London Closets: Pandora Sykes

Only one other person has ever accessorized so successfully with a bathtub that it began to feel like a moral obligation to attempt to follow suit. That was Daria Werbowy under the watch of Céline and Juergen Teller, but today in a fashion week edition of London Closets, Pandora Sykes, fashion features editor and “Wardrobe Mistress” at London’s The Sunday Times Style, makes a case for the same curious appliance.

Observe as she embroils what’s vintage with what’s new and provides a dose of whimsical novelty to a horse that effectively died on its way in last week: le 70s. With flatform loafers, flare leg pants and a couple of coats set to make statements, Sykes may very well be the blonde, nose-ring laden CPR that brings it back to life. Again.

Monday:

Never knowingly without my Saint Laurent witch booties. Also wearing Saks Potts fur, vintage sunglasses and a Free People dress.

Tuesday:

I call this my coal-mining look. Vintage suede is the best. I’m wearing a vintage suede jacket, trousers from Olive Clothing, and my Saint Laurent booties.

Wednesday:

Bookended by my verdant friends. These flares are by an amazing chick named Monique who runs the LA label Whore de Culture. She customised these Elizabeth & James flares for me. I’m also wearing a Zara coat, Proenza Schouler tee and Free People booties.

Thursday:

On a shoot, I found the world’s deepest bath. Shirt is Vilshenko, jeans are customized Levi’s CT by Net-a-Porter, and sandals are Stella McCartney.

Friday:

Cat burglar. In my favourite knitwear designer, Bella Freud knit. Also wearing a Reformation dress and Saint Laurent booties.

Saturday:

Today I’m chatting with designer Charlotte Simone about her upcoming lookbook, which I styled. Taking a break with a semi-sit. Jacket is Saks Potts, jumper is Zara, button-down suede skirt is vintage and flatform loafers are Gucci.

Sunday:

We’ve reached the end! I’m wearing a shirt by London designer Shrimps for her tea at Sketch. I know you Americans think we have tea all of the time, but I can assure you I drink less tea than you eat brunches. Jacket is Tommy Hilfiger, jeans are Topshop and mules, Malone Souliers.

AND ONE FOR GOOD LUCK:

Here I am wearing one of my favourite new labels, Cecilie Copenhagen, who works magic with keffiyeh fabric.

Baum Und Pfedgarten belt, Topshop jeans, ASOS pop socks, Sandro brogues and Liberty London bucket bag.
