Have you ever thought about which are you knockout colours? Benjy Chavez Vales Mucho Cafecito Oversized Shirt The ones that make your eyes pop and skin glow? These are your best colours and ones you want to build your wardrobe around, and are also fantastic in your jewellery too. Carol Karl and I discuss more about choosing colours and why black isn’t necessarily the right neutral for your wardrobe in this video interview – check it out now. Most people tell me that they don’t know how to mix colours, so they avoid colours and go for black instead as it seems easier. Mass media and the fashion industry has marketed black as being the most sophisticated colour, the colour that goes with everything and the most slimming colour. Yet this is all a myth. Black, it’s so everywhere now it’s actually boring. When I’ve asked people why they wear a lot of black, most people tell me because they’re unsure of what other colours to wear and it feels “safe” to them. So much so, that most of the time when I walk into a store and pick up a coloured item, the retail sales assistant will immediately say to me “did you see we’ve got that in black?” Why do they do this? Well because most people go for that safe black option and so they are more likely to make a sale (and that keeps them in business). When black first became a fashion colour back in the late 80s and early 90s, before that it was really only worn mostly by widows, as evening wear (glamourous and sophisticate) or by that artistic crowd (again, more sophisticated), it was a more exciting and interesting colour. Sadly, these days it’s everywhere and so no longer has any feeling of being a special colour to wear.

In loose terms, Benjy Chavez Vales Mucho Cafecito Oversized Shirt the global art fair is like the equivalent of fashion month—it’s the magnet that brings a diverse force of creative minds all to one place. Though, it’s less of a traveling circus than Paris, Milan, London, and New York fashion weeks and more low-key. Instead of sitting front row with a photographer waiting in the wings for a picture, at Frieze, celebrities walk around in hats and sunglasses trying to avoid them. But from the artists to the collectors and educators that attend Frieze, there’s still a sense that the same people who love art also take fashion very seriously. Buzzing around Barker Hangar, we shuffled from exhibition to exhibition to scout all of the great style on the scene. A number of big seasonal trends were spotted in the crowd, but they came with a side of eccentricity, which was a friendly reminder that art people prefer to do things a bit differently. For a bleak day, the fashion surely turned up the heat—keep scrolling to see the best style moments at Frieze Los Angeles. Where does one get a half-blazer, half–bomber jacket? Visual artist Liz Lee sourced her unconventional topper from a theatre-department sale at CalArts, where she’s also an MFA student. “I got this for like a $1,” she recalls. “The program has students creating costumes for student contemporary dance shows and plays, so you get these bizarre Skims-like bodysuits and cool period pieces.” The underrated beauty of a dual or two-faced jacket like this is it can theoretically function in both casual and buttoned-up situations, but for Frieze, Lee wore it with baggy jeans from brand 69 and cool wraparound shades.
