Jacqueline Durran-costume designer

I'm a big fun of period films for many reasons,one of them is fashion;and by fashion i mean the costumes are special designed for the movie and not only travel us back to this period but also teach us fashion history.So this post is dedicated to one of my favorite costumes designers..

Jacqueline Durran is a British costume designer. She won the BAFTA award for Vera Drake. She received considerable attention for her work in Pride & Prejudice, for which she received an Oscar nomination and won a Satellite Award. She was nominated for Best Costume Design in the 80th Academy Awards for her work in Atonement.

a Greek company founded in 2011 that makes shoes inspired by ancient Greek goddesses, nymphs and muses,called

Ancient Greek Sandals

 Ancient Greek Sandals are handmade locally by skilled craftsmen using traditional techniques that have existed for centuries

According to an ancient Greek myth, the gods and goddesses had their sandals made
on the beautiful island of Crete by a gifted sandal maker who enriched each pair with
magical powers.
Famous for having made the flying sandals for Hermes, the sandal maker also embellished them with his personal signature... a ‘golden wing’ buckle.
