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.

It’s a rainy night here in L.A. I’m wearing a short THAKOON black tie-dye print dress with a vintage tan leather belt that used to belong to my mother. Underneath, I have on a pair of black crochet tights from J.CREW. To keep warm, I’ve added a black and white striped scarf from India and a burgundy velvet blazer from J.CREW with the sleeves folded up to show the marigold-yellow satin lining. I’d like to wear a pair of embroidered lace-up red canvas slippers bought in S.F. Chinatown last summer, but due to the weather will probably end up wearing my vintage black cowboy boots that I’ve had since I was 15.

January 22, 6:20pm: getting ready to go out to dinner on Abbot Kinney Road with D.

I am wearing a navy silky turtleneck from COS and to keep warm (as I am not wearing much of a shoe today—see below)
I am wearing a black oversize ACNE mohair cardigan and a grey coat without a collar by HOPE. My pants are UNIQLO black skinny jeans in a 3/4 lenght. 
Burgundy silk socks inside black tai-chi slippers from chinatown/nyc, and these even if it’s raining outside but to keep extra warm everywhere else, I wear my black HERMÈS cashmere scarf and grey leather gloves by ROECKL. Overall a very warm outfit, besides the shoes of course.

Accessory or perfume: dior ‘bois d’argent’ perfume and black HOPE oversize canvas bag (inside: a pair of black desert boots from a collaboration by JIL SANDER with CLARKS a couple of years ago. Just in case rain gets too much on the slippers)

Dec 8th, at home, arriving from the airport, after a trip to Stockholm.
