Michael Darlington:
I love the texture and elegance of the Doma lace dress. Fabulous to unveil this on a night out, under a vintage black leather coat.
Lauren Coppen:
u can find many vintage styles of leather coats, trenches or macs. Here is an 80s Gianni Versace option at Vestiaire.
MD:
Arguably one of the most iconic bags by Phoebe Phillo for Celine, the Cabas works so well the Coppen Toro shorts. I love the graphic connection between the two.
LC:
You can find many versions of the Cabas bag on many resale sites, here’s a great example on Ebay.
MD:
You can change the feel and silhouette of an outfit instantly with the right belt. To give the Amelia dress a tougher edge, I would cinch the waist with one of my favourite YSL Cassandre belts.
LC:
You can find many versions of this belt on many resale sites, here’s a great example on Vestiaire.
