Show: Friday Happy Blues…
Tell: Ken Done vintage glasses, earrings handmade by and gifted from Iain, Tatty Devine fish necklace, Jessica Dance necklace, Reg Mombassa ‘Mambo’ singlet from op shop, Saba belt, Ken Done vintage handmade skirt from eBay, tights from Japan, Fluevog boots.
Share: I have no real interest in surf wear, but I have a deep love for the art of Reg Mombassa (Chris O’Doherty). I saw a retrospective of his artwork in Sydney a few years ago and felt completely inspired by his art practice. So when I found me some vintage Reg Mombassa art via this ‘Mambo’ shirt in an op shop, I grabbed it *hard* with both hands, with no plans to let go anytime soon.
A shout out too, to darling Frances at Corpulent for our shared love of Mombassa (amongst many other things)! xo
The Social Outfit work-wise, I’m back into the swing of things (now only with what I’m calling a *stabby* appendix), with an excellent fundraising meeting with Antonia and David from our Committee last night. Progress, progress.
You in Ken and Reg is PERFECTION. Their clothing is wearable art, which is why I love it so much. And you understand that, which is why I love you so much. xx
Wearable Art. Wearable Art! Can I get a *WOOT, WOOT* for Wearable Art?!
Clapping for you also, dear Frances <3
