Something a little bit different with this stunning look, worn to a recent event at the Civic Centre in downtown Ipswich. Rather than my usual florid colour or large-scale florals, I've chosen a sculptural white neoprene midi dress with pleated high neckline, exposed back zipper & long back split from celebrated Australian designer Mossman & for high contrast, I've styled it up with a pair of black vegan leather dual buckle heels from vintage-inspired label Kitten D'Amour & a black 90s style vinyl shoulder bag from Sussan to carry all the essentials including the omnipresent facemask & hand sanitizer. When it came to jewellery, I chose two special pieces featuring work by one of my all-time favourite artists, Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) an Italian painter & sculptor who found his muse in cosmopolitan cafes of Paris - a resin & vulcanised rubber limited edition Swatch watch that features his "Portrait of Dedie" (1918) & a chunky silver, resin & paper bangle from the Musee de l'Orangerie Gift Shop I picked up on holidays in Paris a few years ago that features his masterwork, "Reclining Nude on a White Cushion" (1919) - to complete the look.
