“ To Clothe The People ”

VOL. I  

♪♪♪

- translating to roughly “To Clothe The People” - stands as the motto for those whose hands wield fabric and needle, whether through gracious generosity or the necessity of mina. At the end of the day, the piece shall be worn on the back of an individual; live and true. The hope is that such pieces - handcrafted by Lady Paloma Galbraith - will make themselves evident to the public via this series of bi-annual catalogs. Each volume is intended to be published with items displayed and available for purchase at Viceroy Road V - located on the top floor of THE DEL LUXURY, Maravilla’s Shop.

around the theme of Summer, specifically the season’s finale - and fall’s introduction. As the seasons change and alter, so too does one’s dressings. Each piece has been given thoughtful penance to not only the aesthetics of such transition between the seasons but also to the climate from which this publication is being made. Hyspia stands in a unique station amid a desert, where her kingdom is graced with the summer sun's heat, who steels her resolve as fall temperatures begin to make haste into the land. Thus, this collection is her pretext. Similarly, this volume seeks to be of a similar intention - a precursor, a gauge of interest. While this volume is small in nature, it is the hope that it will prosper and grow in magnitude - given the proper interest from the community.

An aged Countess-consort, Theodosya von Augusten, let out a cluster of hums as she read through the publishing from the south. 

 

"Mea goodness! The younglings of today's youth certainly have expertise far beyond mea own! Perhaps ea shall sew up a few dresses inspired by such for mea kin - vy never know what garments vy may need some day!" 

 

A smile etched itself across the woman's features, drawing deep into her wrinkles as she carefully set the posting to rest a top her dresser.
