Cathy models the Joan Collins dress!

 

We couldn't have wished for a more glorious first day of Spring.

It was the perfect occasion for my cousin Cathy, still a little jet-lagged from her Paris-New York flight, to model my latest creation, McCall's 9037, the Joan Collins wrap dress.

As always, Cathy proved herself a trouper.  She wasn't completely sold on the Eighties look, but when I told her to "think vintage Thierry Mugler," her eyes lit up.  The rest, as they say, was a piece of gateau.

As always, this is more than just a photoshoot, but also a journey into the life of a complex, albeit highly glamorous, woman.



If you'd like to see this slideshow full size -- highly recommended -- please click on any image and watch it in my Picasa gallery from start to finish (click "view all" and then "slideshow" in the upper left hand corner).  It's a veritable thrill-ride.

(Cathy completists can catch earlier adventures here and here.)

Thanks go out to Michael for his wonderful photography -- and his patience.

Happy Spring, everybody!
