My preferred childhood costume: “I wore a suede jacket for my father until parts of it hangs to tea” | fashion

I I love the old tanned jacket of my father. He had as long as I could remember, an artifact from his shake more, and it was worn in the smoothness of butter. When the lining is finally disintegrated, and diluted the tanned skin to the imminent forgetfulness, decided to retire. But I couldn’t bear her vision.

I tried it and felt wonderfully – like a chip of old mass. It was not heavy at all, and the smoothness extends to the buttons that were covered in matching materials from the suede. Certainly, he had a Zanjar from London dirt and the smell of old tobacco Holborn, but I thought he was great. I was about 13 years old and I was unable to buy a deer leather jacket in a million years, so I claimed this as my own, and I started returning it to life, such as singing mice in Bagpuss.

My mother and I chose some blue fabrics, which were not scattered, after it was too late. After the jacket was transferred to me (a woman from many talents, she raised this wall behind me in the picture too). It looked good like new, if not better. What was part of my father’s identity to me and I wore it until the deer leather sections were liberated and began to hang in tea – and on this point, it was undoubtedly a deceased.

I usually had my father’s clothes, and they often became some of my favorite adolescent aspects. The Threadbare shirt that you used as a night shirt (decorated with sewing small modern buttons everywhere-to-to-place, pineapple, and What-Have-Y); The suit jacket that I took when she became a little older, and she wore as a coat (it was not very warm, but who cares when you are a teenager?); A heavy wool veil of heavy wool when a young boy wore it as a small coordination.

I was a great admirer, and Playboy Bunny One was my favorite at the time. With a mixture of a gentle rabbit, the exciting and exciting world and adults, it indicates this – in addition to the feeling that I was civilized by wearing it – that the rabbit caught my imagination because the femininity waved on the horizon

The hat must also be mentioned. Everyone wearing the ramia or the extensive differences in the eighties-Bananarama, Debie Gibson and Madonna-but the source of inspiration for my hat came FACE 1985 Cover with Felix Howard Which, thirteen years old, played the role of the starring in Madonna opens your heart video. For this iconic snapshot, it is designed in a black hat with a tape of “killer” reading tucked in the tape.

It is also worth noting: the Chinese Lucky dolls that hung it from the upper button of the jacket. This was one of the preferred childhood stores ever, the late Emporium Neal Street East in the Covent Park in London. She was full of treasures from China and Japan and outside – and had a “basement bazaar” of splendid prices, such as the fan that you can see on the wall behind me as a hat. It was a magic place and all I bought at all was also magic.
