Dress: Vintage Calico Casa Shoes: Topshop
There are said to be certain clues in a woman’s life
that confirm that you are turning into your mother. A turn of phrase or familiar
facial expression will somehow make their way into our mannerisms and we
realise that the transformation is inevitable. Nowadays though, people have started
to celebrate the symmetry shared with parents in ways both abstract and
physical. Parents are regularly cited now
as sources of style inspiration. In the case of the dress in these photographs
however, the focus shifts from the traits passed down through genes and DNA to
a story inherited second-hand; petticoated in until very recently. A dress born
from an act of creativity which circuits mother and daughter decades after its
genesis.
