Marni-Chinoiserie in Fashion

It is rare when my love for fashion and Chinoiserie intersect. So this Fall 2009 RTW collection by Marni could not be more up my alley. Prints and color are a big look this fall, and I adore these Chinoiserie silk wallpaper prints Marni sent down the runway. Don't they have a de Gournay feel to them? One of these gorgeous Chinoiserie silks would definitely lift your look and your spirits.

  3. Theresa-LOL-I was thinking the same thing. An example of "you look like you are wearing wallpaper" being a compliment!

  4. Oh my! Oh my! Very hip. I have a collection of silk embroidered pyjamas (some from the 70s)that I like to rock with just about anything. I usually don't wear the bottoms, but I just love the vibrant colors and mandarin collars. Another fab post!
