Vanessa Friedman in the FT, Marco Zanini’s Schiaparelli couture debut: not so shocking, may have been underwhelmed but I’m feeling instant passion for this fabulous afro/stripe concoction, above.
For anyone who thinks it looks like a sack or is not an advocate of shapeless for plus sizes (get out of here if you’ve ever uttered the words ‘it’s like a sack…’), I have this to say to you: Abstract Art, darlings.
That’s what it is all about. Â It is the heart of my message for those of us on wheels too.
No fuss. Â No frills. Â Distil to the essential simplicity of shape and wear with pride whether you be a box, triangle, rectangle, square, spiral or pyramid. Â Make it interesting. With colour and pattern if you wish. Â Just Live It. Â Wild and in style. Â Are you with me?
