Off The Beaten Rack - Alice

'Off The Beaten Rack' is a new BSV feature. We are your eyes and ears into the wardrobes of creatives.

This week - Alice!

Alice is part-time cafe barista & part-time artist/crafty person! With Alice's work covering most of the house in many different forms, I'm sure Alice is going to have a shop one day.

Talk to us about your go-to garment. The one you flame to in a store, knowing you own more than you could ever possibly need. Mine is sweaters. I could patchwork my sweaters and blanket Melbourne. 

Flared or wide leg pants. I have a range of colours prints and textures even velvet! They are so flattering and fun to wear I'm on the hunt for some tasseled ones at the moment! 

TELL US ABOUT THE SHOOOOOES. What made you choose each piece?

I have way too many shoes. I love boots, I'm normally wearing boots all year round! I only own about two pairs of sandals. I choose shoes/ boots that are edgy, so I have a lot of black. Boots with tassels, studs, buckles, chunky heels or wedges.

Your style in seven words?

Colourful and feminine with western and bohemian influences. I'm obsessed with lace, tassels and fur. 

 

You have a knack for headwear. Is this a self-taught art?

I guess so. After I cut all my hair off (and had a small meltdown before getting used to it), I felt like finding accessories to make myself feel more feminine. So I started wearing scarves as headbands and then I bought my first headband with flowers and have been on the hunt for all kinds ever since.  Often I have to make them because they are hard to find the way I want them.

Finally, that tiger is the MONEY. Does he have a name? Where can we get one? 

I love him I call him Terry. I found him at the Chapel Street Bazaar, and he's a one off I'm afraid (we think he's from the 20's). I also have Frank the fox stole (pictured above).
