Kelli Wharton
Director and Designer of Talulah
Fashion lovers..... rewind to 2002.. the year in which the inevitable birth of the Talulah label first captured the fashion yearnings of the fashion forward and fashion conscious, for those who wanted more for the inside ( lingerie ) as opposed to the outside.. Now fast forward to 2010, and numerous successful collections, along with stockists worldwide, Kelli Wharton ( the creative designer and director of Talulah), has carved an impressive statement in the fashion industry.Spreading her wings from just giving the fashionista a choice of lingerie, Talulah, these days gives you.. so much more than just straps, lace and negligees... instead... picture embellishments, flowing lines and simply flirty style elegance... with the ability to allow you to attend those Friday cocktails, Saturday lunches, and Sunday brunches.... or picnics in the park, barefoot on the boardwalk & stylish at the soiree... xxo.
Kelli Wharton this season has clearly captured the feeling felt by nearly every 'fashion free' femme.. ( fashion free: carefree & independent, yet still very intelligent and conscious in her choice of dress ) and that is.. the feeling of stepping out with the impression of looking effortlessly fresh. Spring 2010 is titled "Romancing In Wonderland" - "inspired by youthful elegance through the use of soft lovely silks and beautiful prints, complimented by standout headpieces" - Kelli Warton.
My thoughts on 'Romancing in Wonderland'? - Romanced I am indeed...xo I enjoy the notion of knowing that this current collection is still very much in keeping with the feminine form ( accentuating it, and not overbearing ) and immensley wearable. Elongated sweeping hemline styles, blended intelligently with carefully 'thought' of textures, prints, and architectural style arrangements... xoxo, clearly...all based on quality and visual appeal xo.
What is this "Wonderland"?.. this place where you so seemingly enter into a state of romancing??. I can only... with creative assumption, picture this wonderland... as being simply this: " A place filled with all things delectable, delightful and desirable coupled with a dream like and playful state of mind ( from Talulah, an option of delectable prints, frills, silks and tucks... tucks in the form of the cute 'played' down style of the bubble dress. ) I love the new 'soft' interpretation of the mini bubble style designs.... the illusion of 'not quite' bubble... enhancing the continual hidden & tucked flow of the hemline xoxo.
Kelli describes her style as; "feminine, bold with a touch of sparkle" ( I love the 'touch of sparkle' part..xo... because it brings comfort in knowing that the Talulah label is just as much about the 'personable' as it is about being the 'fashionable'). I describe her style as.... freedom, edgy and girly ( girly as in... stylish girly... and not 'cutesy' girly).. with an indulgent slant...xoxo.
Kelli comments, how she loves how "Australian women follow boutique brands, as it gives us a chance to show best what we love!"... and in reciprocation... thank - you to Kelli for her creative talents in educating Australian women on how to fall in love with this chic boutique sense of style xoxo.
This Spring...2010, allow Talulah to take you into your own personal wonderland......xoxo.
