This fortnight’s issue
The trick is the order, and the thinner coat goes on first. I tried six pairs on one wet Saturday on the terrace behind my street, with a friend holding the umbrella and the camera.
This fortnight I go through the three pairs that worked, how to choose the length of the second coat, and why a belt belongs under the top layer or not at all.
Plus: a scarf pinned to stay put, and your questions on layering.
Outfits
What I wore for a week of park walks and early starts.
Sewing
Cutting, pinning and sewing one piece at my bedroom table.
Details
Small details that make a scarf stay where I put it.
Brand work
What happens when the softbox goes up in a stone hall.
Talks
What I said, what I was asked and what I'd say now.
Pearl pin, hidden pin and the knot I always come back to.
Next issue: Thursday 26 November
One outfit, one longer feature and a fabric worth knowing. Free, and it always will be.
