Fashion thoughts

glittertiggerI've been reading lots of fashion history over the last couple of weeks and have also been watching the Style on Trial series on BBC Four. And I've been musing over what it takes to create great, wearable style. Just now I looked at the last few shots on The Sartorialist and I'm not sure I've seen anything more exciting than some of what's being created now. If you have a minute, take a look at today's close-up of Luca Rubinacci (great use of both colours and patterns), or the stunning red-head, or the fabulously chic but playful lady with the stripy tights. About 15 shots down is an older lady (the title is Sand, Grey and Brown) with a phenomenal sense of colour and proportion.
I'm resolving to be more playful with my clothes myself and as I write this, am curled up in a stripy Clements Ribeiro poncho which I have fallen in love with. I spent today doing personality tests with the outplacement consultants who are helping me work out what to do next with my life (my ex-employer is paying them to do this!) and the Birkman test very accurately listed my top three interests as literature, visual arts and science. What can I do next that would suit me as well as making beautiful papers and learning about printing techniques? All ideas very welcome.
