of fabric together with a space between them and a row of hand stitching. It’s a very pretty detail seen most often in vintage clothing. It’s easy to incorporate this kind of seam into any patterns you make that have a yoke, or any other simple seam. In this case, I’m making a silk blouse with a V-shaped yoke. So the two pieces fit together, forming a V-shaped seam.

For the hand stitches, I used some perle cotton that matched my fabric, but you could use embroidery floss, heavy silk thread, maybe even very narrow silk embroidery ribbon. Here’s what you’ll need: two pieces you’d like to join togetherheavy thread or embroidery floss for hand stitcheshand sewing embroidery needlea piece of paper large enough to lay your pieces ona pencila ruler The first step is to turn the seam allowance under on each side of the seam.

Style icon: Olivia Palermo

Her high-low approach leaves us wondering how she can create such magical looks; whether it’s a TopShop frock and Giambattista Valli heels or head-to-toe Chanel, her style garners her icon status. Style Palermo’s love of couture-like separates in soft neutrals and prepster pieces like high-waisted trousers and cropped leather jackets always leaves us swooning of her perfectly tailored style. She favours creamy nude palettes like the one shown here and all-black looks, and gives them life by punctuating with bright accents like an electric orange pump or a sleek clutch. Beauty Olivia’s crowning glory is her illustrious mane cut in a shoulder-length swingy bob.
