Dana has a
designed a very special Couture JoeysCoat for Fiona to wear to the
PAWS SF
annual fundraiser, Petchitecture 2013 -
An Afternoon Affair At The St Regis San Francisco, this Sunday.
Fi's coat was inspired by a pair of 501's I wore during my high school days in the early '70's. My La Jolla High School 40th Reunion is this year, I received the invite in the mail, happened to be cleaning closets, and voila! Dana did the rest - subtle, elegant and with a personal history...or perhaps I should say, relic!
The belt is made from a vintage faux fur jacket from Dana's closet. The binding is silk from a vintage kimono found at a shop on the Island, Lost and Found, recently brought back from Japan by one of the shop owners. The metal ribbon trim and belt loops were found at a collectible store in a small country town northeast of Seattle. The celluloid buckle is also from an Island business, Treasure Island. And the beautiful brass buttons, with the lovely patina that but only comes with age, are from Paris.

Keep an eye out for the two girls who are
forever in blue jeans…
