'Black satin and tulle bra top with gold metal jewellery, quilted satin zipped chaps, stretch tulle shorts, Pascale for Against All Oz; quilted satin bag, Philippines; leather shoes, Office Shoes. “We wanted a kind of Cowboy look so we made the chaps and carried the dance hall style through with gold buttons. Girls were wearing things like Wonderbras so we decided to make it in a Chanel-style quilted fabric with a sort of bustier top. I’d wear it with a pair of black shorts but a lot of girls would wear it with just a G-string under the netting" (Pascale).' |
