john rochas

by the time i was in antwerp

i was really over being stingy and shabbily dressed

i discovered an incredible store slash cafe called RA

selling mostly belgian designs, but included european designers john rochas and bruno pieters

i bought this dress in black

i like how although silk is soft and lacks shape

the velvet details forces the skirt to have a victorian crinoline vibe

i like the fluff collar but it was 99 euro

considering wearing this dress with a thick belt made of black satin gloves in summer

and turtleneck and tapestry patterned tights in winter.

i ate a celery and citrus soup at the avantgarde cafe

and it tasted like hot orange juice with spring onions

that's fashion baby
