“Clouds of Glory” is how Vogue described these three beauties. They are designer Muriel King, dancer Florence Meyer, and Princess Nathalie, as seen by the artist Pavel Tchelitchew, who drew them in the manner of characters from the ballet “Errante,” (“Wandering”), for which he designed the sets and costumes.

The only place I’m traveling these days with an American passport is the good old Land of Nod. Yes, sleep is a welcome escape from pre-election and pandemic jitters. It also seems to be a preoccupation with designers, which makes sense with many bedrooms having become makeshift offices.

Interiors have proven inspirational for spring. The downy duvet got a makeover at Fendi and Jordan Dalah, for instance. Lounge wear might be trending, but spring is not a season of pajama dressing; flowing white nightgowns and sheerer déshabillés are the news. Borrowing from the boudoir, these looks are meant to see the light of day. There is a freshness to these frocks; many also have a cloudlike lightness. You might just call them dream dresses.
