Monochrome

I'm starting to enjoy the simplicty of a monochrome wardrobe. Even though I complained about it at the beginning of this blog.

I'm enjoying black. I'm enjoying black combined with blue - any kind of blue. I'm enjoying grey combined with shades of grey. I'm even, I dread to say, enjoying white - even white pants and shorts.

I've got plans man. I'm planning a vest, different from the last i've made. I'm planning a tartan jacket, with highlights of yves klein blue (very topical), reminiscent of beatles backs and wings. I'm planning linen trousers and shorts.

Light weight wool is on my mind, fo summer, and light weight jersey again.

I think Kris Van Assche is a genius. I really do. I think his work for Dior is stunning, and his work for his own label amazing. at 31 the guy is a genius.
I get the feeling this isn't a world wide thought, that every one is still enamoured with Heidi Slimane. Well I blame him for the shit sillhouttes that abound in menswear in Melbourne. it's filtered down so badly I can hardly stand to walk down the street any more.

I'm discovering some old companys. Lanvin, Longchamp. I found my vintage Christian Dior Monsenior Dove blue shirt.
I need to go the shop I found it in and scramble around it again.

I'm in love with wool. but I don't know how it fares as a summer fabric. is there such a thing as light weight wool? I must discover, or find an alternative. I need a new wardrobe.
