Variety of wear, the last image most truthful
Today while it stormed outside, I finished sewing the black buttons onto my flea marked shoulder-padded jacket (during this time I watched The Departed). I always push my sleeves up above my elbows, which for this jacket creates a sort of incredible voluminous effect. In images 1,6, & 10 I am wearing lipgloss by YSL and a dress of my own construction as well as assorted flea market bangles. In image 2 I am wearing an accompanying skirt by Alexandre Herchcovitch. In image 4 & 7, I am wearing my favorite skirt by Please Dress Up! And the hood/scarf in 7 is by Juun J. lipstick is NARS.
Although I am quite a fan of modern usage of shoulderpads (a la Margiela, Ann Sofie Back, Balmain, etc etc), I have very consciously steered clear 1980's shoulderpadded pieces because I generally feel like their shapes do not support the shoulder volume. Naturally, I was wary when I picked up this jacket and spied the combination of massive shoulders and batwinged sleeves. But for some reason...this time it worked. I chose to embelish the shoulders with the black buttons to both visually weigh them down as well as showcase the silhouette.
