ART DECO-RATION


The quintessence of Art Deco style, the Chrysler Building, has inspired many a designer (photo at left by Daniel Benson).
Just see the channeling of the architectural whimsy of the mid-twentieth century in this Rue du Mail Fall 2008 look (pic at right courtesy nymag.com). Couture Carrie adores not only the design of this dress, but its shape - corseted top and full, crinoline-bolstered skirt.... the architecture of style!
A more direct interpretation is offered by Anna Sui, whose deco backless top is pictured in multiple views below. A blouse that is both flattering and a conversation piece? Artful! Go to net-a-porter.com to buy!
