An explosion of Beauty in this vintage tasselled shawl, a concoction of 1920s spirit, Art Deco and Mediterranean exoticism. A Unique piece of wearable art, an expression of the Soul

A peacock opening her feathers...Art Deco brought to life, an alluring layer of art over a flapper dress or long gown...A Bohemian Bride in the rich colours of joy...

DESCRIPTION: Birdsong floods the air, filling it completely, fusing with high notes of floral scents and jasmine, a heady haze of intoxication. She outstretches her arms, sunlight threading through the opulently long black tassels of her antique shawl, a peacock opening her feathers, a full display of elegant beauty and radiance. Colours pulled from nature descend upon her, the luminosity of intricately embroidered flowers on glamorously black silk, the mystery of night blooms, colour born in the dark.

Turning with the elegance of Old Hollywood, the film stars of another age, her vintage shawl adorns her with a timeless splendour, trails from her as she moves like a darkly rolling ocean offering up the gift of flowers. Able to be folded in so many ways, this time her shawl is styled with a kimono look, the sides long and looking like delicate lapels edged with an expanse of open black crochet overflowing into streams of tassels cascading to the ground...she is a vision of 1920s precision and refinement. Art Deco brought to life, an alluring layer of art over a flapper dress or long gown. From crochet fringing tassels fall, tumbling down the length of her back, falling everywhere you look like torrents of rain at midnight, an enigmatic and dark plumage, with Greta Garbo-esque femininity and strength.

The sound of a Spanish guitar playing greets the song of birds, and she dances, arms up, elbows out, tassels whirling wildly, spinning around her, flashes of lustrous rose colours amid sumptuous black, a blur of feathers and skin and love as she flicks her shawl across her shoulder, a woman wrapped in glory. A dancer, a lover, a bride, an exotic beauty preparing for flight. Like a wild bloom greeting the Genius of the dance she breaks through all boundaries, revealing her own colours in the dark.
