eCOmbellishment----DIY GIVENCHY

These photos are from an Ebay auction for a beautiful Givenchy sweater/top. It's too small and I can't afford it so I'll attempt a DIY. I've ordered the black wrap sweater top from HSN and black onyx beads from Ebay ----the beads will take a while to get here. I'll post the final product after I get the goods and embellish the
top for my diy look.

Something knocked me out' the trees

''Cover me, darling please

Hey hey hey,

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey

hey hey

Fox the fox

Rat on the rat

You can ape the ape

I know about that

There is one thing you must be sure of

I can't take any more

Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey

hey hey hey,

Monkey, monkey, monkey

Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey

hey hey

shock the monkey''
by Peter Gabriel (natch)

This reminds me totally of what Margiela has done with hair/wig clothing and I'm inspired to do my own rendition (since I have not access to either physically or financially the originals.) I've ordered two black wigs from Ebay (totally Angelina Jolie in ''Salt''). I'll add the black wig photos shortly. I will attach them to a plain black silk T. You will drool

with envy when you see it! I assure you! Stay tuned.

COVER ME

GIVE ME GIVENCHY

Frickin gorgeous! And unaffordable! Can the last ones be a DIY??? Perhaps with silk T's from Wintersilks (wintersilks.com) as a base with plastic or glass beads sewn under the T? Additional silk T's to make the loose coiled and dangling pieces?
