Golden Book Gown . . .

Ever fascinated by children's picture books & stories

I was amazed to come across this stunning

 "Golden Book gown" 

Storybook gown constructed entirely out of recycled

and discarded children’s Golden Books.

Can the stories of our past become part of a sustainable future?

I have long been enthralled by ballet & stage costumes

(as a young teen i helped out Birmingham rep theatre & adored it)

I fell in love with Isabelles's re-creation of the 

  costume worn by Vaslav Nijinski in the ballet The Peri .

The original costume was  created by Léon Bakst in 1912.
