A queen mostly known for being the second wife of Henry VIII who was beheaded for a few (probably false) crimes against the king and her country, but thanks to the series The Tudors and the movie and book called The Other Boleyn Girl it started the beginning of a life long obsession, and inspiration. Over time I have collected photo's from the TV series and the movie and have used them to inspire more than a few designs.
I remember my very first design was inspired by a photo of Anne Boleyn from the TV series The Tudors she was walking with Henry VIII in a winter scene and she was wearing a fur cloak, I later bought an old mink fur jacket and ripped the separate pelts apart and reformed it into a new cloak complete with brown satin lining. Thank you Queen Anne Boleyn!
Just like with the Marie Antoinette feature photo's are soon to come including photo's of my designs.

How Marie Antoinette not only affected history but also Haute Couture as we know it
Christian Dior, Chanel, & Oscar de la renta are all well known designers. They are also well known designers that when the movie Marie Antoinette by Sophia Coppola came to theaters they based their creations off of Marie Antoinette's own historical fashion sense. The light luxuriant fabrics, the gathered layers, ruffles, flowers, bows, and of course the curled and fluffed high hair.
Queen Marie Antoinette may have been rumored to say "let them eat cake" which she is more well known for, but her sense fashion has also left a lasting impression. She is one of the most misunderstood Queen's of history and also one of my greatest idols so of course she has also inspired my own designs too and not just Christian Dior's. Available soon will be photo's of modern design in comparison to that of the movie will soon be featured on my main page.
