I can see making it again, out of six fabrics as originally intended, but, like you, I need to collect them over time. :)<br /><br />I do think that second coat is fabulous, but I'm not sure if it would be as flattering on my body. I could not *possibly* wear that third design! Not sure who could, except someone very tall and very thin. And, even then, there are cuter clothes.shamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070023218199309005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-4874117642376947652010-10-30T18:32:35.848-04:002010-10-30T18:32:35.848-04:00I adore Koos as well.

However, I came to the realization, that no matter how much I loved the designs, they just did not work on me. I will continue to admire from afar - I will spend my time sewing things that will actually suit me.Irenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960310379822122045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-22759644787252815612010-10-30T15:23:26.147-04:002010-10-30T15:23:26.147-04:00His designs are full of little ideas you can take ...His designs are full of little ideas you can take away to use to make your own design's special.<br /><br />Tapping fingers and waiting for you to model the jacket.<br /><br />Nonienonie everythingsewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12433431619239575752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-39576291857244750322010-10-30T13:48:34.802-04:002010-10-30T13:48:34.802-04:00Bunny - I love the artistry of his garments.

It's called Koos Couture Collage Inspiration & Technique by Linda Chang Teufel. It's a wonderful book full of beautiful pictures of his work but then again if you are a fan you probably already know about it! It's in my sewing library and its a wonderful inspirational book!<br /><br />Can't wait to see what you come up for your Koos coat and I'm anticipating the reveal of the "Chanel" jacket!Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-30315910233170608572010-10-30T10:21:12.786-04:002010-10-30T10:21:12.786-04:00The second coat is wonderful.

The left-most dress in the second row of photos, page 1 has my mind buzzing. I love the combinations of fabrics, and that bias-cut plaid is so feminine looking!

I can see it with more bag and geometry around the hips, in dark fabric with a masculine turn on Yoko Ono running for the subway. As it is, you are right, but I love that blue. I teach landscape architecture and I always get very protective of the students' failures - somehow they are linked to the successes. As Gail above says, the coats are probably rarely for Australia and neither are the carrots which was a fascinating post too!susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17474457671500871145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-15105849371947958432010-10-29T17:03:54.926-04:002010-10-29T17:03:54.926-04:00That first coat is fabulous.
