It dawned on me that Fashion Week is right around the corner… And I really don’t know what to wear. I look in my closet, and most of it, is a collection of bits and pieces from thrift shoppes, consignment places, H&M, and Loehmans. I really don’t spend that much money on one piece, because I love the act of gathering (aka, shopping). So for fashion week, I want to represent and support local designers, by wearing an indie designed piece. I really love Naik Fur, the process and form is something that really speaks to me. So I checked out her shoppe on Smashing Darling, and found this beautiful jersey knit top. It’s like a piece of sculpture. Here’s the description:
white manipulated jersey knit top. experiment with elastic. designed with ties to be styled into a wrap. which ever way you please.
I think the reason why I bought it, was because I could imagine several different outfits with it, and ways to layer it. with a tight long sleeve t-shirt underneath, with a pencil skirt, with shorts… a leather mini… whatever. Clothing that inspires, is probably the best clothing one can acquire.And you know I’ve been thinking about boots for some time now… After looking at Net-A-Porter, seeing the Chloe Boots made me wish I was loaded. Since I’m not, I found these Report Valerie boots in brown for on Zappos.com $107. They got excellent reviews, so I figure, hey, I’m looking for autumn boots anyway….
hope we get shots of you modelling the incredible naik fur eventually. i love everything i see of hers but its too bad to mostly see it just on mannequins.
beautiful piece! i’ve been checking out her site ever since you interviewed her, beautiful things. yes, can’t wait to see how you transform it! i really like the ruff like collar, lovely + femenine.
