Dulwich Festival 2014

Once again, Dulwich is landing a cultural punch in the capital, with the launch of the 21st Dulwich Festival. More than 200 artists are now part of Artists' Open House and this weekend (17th-18th) marks the second and final weekend for this showcase. The annual festival started on May 9th and its programme of events has included music, talks, walks, workshops and debates as well as the addition of a Food Trail. As for the backdrop, located off Lordship Lane and Goose Green, these bare-knuckle fighters sprang up last year. Joining Conor Harrington's astounding work, I'm wearing an Edwardian frock-coat in funeral black.

Frock coat: by night

The same frock coat - this time by night - worn with perfunctory black but with more stripes from the Mary Quant shirt I wore to my graduation! Back then, I matched it with a cream linen pleated skirt, long since banished from my wardrobe.

Frock coat: by day

What is a stairwell for, if not for a photo opportunity? Beautiful colour-blocking begs for a little pattern - in the form of my finely-striped mono frock coat and further stripes in my funky boots. All else is plainly black - from the InWear skinnies to that rucksack.
