Sporty Spice in Koi Suwannagate/Phillip Lim

For my cousin's 30th birthday celebrations at a beautiful vineyard, I decided to dress down my 3.1 Phillip Lim (& Koi Suwannagate) rosette tank dress for comfort. Sorry the pics are so weird & grainy, was playing around with Picasa...

Black Roses - Koi Suwannagate

Koi Suwannagate black cashmere rosette top (roses are on the back, boatneck in front, worn back to front)

Stella McCartney for H&M silk tulip skirt

Stella McCartney fuschia satin pumps

Beaded cuff (bought it over 10 years ago!)

The sleeves are in fact split, which I'm not a fan of, so I've knotted them up to make my own 'rose & thorns'. I see Natalie wore her sweater back to front too (although they say no two pieces are the same)!

Koi Suwannagate

It’s all in the detail! I liked the old times when things took time to be made. I appreciate the value of vintage clothing and draw much inspiration from antique pieces and organic shapes. I love femininity paired with imperfection."

(Koi Suwannagate)

Born in Bangkok and living in LA, Koi Suwannagate launched her line in 2001. A few years later I discovered her imaginately beautiful hand-sculptured creations, using vintage & organic fabrics, and nature-inspired designs. This black cashmere rosette top was my first Koi Suwannagate piece, and it is a real shame that I couldn't photograph it well (especially seeing it's black), it only made me fall deeper in love with her artistry. A few years later Koi collaborated with Phillip Lim for his Spring/Summer 2007 collection, which was truly a match made in fashion heaven. I fell in love with the 3-D sculptural roses, , and it's my favourite collection by Thailand-born (to Chinese parents) Phillip Lim (whom I've been a fan of since his 'Development' days). In more recent collections Koi has shown that she is not just a 'knit-girl' and has also used beautiful silks & jerseys.
