Jersey Jersey

So, after some loooong draping sessions and playing with a whole lot of different fabrics, I have decided that jersey is going to be KEY in my collection. Don't picture a whole range of plain jersey dresses coming down the runway cause that wont be it, but imagine a mix of soft modal jerseys and stiff cotton drills and silks mixed together is unexpected ways, and because of my obsession with drape and all things feminine, it works perfectly. I just like the way jersey can fall around the body to create the most flattering shapes but at the time can be stretched and fitted to hug it in other places. anyway enough about that. I have pulled some interesting pieces from collections that use jersey in both traditional and also unusual ways!
