Dahlia Drive – bodies of art

Dahlia Drive creates visual poems with preloved materials

“A poem begins with a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a love sickness. It is a reaching out toward expression; an effort to find fulfillment. A complete poem is one where an emotion finds the thought and the thought finds the words.” – Robert Frost

…Dahlia Drive’s mission is truly inspiring. The idea that fashion can be sustainable and environmentally friendly speaks volumes to her commitment to innovative artistry.

If I had a million dollars,I would give my wife a shorefront summer home near Crescent Beach, full of furniture I designed and had made by Jabez custom furniture. Before driving out to the new home in her replica Intermedica vintage Porsche, we’d have dinner at Lift restaurant, where I’d give her a new pair of shoes I designed especially for her, along with lingerie from Christine Morton, jewellery from Pyrrha, and an outfit from Wendy Van Riesen of Dahlia Drive. Then at Christmas, I would give her the real gift: the confirmation and reassurance that she and she alone is the queen of my heart and my soul’s only desire.

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this dress……it is going to be my wedding dress!

….this is definitely the most beautiful clothing in my closet!
