Every now and then one comes across a piece of clothing that justifies the very existence, persistence and indispensability of vintage and doesn’t need any explanation…. 60’s Lanvin dress (for sale at pinkclouds.com), vintage necklace (recent purchase from Olga’s Retro in Belgium), vintage black patent leather bag with floral print (from Le Grand Strip Vintage in Williamsburg), black Lanvin-inspired, patent leather shoes (from Printemps in Paris) and plastic flower rings (from Shikasuki in London).

And if you’re wondering why I am wearing a wig, ask Marianna Rothen, this week’s photographer and Wednesday’s muse!
