This sinks into your bones like fairy dust.

wg_ss14_campaign_main_3_web_1columnwg_ss14_campaign_main_4_web_1column

A flavour of the eighties except the more conventional ending flashes past.

A silky intensity exuding pure class, you get a sense of high..and those shoes certainly help…

If Rachel Comey and I met we’d be BFs.  Seriously.

Comey_006_1366.683x1024

Her latest AW14 Collection is full of  laid back loucheness that manages to sing of both ease and statement.

Neoprene? No. Let’s beautifully quilt everything that moves.

The colours..

The coat..

It takes nerve to be so every day, but this Collection packs a punch and leaves a powerful sense of self.

I freely admit I am behind the curve on the whole Game  of Thrones phenomena.  Forsooth, I only devoured my first box set after New Year..but I’m learning fast.  The obessesion has bitten and Season 2 is already underway – of course the joy of coming late to the party? There’s no horrible wait for next Seasons to start (yet)..they’re all lined up like the most delectable dishes at a banquet.  But it’s not only the storyline, I’m also smitten by the fashions..and it’s the men’s rather than the ladies: The leather, the studding, the macho winter layering and enormous shaggy shoulders.  I lust.  A little bit of searching revealed that Helmut Lang’s 2012 Fall Collection was inspired by the series.  And how very very appropriate it looks as the Polar Vortex attempts to do it’s worst.  I’d bet good gold that that sheepskin coat above would be ready to…
