Lace on the arms, leather over the top. Priorities. A black leather corset, over a sand mesh top with black lace flowers down the sleeves, black wide-leg trousers cut out at the waistband, lug-sole boots. Nice sculptures. I did not look. Openings, then whatever follows.
A black leather corset over a sand mesh top with black lace applique, with cut-out wide-leg trousers and lug-sole boots in a gallery.
The corset is black leather with panel seams and vertical boning, a short, hard shape that sits over a sand mesh top with long sleeves and black lace flowers appliqued across the yoke and down the arms. The trousers are black, high-waisted and very wide, with cut-outs at the waistband and a side slit up the right leg that opens over the shin tattoo. Chunky lug-sole chelsea boots underneath, so the whole thing is grounded rather than precious.
It is a gallery outfit: concrete walls, a few sculptures, light from a wall of glass. The mesh reads as solid sand from a distance and as lace up close, which is the point. Wear it to an opening, a dinner after, or any evening that wants a corset without a dress. Spring through autumn; add a long coat when it turns.
The sculptures were lovely. I was not there for the sculptures.
