This photo is not a close up of the minute details of this terrific little piece, but more of a lifestyle suggestion, for when you all wear it. Truly my intention is that, although it has satin lapels and is clearly a mini dinner jacket, we all wear it instead of a cardigan. It needs to be worn tight and because of it’s deconstructed feel it’s very comfy. Do not be afraid of the tailored Tuxedo allure as you can see what I’ve done with it. I’ve dragged it down to sweatpants level, but I’d be totally happy to put some heels on with that same outfit and show up for a mojito or a hot chocolate, depending how late I’d stayed! Black velvet is a gatecrasher, it will take you anywhere you want to go, and it’s shoulders will rub along nicely with everyone once you’re there. Do not hang about deciding whether you want this or not as it’s currently on sale at Mango and if people know what’s good for them, they’ll grab it and start flaunting. @Mango
The Model Edit
About me
During my career, as an international Fashion model, I have clocked up a few miles on the world’s catwalks, sat in the make up artist’s chair for hundreds of hours, and been teased, backcombed and groomed by hairdressers for the same number of hours. I’ve been lucky enough to work as a model, for magazines, designers and directors in both beautiful, and mad places, shooting covers, and commercials. I am a style spy!
