Report from the exhibition
by susanna lau of Stylebubble
I can die happy. I’ve had the opportunity to wear the infamous cherry hat by Piers Atkinson that has adorned the head of the fabulous Anna Dello Russo. I may even prefer the hat in the inky shade of dark blue. Might be a bit
of family bias going on here, but I had to pick out this Elizabeth Lau (she’s my cousin!) velvet shirt dress that just needed a “cherry on the top”. Fiona Paxton is consistent with her jewellery, playing with chain formations that are always interesting. It might have been
an overkill, but I did a Helena Bonham Carter and tried a bit of mismatching with Tracey Neuls’s TN_29 lace-up heels. Carter isn’t the first, and I doubt she will be the last to don a pair of bi-colourway shoes, and I’ll certainly be giving the look a go once I take the plunge and buy two pairs of shoes in different colours.
