Closet Case Studies with Sarah Harris and Bay Garnett

Is your closet a phenomenally organized space or a chaotic mess or somewhere in between?  My closet seems to be, unfortunately,  in a perpetual state of chaos.  It is not nearly big enough, so I have bits here and there and things I have not worn in years are too accessible and things I could be wearing more often are not accessible enough - or worse yet, findable.  It is a work in progress...

I really enjoyed this video on British Vogue of Sarah Harris, with the sleek flowing grey locks, and Bay Garnett with the wild bobby pin hair.  I do love Sarah Harris' slightly odd free standing padded  cell closet - but felt like we just did not get to see enough - and Bay Garnett's magpie pile up of vintage, this and that, and a divorce inducing Marc Jacobs jacket was pretty fab and very real...  oh, and hello!  we get to see the inspiration for the famous Chloe banana shirt!

See for yourself and enjoy!

Kate Moss, British Vogue and the John Galliano Camiknicker

camiknicker

noun
a piece of women's underwear consisting of a light top to cover the upper body, connected to a pair of knickers
Cambridge Dictionary

Camiknicker is such a great word don't you think?  I don't think you would be able to go into the lovely new lingerie department at Barneys (one of the few new departments I actually like that Barneys renovated...) and ask for a camiknicker.  But at RARE vintage, you could go in and say, "I saw the most beautiful John Galliano camiknicker in the December British Vogue on Kate Moss with John Galliano, would you happen to have that one??"  And the answer you would hear would be, "Why yes, we have that exact one!"

You can see in these detail photos just how exquisite this piece is - all of the hand work and the different silks.  Really beautiful and romantic...  I LOVE these early Galliano pieces...
