I haven’t seen many vintage Ossie Clark sweaters. I recently posted about the only one that I own here. Not my favorite photo Well, right now, on eBay, there’s an Ossie Clark cardigan with very similar detailing to my sweater. That means that if you get it, we could wear them together and be twins!…

Ossie Clark Sweaters
I’m on an Ossie Clark blogging kick. Here’s a famous 1968 photo of Ossie wearing his own shirt and patchwork belt with a sweater made by his mother. Photo source: Another Nickel in the Machine Here’s a not-at-all-famous photo of me wearing my only Ossie Clark sweater. I’ve never managed to find a lot of…
eBay Picks of the Day: Kansai Yamamoto
Kansai Yamamoto is a Japanese designer who did costumes for David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust days. The Ziggy Stardust Companion has a great page on the costumes here. Embed from Getty Images I’m pretty sure Bowie is wearing his Yamamoto short kimono without the cape — but presumably with the matching hot pants —…
This Has Grrrrr-own on Me
I’ve gone from being amused by this kitschy Maison Martin Margiela bag to craving it. The style of my bad-ass blonde friend from 1983 must be influencing me, because you know she would have loved this bag. She probably would have hung a feathered roach clip from it.

That sweater is totally what…

It’s a nubby off-white acrylic knit, and was apparently made for either a Yeti, or a knuckle-dragging caveman. The sleeves hang way down past the bottom of the sweater….
Deja Vu All Over Again
While browsing eBay instead of working on my website like I should be doing, I came across this vintage dress. Source: Brown Bettie Vintage “You remind me of someone,” I said to the dress. What!? I can talk to dresses if I like. Jebus! Don’t judge. Anyway, sure enough, here is its sweater soulmate, made…
Models and White Powder
My adorable designer friend Zang Toi showed his Adirondacks-inspired fall 2008 collection at Bryant Park today. You can see a video of the whole show here. (Select “shows” and then mouse over the images for his name. Unfortunately it doesn’t have the rockin’ music he really used.) Check out the fake snow sprinkled around the…
