New Renaissance Girl: Carven FW12

Guillaume Henry's Carven girl is always pretty as a picture. But in her latest outing, she also wears the art. As if she fell asleep in a gallery and dreamed herself into the tapestries, her favorite waisted dresses and skirts are remade in Renaissance-style jacquard and silk printed with scenes from Hieronymus Bosch paintings. But before you start thinking floor-length-sleeves and corsets, nothing about this says Ren Fair. Mr. Henry taps into his signature girlish French chic, supplying his much-loved draped silk dresses and blouses in stained-glass patterns, and reworking Carven's trademark shrunken tailoring in deep Bosch-like colors.
