Ambling around in my back garden wearing the Daubigny's Garden Dress (a work depicting the enclosed garden of Charles-Francoise Daubigny, a fellow painter Van Gogh greatly admired) from Anthea Crawford's recent collaboration with Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum on a capsule collection that is very clearly what dreams are made of... particularly if you're a European art enthusiast like me! Literally wearable art, this utterly divine dress, with its green & pink floral print, soft chiffon fabric in a 1930s style silhouette with floaty midi-length hem, scarf tie neckline & slightly puffed 3/4 sleeves with black lace cuffs (to imitate an artwork's frame) is the most wonderful investment piece, something collectible that can be worn for many years to come & looks great simply paired with shiny black patent ankle boots from celebrated Aussie shoe label Wittner & a black velvet knot bag from Spanish boutique Swinging Chicks Shop on Etsy for the Queensland winter.
