The trousers are the colour of a flowerpot. Deliberately. A black leather bustier, cut on the diagonal at the collarbone. Wide-leg satin trousers in terracotta. No jacket. The bustier holds itself up, which is more than I do before noon. Wear it to dinner. Thin black sandal.

A matte black leather bustier with a diagonal cut-out at the collarbone and a pointed hem, over terracotta satin wide-leg trousers.

A matte black leather bustier cut like armour: high round neck, a diagonal slash from the collarbone down to the cup, seamed cups, a second cut-out at the waist and a hem that drops to a point over the trousers. Sleeveless, so the arms are the print. Under it, terracotta satin wide-leg trousers, pleated at the front, high-waisted, the kind of colour that only works next to black and knows it.

This is a day-to-evening pairing that does not need a jacket: the leather is the structure and the satin is the movement. Spring through early autumn, in a studio with the windows open; in the evening it goes to dinner as it is, with a thin black sandal and the hair left down. The black smartwatch and beaded bracelet stay on, nothing else at the neck, the collarbone cut-out is doing that job.

Leather on top, a sunset on the legs. The plants were not consulted.
