Whenever I visit my friends that I haven't seen in awhile one of the first things that we do (after cocktails of course) is a rummage through their closets. 


This is one of my favorite things to do, not only do I get to see their new finds and hear their funny and wonderful stories about their finds,  I end up with fun things for myself and even a few gems for future auctions.

Here are some of my fantasy wardrobe picks. If  these are hidden in your closet, you know how to reach me.


Many more fabulous finds at Kerry's next auction so be sure to check out the online catalog!

Who Needs A Matisse? VIVIENNE WESTWOOD


In my spare time I've been reading art books. Call me a nerd but if I'm not looking at clothing I'm looking at art antiques and rare books.
Since I'm just starting the chapter on Matisse this wonderful piece caught my eye.
Lot 1016  
Vivienne Westwood `Nostalgia of Mud' (Buffalo) collection printed cotton jersey toga dress,
Autumn-Winter, 1982-3, World's End labelled,
  cut shorter at the front and with long train-like panel printed in dark brown with Matisse inspired motifs
Estimation
£700-£1000
Much less expensive that a Matisse of course and just think of how great you'll look.
