STYLE: FASHION : Beyond the Looking Glass

Like Lewis Carroll’s Alice, fashion has the power to suggest a parallel universe. Try on a tartan kilt and hear pipers marching to battle on the Scottish Highlands, or slip into a vinyl jumpsuit and envision docking at the nearest space station. Clothes can and do transport us. When paired with luxe fabrics such as silk, satin and velvet, exquisite pleats and shirring produce fantastical results. Wear one of these creations, and leave everything else to your imagination.
