These ensembles from Ulla Johnson's fall 08 collection remind me of the clothing my Finnish grandmother wore in the 1940s. A photograph ever present on my inspo board shows her perched on a rock in the middle of dense forest, wearing a simple, expertly hand sewn outfit and high heeled lace-up shoes, her lips and nails painted dark red. I still wonder how she managed to cultivate such a glamourous appearance in an isolated place where Saturday night out consisted of naked saunas and ice fishing (and still does).
I became an Ulla devotee after discovering the "sadie" cardigan last year. Can't wait to see what she comes up with for 2009...
