Cobalt leather blazer with a silver sequin draped skirt

A fitted cobalt leather blazer with square padded shoulders over a silver sequin skirt draped to an asymmetric hem, with chunky chelsea boots.

A blazer in smooth cobalt leather, fitted hard through the waist and built up square at the shoulders, with notched lapels, a single button and a hem that dips into two points at the front. The sleeves are ruched up the forearm. Under it, a skirt in silver sequins, gathered and knotted at one hip so it drapes diagonally across the front and falls to a long point on the other side, short on one leg and past the knee on the other.

Sequins in daylight need something blunt: black chunky chelsea boots with a lug sole, no tights. The leather does the structure, the sequins do the noise, the boots make sure nobody thinks it is a party. Spring and autumn, a concrete wall at eleven in the morning.

Sequins before lunch. The concrete had no comment.
