CLAIRE MAHONEY
Claire is a composer of things currently finishing her BFA in Dunedin, the southern-most city of New Zealand. Over the last week she has been stitching ceramic sequins onto woollen jumpers.

Last week Claire found an immaculate young gentleman’s 1930s black taylored dinner suit from the “Butterflies” op-shop next door. Tonight she is wearing this with the pant legs rolled up to the knees revealing burgundy tights. Claire is wearing 1940s black suede “Red cross” lace-ups with ‘just-so’ cuban heels. The dinner jacket is worn over a 1920s black peach-skin jacket with a velvety floral pattern over a 1940s black crepe blouse from the local dump. Claire’s short auburn hair, echoing the colour of her tights, is parted with a curby grip. The ensemble is completed with eyeliner a touch of dark red lipstick.

Today I’m meeting some friends for dinner and I decided to put on my black COMME DES GARÇON drop crotch pants which I haven’t had on in quite a while, these pants are really comfortable but not the most practical to walk stairs up. I’m wearing a white vintage blouse that has buttons on the back and very a intricate pleating in the front, I have had this blouse since months but only started to wear it recently, it just perfectly fits my mood. Over the blouse I’m wearing a long grey cardigan with a hood that has no label, it was from my mum. On top of the cardigan I put on a vintage peach coloured blazer, this blazer was the perfect find. I usually only wear black but have been wanting to put a little more colour into my wardrobe. The shoes I’ll be putting on are high heeled wedges from COS in black leather with a wooden heel from their fw 09 collection, those are the most comfortable heels I have ever owned. Like always I wear my Aquvii hand saw necklace I bought at COLETTE in Paris, some vintage silver rings and my precious ring from Yoolhee Ko a recent Graduate from the Royal Academy of Antwerp. My perfume is the PREEN scent from Six Scents, I’ve been wearing it since September it was a present and fits me perfectly.

It’s the 23rd November 2009 at 20:40 in my room and I’m late for dinner.
