Unfortunately this fantastic news has thrown me into a hysterical state of anxiety mixed with euphoria. I'm currently trying to pack but have realised I don't own any clothes to speak of! If I had my way I'd be swishing past the Eiffel Tower in a lab coat and jewels like my current sartorial obsession, Ms Helena Rubinstein
The hints of Helena in Giles' Resort '13 collection hit my nerd reflex and I went researching until I couldn't take my eyes off this picture. I love the contrast of the severe labcoat and puffy sleeves. I love the lab setting and the lipstick, the harmony of the polished 'do and the perfectly ordered scientific instruments. I've also always had a thing for creepy medical/scientific things (not in a way where I find a speculum a recreational tool for fun outside the gyno office, I just think creepy photos of early 20th century nurses etc. fascinating)
Anyway, I'm stressed and tired and have clearly forgotten how to write coherent sentences, so here are some of the pictures floating around Anna's head at the moment....let's call it 'Helena Rubinstein and Diana Vreeland open a meth lab'
Just some unstructured thoughts...
I promise to be a proper blogger in Paris! xx
YOU'RE GOING TO PARIS TOMORROW!? I am indeed jalouse! (That's French for jealous, right? Right?)
ReplyDeleteHave a ball you fancy lady! I expect to see photos of you in a lab coat upon your return! xx
