The Lady In Red Gallery is currently being added to the Penelope Red Etsy store. Some items are available for purchase now!
I was inspired by an exhibition I visited, The Silk Ikats of Central Asia. The fabrics have such vibrant textures and colours, so the ideas based on the theme flowed easily!
All of the items in this range are very unique; most are one-offs, and the others are 1 of 2. They have all been created using the more exclusive fabrics available, and constructed using more traditional and refined techniques.
For more information on the construction/making of any of these designs, please take a look at the Penelope Red Blog:
This collection of designs was inspired by many different influences; mainly old Hollywood movies, the hourglass silhouette, and of course, my fabrics.
Viva La Moda recently featured this collection in their "Designer Spotlight" section.
