en faisant les poches... emptying out somebody's pockets...

En pliant une robe, j'ai remarqué une protubérance dans sa poche ... je l'ai retournée, et un mouchoir (Nina Ricci), froissé, en est sorti. J'imagine qu'il était là depuis 30 ans ou plus, oublié par son ancienne propriétaire.
Folding some new dresses, I noticed a slight bulk in one of them... and out came a handkerchief, by Nina Ricci, oddly folded and forgotten by it's former owner for at least 30 years, I guess... I discovered a new hobby, next time I go on a vintage hunt : dig out forgotten objects from old pockets.

" Transparence "

I recently was invited to the South of France and brought a bag full of vintage dresses I had gathered during my last vintage hunt(about 140 new items to come !).

The Southern light was very warm, and in the evening, colors changed to beige and gold. I decided to take some pictures with the new dresses hanging outside. Hovering in the air (like ghosts...) under the breeze, they looked like x-rays against the sky, showing their "articulations" and hidden seams, but also the beauty of their delicate "skin" / fabric.

I will upload these dresses soon on my etsy shop (http://www.etsy.com/shop/JulesAtelier), with a greater color accuracy, but I wanted to share these pictures... a glimpse at forthcoming items ! Please feel free to convo for info or thoughts. atelierdejule(ad)gmail.com
