"We drew simplicity from Jackie Kennedy. She had a very complex life but a very simple, refined aesthetic, from her shift dresses to her Nantucket baskets and daisies, which are simple flowers but were her favorite. We took the Nantucket basket and the daisies and crafted them together to make something that was very feminine."

I think I might have to have that little vase, I love the cuff too but find that solid bracelets like that clunk against my wrist bone - by the end of the day my wrist is the size of Hellboy's
ReplyDeleteYears ago, I had some Hitchcock Chairs that needed caning and an elderly man repaired them all by hand.
ReplyDeleteThe beauty lies in the diminutive repetition and natural beauty and alas, the practicality.
So pretty for an island home or summer table.

I really like her work!
ReplyDeleteThe set as shown in the picture from Pickard is fabulous!
I adore caning, the bracelet is fabulous. Love Charoltte's design works
ReplyDeleteI must say that is one of the most beautiful photographs of Jackie that I have seen.

Tabitha, great of you to visit and I am going to follow along with your blog- get that vase.
ReplyDeletePatricia, I agree about the caning and love Hitchcock chairs-the caning is becoming a lost art.
ReplyDeleteMGD-I think she has distilled the design beautifully, love all of her collections of women in design and fashion sketches too. pgt
ReplyDeleteKarena, it is easy to see the design inspiration in that Jackie photograph, perhaps Jackie felt at home in yellow, it is a beautiful portrait.
ReplyDeleteThe Charlotte Moss pieces are so attractive. The picture of Jackie you selected you reminded me how singularly stunning she was. I've always felt few people can pull of wearing yellow and she is one of them. I'll be in Martha's Vineyard this year - although not Nantucket - but hopefully I'll still be able to treat myself to a Nantucket basket.
