JJ: Ok so here we have a plain black dress from the 60s that looks like absolutely nothing on the hangar (and even more boring photographed as a still life on our website!) but transforms into the coolest dress ever when put on. I love the strips of fabric that flash on the skirt when you walk!
VV: Totally. I’m in a Blue’s Brother’s Mood here. I want to be the girlfriend of the small one.
JJ: John Bellushi?
VV: Yes, I love him. He’s a super rock n’ roll.
JJ: I think you look like a badass Audrey Hepburn with your little black dress and Ray-Bans.
VV: No! For me, it’s a happy widow look, like Sophia Loren. The little black dress is a uniform. It should always been worn in a very iconic way—with classic elements of the wardrobe.
JJ: Whenever I see total black I panic. I have to add jewelry or something to make it exciting. Otherwise I will fall asleep before I leave the house.
VV: Me too to be honest. That’s why my look has an ironic twist—like the Godfather. I think you’re ‘WOW’ here. When you wear black, I think you’re totally ‘ciao’ because it’s unexpected from you. You’re a rainbow soul though.
JJ. Exactly, which can sometimes be achieved by pouring the entire pot of gold from that rainbow part on your body, which I’ve done here with all this vintage bootie. At first I put even more jewelry on but then I thought, maybe this is too much. And if I say it’s too much, it must DEFINITELY be too much. So here you’ve got me in my pared down maximal black look.
