Trousers, body and jacket all Wolford A/W 2010.

Handbag Lara Bohinc

Inspiration 60’s, Barbarella, Veruschka.

This outfit has caused quite a stir: Some people get it some dont. “j_muleba on twitter btw you look hawwwt at Gatwick in that outfit” VS “looks like an anorexic friesian” comment, there is a moment when you are getting criticised that makes you want to go, ugh i’m just gonna play safe,  stick to some sort of prescribed trend. But that’s not what i’m here for, i experiment with the way i dress so as to see what works, yes sometimes some people dont like the results, but you cant please everyone all the time, the result would be anodyne and homogenised, at least in the process of experimentation new ideas are born. They usually just  take a while to catch on.

Jacket from Roland Mouret, Glasses as always from Retrosuperfuture

Unlike many male designers i feel the masculinity Roland Mouret brings to his garments are like the secrets of why Saville Row has such an under current of power, these clothes know how to arm you to look sharp. He doesnt over sexualise women nor morph into something alien or ugly, they are pieces which craft the body, they both hide and reveal to be oh so flattering. A while back it was rumoured that ’someone’ from Roland Mouret was working on the Victoria Beckham label. Whilst being really impressed with the VB pieces as they are beautifully constrcted and in really great fabrics, i still dont think i could buy into a ‘designer’ piece with a label that said Victoria Beckham on it and almost put me off Roland Mouret. But not quite.

Spex by Retro Super Future – Ciccio Black

Their website says  Extra Large, Extra Strong, Extra Thick. The Super Ciccio is not for the faint of heart (Sounds also like my perfect boyfriend)

This outfit isn’t as simple to describe as the last ones as it was less off the peg and more DIY

Sometimes when  a bit of outfit inspiration is needed i  go to  Style.com and refresh my memory on the catwalk looks before they are in all the mags, i try to build looks around pieces i own already. For this one i was looking at Dolce Gabanna S/S Catwalk show. I channelled (or possibly Chanel’ed) Black and white, lace/fishnet, floral

Jean Paul Gaultier lace dress, black and white chenille bow head band procured at Liberty at different times. White flower ring from a shop on Rue De Rivoli in Paris. One Westwood Pearl earring from Bang Bang, one CC earring from Chanel. Bright pink bra Stylists own ha ha, white nails.
