Hussein Chalayan dress (from Paris 99) / Vintage clutch / Tom Gunn heels
Hello lovelies, I hope you are enjoying the gallery format! After showing you a sneaky of my Hussein Chalayan dress here I knew you craved for more. So keeping in theme with my regression to childhood, I paid a local playground a visit. This dress helped me start 2013 with a clean slate and fresh perspective. Trust the famed Central Saint Martins prodigy to create such a striking dress from a simple shift. Adding ‘real’ human anatomy, albeit futuristic, to the shoulders, the dress fuses fact with fiction, fantasy with realism. I tried adding a necklace or a brooch but they seemed a little meaningless next to such a sleek silhouette. Another lesson of ‘Less is More’ for yours truly. Not sure if you noticed, but there are 3 major shoulder muscles demonstrated in silver, can you help me name them?
Thanks to Diana Vreeland‘s famous quote (that no matter at what age, she will “die young”), and the wise saying from Jesus in Matthew 18:3, being ‘young at heart’ is paramount to our wellbeing. As we bid our adolescence adieu, we lose some of the great qualities that we once possessed: sweet innocence, deep trust, a carefree nature… . So this weekend should the weather permit, why don’t you revisit your childhood and visit your local park for some monkeybar merriment?
[spoiler title=”中文版”]当我在这里给你们看了我的Hussein Chalayan 裙子，我知道你一定想更完整地看到它。在这里我承认我越来越幼稚，因此哪有比公园更适合照这条裙子？干净的线条，安静的灰色，它使我在2013的年首就认识到清静的重要性。英国著名的服装学院毕业生Hussein Chalayan是世界一流的裁缝设计师。他将一条简单的裙子变得那么引人注目。他在肩膀上加了未来性的人体部分，这条裙子是未来与现在，幻想与现实的结合。 我原想加根项链或胸针，但发现它们的点缀毫无意义。你看， 我到如今还在学习“少就是多”这个重要的原则。你有没有发现这条裙子的肩膀上含有三大肌肉?你能认出它们吗？
哦，倘若这周末的天气不错，不然你也去拜访你附近的公园去玩？[/spoiler]

Cool dress! I’m totally onboard with the young at heart philosophy. I believe playing is important to our wellbeing no matter what age we are! Also, tbh I can never resist a playground, I love swings and monkey bars (they are great gyms ;D).
Going back and looking over your blog lovely, love this on you, and so carefree on the playground, ps, please don’t sleep in it haha! Great to see you this week :) xx
