Each a work of art, Antoni and Alison’s dresses are designed using traditional media like paint, paper, beads, and sequins. They are then applied to silk crepe de chine digitally, and these delightful trompe l’oeil dresses are born. Perfect for a summer wedding or event, these conversation pieces are sure to catch everyone’s eye!
**Please note we have started carrying a larger size range than previously in this line**

Now is the time to try something new and refresh your wardrobe with a special piece that will be your new favourite for years to come – and what better way than with a dress by London artists Antoni and Alison. Their prints are absolutely brilliant and wearing one of their pieces is like wearing a work of art.
Here is a great in-depth interview with the designers and pictures of some of their coolest outfits on Susie Bubble (thanks for the link Natalie!)
This week we will be posting Holiday Wishlists from everyone here at Gaspard. Today we start with my list!

We have now received our first delivery of the Fall 2012 collection from Mercy.
Earlier this summer I visited the studio and took some photographs of samples. Now in store, we have beautiful light wool shirt dresses, tops, and button down shirts (in a variety of colours and prints), as well as quilted cotton Liberty dresses (cap sleeve and 1/2 sleeve) and stunning high-waisted skirts in abstract inky blue florals as well as grey-green.
On model : Mercy Liberty Print Wool Shirtdress in blue (also available in pink) $340
On mannequin : Antoni and Alison dress, Mercy Liberty Print Wool Shirt in blue, Maison Boinet belt, Indress feather headpiece worn as a brooch.
And while you certainly don’t have to look like a mannequin to pull off this look (seriously – this Mercy shirt dress flatters most body types), it sure makes for a fun photograph!
