Balenciaga

Passing 127 Brick Lane, I saw and loved this girl's Balenciaga jkt. Great little store, carrying a range of carefully hand picked vintage designers to some of the best Belgium and Parisian designers. Some good deals too, on older pieces left over's from the owner's shop in Rome. Sometimes a season or two old, and consequently at a better price.

From the archive

We still haven't been able to get out and about to shoot but here is one from the archive.

Badges

Lots of Flair...

The stripey skirt

Attention to detail...

Two very different but quite elaborate looks. Both with great attention to detail from the hairstyle to the shoes and everything in between.

Red plaid

Vintage Brick Lane

The vintage leopard print jacket and the white Doc Martens.

The black and white shoes

A touch of whimsy in the polkadot skirt and the black and white high brogues...

Black and blue

More headphones... I thought her jacket was really special, and the whole look, tomboy but feminine at the same time.

Italians... Portobello

The red plaid is ubiquitous right now... and here is one of the many examples I will be posting in these coming days. These two illustrate well my obsession with couples that dress alike and are, therefore, part of the same "fashion tribe". I always ask myself if they meet and are attracted because they dress alike, or if one serves as fashion inspiration to the other as the relationship evolves... Any thoughts?
