Some time ago I posted an outfit with an Ivan Grundahl top. See here: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXA40HuDEswENLxIQRnpoopOMeWjNMij2wgY_2yzwDYV2n0DrDfWBXewS8Likubgv_z3ZQypuKGkccfy1thvRtlGe5FQxnHjMnb6xghRNoc5ddsDyYYJpFU_sIyUcXdutWwDbPOWXkj0M/s1600-h/IMG_2202.JPGIvan Grundahl is a Danish designer with a rather conceptual point of view. You can check his recent work here: http://www.ivangrundahl.dk/index.php.
A local store had a few pieses by him last season. Although his stuff is expensive, most of the items in that store sold before getting down to my comfort price point; but I did manage to get the top for a tenth of the price.
This is the type of design you can never copy without having the original on hand. Recently I copied the pattern, made few (not significant) changes (lengthened it, neckline is a bit different), and replicated it in lightweigh wool jersey that ( I think) I bought from EOS awhile ago. The last picture shows the shape of the top.
BTW, I ordered the shoes from yoox.com for my birthday next month ( as present from DH), and although they are obviously very high, I really like the intricasy, the detail, everything. They just arrived and I still have not decided whether to keep them (because of the height), but wanted to have a picture with them!

just love the top you made, and thanks for the link to this designer I did not know about before your post.
Really love the top and by all means keep the shoes.
OMG--those shoes! I envy anyone who can walk in them! But, really, it doesn't matter if a person can walk in them or not does it? Just to have them as a table decoration would be terrific!
I love that you can draft whatever pattern you want. What a skill to have. The top is fantastic and you are looking lovely. Get plenty of rest.
Looks like Vogue 8651... Pretty!
