There’s an amazing Ossie Clark snakeskin coat on eBay. As you might recall, I have the jacket version. Unfortunately, the coat is part of a “live auction.” I’ve never bid in one of those on eBay because of all the extra charges. In this case, the “buyer’s premium” is 22.5%! Plus, I don’t like this…

Ossie Clark in Cabaret
Last night, I watched one of my favorite movies, Cabaret, for the first time in years. I was thrilled to realize that Liza Minnelli was wearing the blouse version of an Ossie Clark dress that I own.

Ossie Clark Goes to Dinner
I always figured there was no chance any of you fashion bloggers would rub off on me. I was pretty sure I didn’t have the creativity required to put together your unusual color combinations, create your amazing layered outfits or turn a skirt into a stole a la Little Edie Beale. And I was right!…
