when i think of my greatest inspirations, i think of the same as many people: alexa chung, michelle obama, audrey hepburn, jackie o, patti smith, and the like. but i’d say my greatest inspiration is a fictional character: cassie ainsworth from skins.
it’s not that i think that i dress like her, or at least not as often as i’d like to. but inspiration does not require emulation.
cassie is quirky and lovely. she wears colors that look as though they’ve been captured by an old polaroid: dreamy, flowing, and at the same time completely bold. i recently learned that the actress who played her, hannah murray, actually styled herself for the show and owned most of the clothes. jealousy is not becoming.
i love the way she effortlessly paired her knee socks, maryjanes, and an amazing collection of vintage skirts with modern tops. and did you ever see someone casually wear a gold dress like a champ like that?
