A Work of Art at Michelsberg Tailoring

A Work of Art at Michelsberg Tailoring

Scabal’s ‘Dali Collection’ of stunning, quality cloth has arrived at the VQ’s Michelsberg Tailoring.

The material is inspired by 12 of the internationally renowned artist’s paintings that Scabal commissioned Salvador Dali to create for them back in 1971, to represent Dali’s view of man and fashion in the 21^st century.

“Whilst studying fine art I acquired a taste for fashion”, purred Salvador Dali. “I wore the most elegant suits, a cultured pearl necklace, bracelets and silk shirts, which I have designed with puff sleeves that gave me a feminine look. The age of the dandy had begun, and for me it was never to end”.

The artist certainly knew his own style, when it came to cutting a dash.

 Although a pearl necklace and puff sleeves may not be your inspiration, there’s no denying that a well-cut, tailored suit that reflects your personal style, will ensure a unique look that oozes quality and if you choose, panache with your own hint of dash.

The Dali inspired designs are bold, colourful and made up in a durable, Super 100’s yarn with cashmere, and are simply stunning.

Scabal are not only famous for their brush with the late Salvador Dali, one of the world’s most famous artists, but their premium materials are also coveted by today’s A-list Hollywood stars, with Tom Cruise and Daniel Craig donning Scabal, and the ever stylish David Beckham’s morning suit at Prince William and Kate’s wedding was also from the designer brand of premium cloths.

L’Occitane Inspired by West African Fabric's

L’OCCITANE has decorated its Shea Butter range with colourful, graphic PATTERNS, inspired by the bogolan cloth – a traditional fabric from West Africa 

 

Shea Butter Limited Edition in the colours and scents of Africa

A True Story 

For these limited editions, L’OCCITANE drew inspiration from three flowers with subtle scents:

The Desert Rose from Morocco is known for its generous blooms and fruity, zesty aroma, which perfumes the desolate landscape.

Egyptian Hibiscus delights the eyes with its array of different colours, from the purest white to the most passionate red. Its sensual, sunny perfume awakens the senses.

Cocoa flower from the Ivory Coast has a comforting, milky scent with a delicious hint of cacao. 

The colourful design is inspired by bogolan cloth that is worn by men and women alike. This traditional fabric is decorated with patterns specific to each village, showing where it was made. Bogolan cloth is dyed with mud, which is said to give the fabric vital energy.
