London has always felt like the perfect backdrop for a little fashion rebellion, so it only made sense to channel my inner eighties icon Madonna, while wandering through the city streets.
This look is my love letter to the quintessential «Material Girl» era: a punk-meets-pop moment where nothing is too much and individuality is everything. Key elements include a dress with net layer, fingerless gloves, a cap and one of my favorite details, the garter belt, worn visibly at the leg. It is a little bold, a little rebellious, and very much in the spirit of eighties styling.
What I love most about this aesthetic is its fearless approach to self-expression. It’s not about dressing neatly, it’s about telling a story, breaking a few rules, and having fun while doing it. Walking through London dressed like this felt powerful, nostalgic, and completely free.
Sometimes fashion is at its best when it doesn’t whisper – it sings.
My look: Double-breasted raw-edge bouclé jacket by Balmain, layered dress in white jersey dress and black logo net (Look 23 – Cruise 2022), tweed cap, 2019 fingerless studded gloves, logo belt, garter thigh micro flap bag, (Look 31 – Cruise 2022), 80’s inspired chain earrings, 21K black nylon and patent leather interlocking CC knee high sock boots (F/W 2021/22 Act II), and 19A all about chains waist bag (2019 Métiers d’Art collection (Paris-Egypt)), all by CHANEL.
LoL, Sandra
