Dressing down

Acne angora knit sweater (cream version here), Lover labyrinth lace dress, Alexander Wang kori oxfords, Proenza Schouler PS11 bag, Karen Walker rings (rabbit & heart) Darker days seem to call for darker wardrobe choices, with black on black on black making an appearance more than once over the past couple of weeks.

Bryan Boy at MBFWA 2013

It was hard to miss Bryan Boy on the first day of MBFWA, wearing a printed sweater by Christopher Kane which struck me as something of a novelty, an ode to youth, and of course those incredible studded Prada loafers.
