Kelly Doust introduces readers to her wonderful world of reviving and customising vintage pieces, while bringing a modern and unique twist to wearing vintage clothes – Dita Von Teese
Vogue’s Colour Fiesta
Vogue Australia's new March 2011 issue
Check out the new issue of Vogue for a piece I’ve written on honesty & friendship – Friendly Fire, p178 – but you must buy it for so many more reasons. For a start, it has the most breathtakingly gorgeous cover I’ve seen in years, taken from Fashion Editor Meg Gray’s Mexico-set story, Viva la revolucion. But it’s also bursting with the most fabulous new-season fashion. I want that entire Prada confection on the cover, just to begin with. Today I will be combing the markets for bold colour, stripes and ethnic prints.
Homemade happiness
Remember the Vogue article I mentioned writing a while back, about falling into craft through my vintage clothing addiction? The lovely Felicity Loughrey, a fellow Vogue contributor based in New York, contacted me recently to see if she could reproduce it on her new website. Click here to read it in full on Lustaday.
The Beauty Bubble – latest Vogue article
Check out the current issue of Vogue for my latest article, ‘The Beauty Bubble’. What’s it all about? Front-row seats, upgrades to first class, faster service… there really are perks for looking perfect (as if we didn’t know! actually, there’s much more to it than that…)
Fascinating people I interviewed for the piece were NY-based Aussie model, Nicole Trunfio; actress, model and producer of the HBO series In Treatment, Noa Tishby; sociology professor Salvatore Babones and psychologist Denise Greenaway. Let me know your own thoughts on the subject if you get a chance to read it.
‘Homemade Happiness’: craft in Vogue
Check out the current issue of Vogue (July 2010) with the beautiful Rose Byrne on the cover to see my article, ‘Homemade Happiness’. It’s a story about stumbling into the world of crafts, and a love letter to the joy crafting brings.
Enjoy!
