Historical Fiction and Fashion
17 March 2009
As my new novel is called Lady of the Butterflies and is being launched in the summer, I was thrilled to see that Female First have flagged butterflies as THE fashion trend for the season. Apparently Barbie's New York Fashion Week show was awash with them, and where Barbie goes, the rest of us follow, apparently! Other celebrities taking to the wing include the TingTings' Katie White who wore a butterfly embellished top to the Brit Awards and Liv Tyler who was seen sporting a butterfly print dress.
Butterflies have long been regarded as symbols of hope, which makes them the perfect pick-me-up and antidote to all the doom and bloomin’ gloom that we are currently confronted with everywhere we turn – so wear butterflies on your dress or escape to another world with a lovely romantic novel about a great seventeenth century butterfly collector (can’t resist the shameless plug). Good on you Barbie, I say!
Have your say
