a dress story


when i was 18
my mother's friend, lusia,
from Milan, gave me the first
dress she ever made.


an original
liberty print.
1972.


luisa is now a big
designer so it means
a lot to be the sole owner
of this incredible piece.


although, i've never worn it.
maybe because I was saving
it for an occasion like this.


I like to stick my hands
in its deep pockets


so bohemian


ps: I would share more pics
but I know some of you
will be at the wedding!
