I started to collect mousselines a year and a half ago and they have stolen my heart. So any list of my favorites will have to include my favorite moussies. These are the last three to complete my Baker’s Dozen.
I will begin with my first and, to this day, favorite mousseline: Dimitri Rybaltchenko’s Offrandes d’un Jour. The exotic, wildly colorful florals on the black background make for a masterpiece that is romantic, striking, and so easy to wear. Here are two knots made with this beauty

Another amazing mousseline in my collection is Alice Shirley’s Under the Waves. I am lucky to own two CWs of this masterful swath of silk that depicts the rich and colorful underwater paradise of the Great Barrier Reef. The blending and intermingling of the patterns as the silk is folded adds a dimension that appears as liquid and complex as the ocean

Finally, this year I bought two stoles for the first time and am in awe at their beauty. They are Wlodek Kaminski’s marvelous La Voie Lactee. The colors of these changeants are beyond description. Dramatic and enigmatic, they are true showstoppers. I also own the glow-in-the-dark 90 edition of this design and must include it as it is one of the most rare and unique creations in Hermès history
