high priest and bad boy of fashion
amicable when sober
banished from the couture houses
for unrefined
politically incorrect racist comments
spewed
whilst
rolling drunk in a cafe
his couture genius
should stand on its own merits
his gowns - art pieces
of the first rank
influenced by history
post modernism fantasy
theatre and romance
shades of the french revolution
cum oriental flour sacks
and quilted dressing gowns
brilliant
sometimes frivolous
gowns of sheer poetry
theatre and floating fantasy
stuff that little girls'
(and big girl's )
dreams are made of
if you're a girly girl
i want this one
butterflies on my back
caressing my skin
spilling out on to my dress
Great pics document the images of your poem. I like the butterfly one too spilling over bare back to the fabric of the dress. I like the male/French Revolution one too. The material of the women's dresses would have to be the lightest silk to be able to move in them, though. Definitely art and poetry ... tho sometimes I wonder if these types of outfits aren't more a male fantasy than a woman's? Thanks for writing to my prompt!
