The Deaconess draws deeply from Byzantine influence. You’ll notice hand worked but somewhat elaborate jewelry, a deep and rich color palette, brocades and tapestry, and tile prints. These details can give a darkly bohemian vibe, or a more worldly sophisticated impression depending on the piece. On each board, I’ve included both formal and casual examples to show how flexible and wearable each style can be. See the board here (will open in new window):

All of my packages include Historical Style Typing, where I help you find and navigate the influences that help create your unique look. Some time periods will have ideal cuts for your body and style goals, and some will have details that are perfect for you. I’ll show you how I use those ancient, antique, or vintage styles as inspiration to create a look that is completely modern and YOU.

Most people are best served by a combination of influences. Book a consult to find yours.
