A Supremes Morning in a Kimono Robe

It's the beginning of a long weekend and time to celebrate. I hope the video attached from "Slaves of New York" gets you all in the mood.


Yes, I am still on the Slaves of New York band wagon...


The story behind this clip is that it wasn't in the script... it actually happened during shooting. The performers were asked to rehearse and return in the morning as part of the scene!


I love Eleanor's robe as seen in this video... must put a similar oriental kimono robe on my "want" list... 


Also, a little obsessed with the one Melanie Laurent wears in "Beginners".

Pardon My French to Slaves of New York!

Fashion/Street photographer and illustrator, Garance, has branched out into Video- see Part 2 of her series "Pardon My French". 


Again, I have to go on about the rage for fur ... New York seems so far away - the thought of wearing fur in Perth is slightly ridiculous but I am staring longingly at a vintage faux fur in my wardrobe just waiting to be whipped out this winter.


My real fur fantasy is a green faux fur Stephen Sprouse coat (with tail!) like the character, Eleanor, wears in the quintessential NY/Art Scene movie from the 1989 film "Slaves of New York"... such a great flick.. stay tuned for more eighties love in future posts!

The Curse (or the Blessing) of "The Corduroy"

In my previous blog, "Beginning Again", I disclosed (perhaps embarrassingly so) the idea that my perfect gentleman would wear corduroys... Well, I've just recently seen Pamela Love's (NY jewellery maker extraordinaire) Facebook page ...and found this wonderful little article on the rebirth of the corduroy (for women's wear) that she posted:
Tales of Endearment

(Pamela Love was recently photographed by Terry Richardson, along with a number of other artists, musicians and models touted as the new "New York Cool" for the December edition of British Vogue; check out: www.fashionaporterbypepa.com for the photo-spread).


Now, the last time I wore corduroys was back in 1996 - a Sass and Bide wide flare with, I swear, a zipper that was only 2" long. My mother was with me when I tried them on and said that they were "positively pornographic...".  Hilarious.


I don't know whether I am into "his and hers" corduroys... I'll have to take it in turns with future-corduroy-wearer! Sorry, I can't help myself for inserting another "Royal Tenenbaums' reference, but I'm sure Richie Tenenbaum wore corduroy's but not so sure that his step-sister Margot would be caught dead in them...
