As soon as they were made they were parceled up and sent on their way to their new home in New Zealand. I managed to also make a matching pair of leggings to go with this. But for a toddler wearing cloth nappies, a looser waistband might not be a bad thing! The positive here is that the hood lining and the cuffs match, the down side is that it possibly makes the cuffs and waistband a little looser than it might be with cuffing. Where this would normally be using cuffing for the cuffs and waistband, I do quite like the look of the jersey and it being cotton jersey it is a similar weight too. Match made in heaven.Īs you can see, I used the jersey for the inner hood and the cuffs and waistband. I had some fabric left over from sewing myself yet another pair of Juno Pyjamas so I decided to use the same combination of narwhal French Terry (bought from The Maker’s Merchant back when in store visits were a thing, pre-pandemic!! I miss this!) and some perfectly matching white and pink striped cotton jersey which I bought after Sarah at Like Sew Amazing shared it on her Instagram page, matching the exact narwhal fabric I had already. On 1stDibs, find vintage Lalique decorative objects, lighting, tables and more.The first version I made was for my then 18 month old niece (and it includes the obligatory ‘Auntie Made It’ label by Kylie and the Machine, of course!). It remains a well-regarded lifestyle brand underpinned by a rich history in glassmaking. In 2008, Lalique was acquired by Art & Fragrance, now known as Lalique Group. She renewed the traditional jewelry and fragrance side of the business. Marc's daughter, Marie-Claude Lalique, became CEO in 1977. The firm continued to produce its signature glass pieces as well as crystal vases, decor and serveware. Lalique died in 1945, and the reins at the company were passed to his son, Marc Lalique. Lalique began receiving high-profile commissions - in 1929, he decorated the luxurious Côte d’Azur Pullman Express carriages, and in 1935, he designed lighting for the Grand Salon and dining room on the ocean liner SS Normandie. A marvel of glassmaking that convincingly depicted movement, the vase displays his technical skills and artistry. Shortly afterward, in 1927, he created one of his most iconic pieces: the Bacchantes vase. His attractive bottles and other pieces were shown at the International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in 1925 - the event that brought Art Deco to worldwide attention - catapulting Lalique to new levels of fame. Lalique opened his eponymous glassworks in Combs-La-Ville, Paris, in 1909. He designed a line of molded glass perfume bottles with frosted surfaces and patterned reliefs. In 1907, Lalique began a revolutionary partnership with French perfumer François Coty. Lalique’s work gained greater prominence at the 1900 Paris Exhibition, which served as a showcase for his extraordinary designs. Not one to follow trends, Lalique gained popularity for his innovative accessories, which merged glass, enamel and ivory - materials that were uncommon in jewelry-making - with semi-precious stones and metals. He took over a workshop in Paris in 1885 and opened his own business soon afterward. Lalique's skill and esteem broadened, and he created jewelry for renowned houses like Cartier and Boucheron. As a young man, he apprenticed under Parisian Art Nouveau jeweler Louis Aucoc and studied at L'École nationale supérieure des Arts Décoratifs. Rene Laliqué was born in 1860 in Aÿ-en-Champagne, France. Under his masterful leadership, Lalique came to be known for its gorgeous vases, sculptures and glass and crystal serveware. The firm’s founder, René Lalique, is a celebrated figure in Art Nouveau jewelry, which drew on feminine forms and natural-world themes. Lalique is a beacon of French opulence in glassmaking and decorative arts, an enduring brand with a history spanning over 130 years and at least three movements in art and design: Art Nouveau, Art Deco and modernism.
