Today my eldest daughter and I worked on her science fair project. She made parachutes out of four different types of plastic and tested them to see which one lowered a tiny doll most slowly from a three-storey indoor height. (I ran the stopwatch and photographed my daughter's drops.)
Naturally my thoughts turned to Norma Kamali and her fantastic parachute-fabric confections.
The orange above is stunning, and this jumpsuit/dress pairing takes me to a dance club on Mars.
Here is a skirt and top available now on Kamali's website--love the billowing puffs. I'd happily wear this skirt to work with a structured shirt.
My thoughts on reading this are less about Ms. Kamali and more about what a smartie that kid is! (Of course, I'm sure her Mummy helped her a bit...)
ReplyDeleteWOW these are fantastically amazing!! I wish my brain worked on this level to design such inspirations ;)
ReplyDeleteI tried one on a couple of years ago. I was freaked out by the sheerness of it!
ReplyDeleteThey look so beautiful..... I will want hot pink or orange. : )
ReplyDeleteI am amazed with the model in the first picture... way to work that orange fabric!
ReplyDeleteThe movement in that orange dress is just amazing. The others look a little more static in their construction.
ReplyDeleteI'm crazy for parachute looks and Kamali has some great ones!
ReplyDeleteFor some odd reason, I'm super attracted to the parachute look.
