Was inspired by Chanel 11FW collections and Paul Verlaine’s poem” Sentimental Dialogue”, I drew this series of illustrations. It was the first time to try some Gothic styles based on this really sad love story.
Illustration by Nancy.Z
The poem originally in French, which I post them in the illustrations.
1.In the old park, lonely and bound by frost
Two forms just passed and were in darkness lost.
2/3 Their lips are pale and moist, their eyes are dead,
Almost inaudible the words they said.
4.In the old park, lonely and bound by frost,
Two ghosts recalled the perished days they lost.
5.”Do you remember our old, mad delight?”
“Why would you have me think of it tonight?”
6.”Still at my name does your heart throb and glow?
And in your dreams your soul still sees me?”–“No.”
“O goodly days of joy that we have seen
When our lips clung …” “It may have been!”
7.”How blue was heaven and how our hope outspread!”
“To a black sky those perished hopes have fled!”
8. They walk recalling a wild, graceless day,
And only night can hear the words they say.
“Fashion fades, only style remains the same. “-Coco Chanel
It is time to post a Chanel inspired look. The same outfit as the last post, I took the hat off and changed to a small bag. Actually this look was inspired by literary of 19 century, but the oversize gentleman shirt, black ties with elegant Chanel mini bag reminds me Coco style as well. 🙂
