Working with Clara Kaesdorf - Local Berlin Fashion Designer
Clara Kaesdorf, a Berlin fashion designer, has been working on a collection for her Pop-Up Store in Steglitz, Berlin. She designs her own printed fabrics and created unique, yet accessible, wearable art for women and men. I am lucky enough to work with Clara, constructing A-line skirts in 3 of her different fabric designs. For a look at what she is doing follow this link:

"A dress makes no sense unless it inspires men to take it off you."
As stated by the French playright Francoise Sagan.
A dress should be flirtatious, distracting, sensual, alluring, charming, innocent and sexy all at the same time. Over a century we have see the hemlines, waistlines, sleeves, fabrics and inspirations change multiple times. From the conservative, modest yet still sexy Victorian and Edwardian dresses covering a woman's body from neck to sole and corset pinching her waist in for that perfect wasp waist figure, to the 1920's prohibition era of short hair and even shorter skirts, to the dramatic hemline drop and bias cuts of the 1930's, to the rationing of fabrics for wartime efforts in the 1940's. Fashion is a yo-yo and will likely continue to be so. Contemporary fashion mimics all that which has already been done, over and over, and so has the past. It inspires us, and hopefully you will be inspired by some of the garments I have created too.
Everyone loves a sweet little party frock...
