Eugenie Bird is a writer who leads a busy life covering
the newest developments in the world of fairie Haute Couture while
flying between homes in the Middle West and New England. Her farm
is a well-known gathering place of Fashionistas searching for
tranquility away from the hurly-burly of New York, London, and
European fashion centers.
Ellwand, the premier contemporary designer of urban and
field wear for the Other People, keeps his atelier in the ancient
bluebell groves of West Sussex, England. Outside, a tiny unmarked
door offers no sign to passersby, allowing the designer his
privacy. Inside, masses of wildflowers, dried grasses, feathers and
seedpods, pine cones, and polished pretties surround him as he
works late into the night, turning his visions into one-of-a-kind
realities. The otherworldly garments in Fairie-Ality were
all designed, handcrafted, and photographed for reproduction by the
couturier himself. This is the first time that Ellwand has agreed
to share his newest line with a human audience. Ellwand lives with
his wife and daughter, just two miles from the site said to be the
High Seat of the fairies.
David Downton’s renowned and widely published portraits
of fashions and super-models, winged and unwinged, have earned him
fame in both style circles. In the human milieu, he is considered
one of Europe’s leading fashion artists, known for interpreting the
designs of Dior, Chanel, Valentino, and Lacroix at the haute
couture shows in Paris. His illustrations have appeared in such top
fashion magazines as Vogue, Elle, and Marie Claire.
"If only the coats and dresses created for Fairie-ality were life-size."
