Wardrobe Alter Ego: Graphic Glamour
The model on the cover of No. 24 Auntheuil, Else, has a “Graphic Glamour” style. When I dressed her in this s outfit, she was so in love with it and could see herself wearing it on so many occasions. Especially for fancy dinner parties. In the post fra last week, I told more about my “wardrobe alter egos”, and You can read more about that story here.
Who is the Graphic Glamour-woman, then?
The woman who loves graphic glamour loves statement jewellery, solid colours and graphic lines in her clothing and to the print of the fabrics she likes. If this is you, a classic for you isn't the little black dress; it's maybe a green jumpsuit or a two-piece set like the one in the picture. You love two-piece because it gives you the opportunity to play with your wardrobe and make the most out of what you have.
Your clothes need to be comfortable, but you will prioritise and maintain your overall look and the cut to your clothing. For example, you can't walk in high heels a whole day, but then you have a pair of flat shoes in a big statement bag that goes with your outfit. You want your clothes to radiate fun and happiness, but you also want to look sophisticated and be taken seriously- You love luxurious fabrics with wow-effect.
Fabrics
You love stripes and check fabrics, but not in a classical way - you want them to be big, bold and loud. You want to reinvent the classics. If you fall in love with a flower fabric, it might be big flowers or something a bit abstract, not too realistic. On the other hand, you love colours and fall in love with vital colours. At House Of Fabrics, our fabric shop, you would like the fabrics seen below.

What speaks to you are graphic lines and structure. You like lines that will cough the curious eye. Your clothes must simultaneously tell the story of you being funny and serious - but always with a twist of glitter and glamour. So you will find these patterns in your collections and wardrobe:
Jewellery
For you, jewellery is a part of the story around your look. You like having a lot of jewellery in many colours, so you always have something that matches your outfit. Jewellery is a big part of our wardrobe. To you, a big statement necklace can easily be the centrepiece of an outfit as long the clothes compliments it and lets it shine. However, on the other hand, you don't like small, petite and delicate jewellery. You may love a brand like Monies.
Weekday vs Special occasions
Maybe people will say that you looked dressed up for your everyday life because you love colours and jewellery. However, when attending a party you just give it a notch up. You will with ease wear the same on a Wednesday at work, and on a Saturday evening, you will just add some more flamboyant shoes and significant earrings. You don't have two separate wardrobes; one for parties and one for everyday use; you have one wardrobe you use in many different ways by mixing and matching what you already have. You love everyday glamour and luxury.
