Monday Morning Inspiration

Good Morning Everyone and welcome to a new week!
This week, I once again have a spring issue of the Ungaro fabric swatch catalog to share. This has been a blast for me as I really enjoy taking a little time to look through the illustrations. Some of the pieces I find quite inspiring, others I just enjoy seeing the fabric combinations. I have not included all of the fabric swatches, just those that I thought were especially nice or interesting. As you scroll through, the swatches will be directly below the picture of the garment. I have two more books to share, both are fall/winter collections. So those will be shared in the upcoming weeks.
This is Spring/Summer 1990. The shoulders are still quite bold, but notice that they are beginning to diminish somewhat in size and the waist is the focal point.






























I hope you're enjoying seeing the pictures as much as I am enjoying going through the books.
Have a wonderful week!
Rhonda

  3. Amazing! I want that pink plaid fabric.
    These are so relevant, I can see some of the necklines in modern designs.

    1. I'm like you, each time I look through these books I wish that I could buy some of the fabric. Maybe one day a warehouse will be found where all of these fabrics are stored and in mint condition ;) We can dream!!
