Here’s a photo of my current project, which is in progress. It is heavily influenced by a current season Isabel Marant jacket, shown her on Net A Porter. I went to the city yesterday to take my daughter to the American Girl Doll store for her birthday, and while I was there I made it to M&J to get trims. I am so excited about the beaded trim for the edges! I thought I would have to sew all the seed beads on individually. There are a couple more trims that I’m planning on making for it as well.
I started with white canvas, and tie-dyed the sploches. I just love the way they turned out! The shapes are like some kind of cool marine life.

That is going to be a looker!
i was going to say the tie die bits look like dandelion fuzz, but regardless. very cool!
I can live with dandelion fuzz. It definitely resembles something organic.
It’s going to be awesome. That is one amazing inspiration jacket.
Oh that is going to be so stunning! I hope you will share your journey of how you add the trim to the jacket since that is the star of the piece.
I am very excited to see your interprataion of this jacket I have it hanging on my inspiration board right now. I originally saw it in Vogue (I think).
Me, too! I saw it in March Vogue, in an Isabel Marant ad, and the ad is hanging on the wall in my sewing room.
Wow, I can’t wait to see it. BTW, I love the flavor contrast between you and Adventures in Dressmaking – fun to read you in sequence, as I did today. I love love love your adventurous approach, thank you so much for taking the time to show us your work!
Your work is always inspiring, Claudine. I can’t wait to see the finished project. And I really love the tie-dye dandelion fluff. It’s going to be beautiful!
