Oodles of Tulle

Please do ignore the slight feeling of 'Sadako' from The Ring, in these images of Seiko Taki's SS08 collection.  They just happened to prompt me to go on a search on Yoox for odd tulle pieces because for some reason, Yoox, with their seasons old stock consistently harbous many tulle confections from various Italian designers that I haven't encountered in reality.  Enough of the browsing action though, because as soon as I get the all clear from the BBC weather forecast, I'm going to go on an all out binge to acheive a long tulle skirted, wedding cake effect on the bottom with something quite tight and minimal on top, finished with satin flats.

This is to be achived with a mix of mesh leggings, skirts by Missotten who seem to excel at the long skirted tulle creations, possibly with the addition of a dress by Haute or Gianluca Capannolo (no, I'm not firing out names in a knowing fashion... I haven't a clue either but just go with it....) and the easy vintage tulle crinoline skirt options from Rokit/Beyond Retro and the like.  I demand wedding cake on the legs, and I'm not going to hold back on the number of tiers, ruffles, shades of peach/nude I go for.  This all probably sounds terrifying but I guess when wedding cake-stylee tulle skirts take over your brain, you would get a little posessed (see girl in the image above - totally entranced/hypnotised by Seiko Taki's tulle/chiffon creations....)
