Cover up and Bare

"A flash of skin beneath a chunky knit adds a whiff of scandal"

October's Harper's Bazaar featured a shoot, "Go with the Flow", which focused on the knits arriving for autumn/winter. The stand first explained that “its all about dressing down this winter’: mixing elegant with slouchy, bulky with sheer, sequins with sweaters and even an evening dress worn with a parka.

I was given inspiration with the above image to use a jumper that I purchased in a vintage store for a few pounds to create the said dressed down yet evening feel.

The caption alongside their image states "A flash of skin beneath a chunky knit adds a whiff of scandal". Imitating this i used a hand knitted cropped jumper with lurex glitter threading and leather leggings. What was noticed about the shoot was the differing textures; wool v sequin and shiny leather v fluffy knit. Both the knits quite evidently tend to be day items, such technique effectively supplies a casual sense. 


Aimed for was night out getup, however with the temperature rapidly reaching single figures come the evening hours at home i don't know how long a bare midriff would last!
