Like My Bra? Hold The Applause …

I’m a huge supporter of stylish adaptive clothing but I’m not sure this ‘Clap-Off’ Bra quite hits the mark? Supposedly for arthritis sufferers, and anyone else struggling with clasps, the front fastening springs open if you clap – not something to wear to the theatre then or, indeed, any event where applause is the order […]

Art To Wear: Ziemska Art Felt Scarf

Slippers: Shoot Me Now …

My life is over. I am seriously beginning to look at these slippers – velcro and all – and think, “Ooh … comfy … I want.” £55! Against £2000 for my painful bespoke shoes. If you are going to have no style, better to pay a lot less for it, no? Mentioned it to D. […]

We Three Kings: Issey Miyake

Looking through fashion illustrator Gladys Perint Palmer‘s book, Fashion People, I came across an illustration titled ‘We Three Kings …’ done in 1994, referring to Miyake, Yahamoto and Rei Kawakubo – photo by me attached here: Having huge amounts of Miyake in my own wardrobe from a couple of decades ago, I was driven to […]

I Can Make Shoes

What a great idea. I can make shoes. I stumbled across this website today and have immediately filed it for future reference. Finally, a demystifying of the process… My inability to find well-designed footwear for my swollen feet is a subject I have come back to again and again. My one attempt at a bespoke […]

Sunday browsing: Grazia Vozza Earrings

Reading Saturday’s How To Spend It – like I need the help, right? – magazine from the FT, there was mention of jewellery by Grazia Vozza, a shop on the island of Capri. Googled it. Love it. Especially the earrings above … so me … but from the 2012 range sold by Bergdorf’s so probably […]

Looks I love …

Browsing one of my favourite interiors magazines this week, Elle Decor I think it was, I snapped this picture because I love, love, love this top, the trousers, the shoes. It is so how I see me in my mind’s eye still. Isn’t the fabric, design and colour of the top just too divine? And […]
