Vintage unknown dress, Pollini leather jacket, Geox boots, furry collar

As a member of the red hair population - heard of the 2%? - I've often been told that with regards to certain colours - I'm looking at you hot pink - it's best to take a pass and let the 98% have the crazy colour fun... (Hot pink post coming up next week). Treading brightly but delicately in orange territory to avoid conjuring any pumpkin imagery, I found this dress in a Victoria BC vintage store last year. I immediately thought "MARNI!!" I like the minimalist structured cream top - which is actually a physical overlay with the orange attached to a sheer mesh-like structure underneath. And we have instant colour blocking...

the trenches of Casablanca

two vintage trenches, leather boots with strass detail from Italy, Gina Tricot headband,
H&M feather clip, Calvin Klein mens shirt, linen pants from Italy

A special set of photos with my love at the aviation museum, shot by Georgie Wilson and Jesse Holland. We wanted to pay homage to the airplane theme of our long distance relationship that has seen us taking many trips between Canada and Italy. What could be more fitting and romantic than these riveted old aircraft and two vintage trench coats?

Last year I was approached by a talented young photographer from Holland who was studying in Milan. I packed a few clothing pieces and met her at the Brera Art Academy. Shooting with her was a pleasure and I think she has a long and brilliant career ahead of her.

Below are two looks, more to come.

fringe-happy spy dress

One of my favourite fashion movies is Arabesque starring Gregory Peck and Sophia Loren. The outfits are impeccable and every time I watch this film I feel this overwhelming desire to be transported into the storyline of one of these timeless Bond-like spy flicks. This dress, a flawless vintage silk fringed number I found a couple months ago, takes me straight there.
