Fashion guide to mismatched clothing

Published on March 17th, 2010

Dressed in the Dark is all about taking risks – sometimes it’s spot on and sometimes you’d be better off dressed by your mum. We thought that since we’re taking the leap with launching and all, we’d bang together a few bits and bobs willy nilly, even if it meant dressing our lovely model Cali in a vest top over a hoodie.

We also made a little video of the shoot: it’s so tough being a model, dressing yourself properly, styling your hair, posing, getting the look right!

You can also see it on Youtube

Not everything in the shoot is available online. You might even find better stuff in your chazzer shop but we’ve thrown in some sites that sell the stash at decent prices.
