Evening Dress
Michael Sherard 
Spring/Summer 1958
This dress was designed by Michael Sherard (1910–98) for his acclaimed 1958 spring collection. The flamenco dress was a recurring theme in 1950s cocktail and evening wear. Sherard’s version has a bell-like skirt and train made entirely of lace, his trademark fabric.

How great is this? I’m fairly sure you might still see this kind of dress today, only normally not as beautifully made.

  • Black, gold and little appliqués; from a nail art kit that, helpfully, just says ‘nail art’ all over it.

Sometimes I Wish…
In the 80s, there was a moment when it was de rigueur to wear about ten Swatch watches at once. In that vein, sometimes I wish that I had more than two feet, so I could wear more shoes at once. Then again, that would be a little odd, hmm? To see an album of some of my social shoe shots, click here, by the way. 

My dream.
