One of the key elements for me when I “situatedly create” with a designer is how the clothes move and what they feel like to the touch. It is important for me how my clothes express themselves when I wear them, I like to hear their whisper, I like to know they are present. Whether it is the rustle of silk or the texture of a knit my clothes convey their message and I respond.
The polka dots on my shirt add texture to the otherwise sheer fabric, giving it both substance and delicacy at the same time. They invite me to play. The artful woven pattern of the knits allow me freedom of movement and expression, provide depth but not bulk as they shape themselves around my body.
This dress gestures to me and indicates I should feel free to stretch myself. It is a dress that when you look at it on the hanger you think you need to be very tall and very thin to wear it well but when you put it on you see how much it loves every kind of women, including a short woman like me. I think this is one of the special gifts of designers who “situatedly create”, their clothes can kiss every kind of woman.

If only I was really doing yoga my back was sore for a few days after!
What you mention about the fabrics is so important and underlooked nowadays. I think a lot of people, even those into fashion, forget how expressive all fabrics and textures can be.

Thanks for the comment. I have sent Calvin to your blog, he can learn a thing or two about style!
You know the saying, "Are you wearing your clothes or are they wearing you?"? You certainly wear your clothes and wear them well, like they are a second skin. Beautiful. I’m in love with your ankle boots, and the polka dots, of course!!
