I posted this amazing Kansai Yamamoto skirt I got off eBay a few months back…it is definitely time to show it some love again.
Worn today with Ann Demeulemeester lace-up sandal boots, an American Apparel sweatshirt, my new favorite vintage necklace, and an Antonio Palladino gold octopus ring.
This octopus ring is not mine! Mine is silver, my mom has one in gold. Sometimes we trade. I cannot reiterate enough how much pleasure it gives me to wear my favorite animal on my finger– it's glistening jointed tentacles come to life with every twitch of my finger.
Can't get enough of these Ann D's!! I know, I know…I'll shut up about them.
Denise gets as excited about Ann Demeulemeester as I do. She was very animated today…she's always trying to get into my pictures.
and now I'm going to share some pictures of David Bowie wearing Kansai Yamamoto…

Here is a very short clip from one of his shows in 1971-very theatrical!

OMG that picture of Denise is hilarious and adorable! Love that you have every color in those Ann D sandals…wish I could see them in person here in Houston :(
OMGosh! ANOTHER pair of Ann D lace-up sandals?!? Amazing! :)
xx
those shoes are amazing. $900 a pair though, jeeeez. i wish i had that kinda money. id probably blow it on these haha. OR the new Isabel Marant studded ankle boots, those are $1300 AYYY!!
First of all you walk down that brick retainer like it’s your own runway and second I think the Ann Ds in that particular colour are my favourite!
You look effortlessly gorgeous as all ways, keep it up!

Love the skirt color….
3 pair x $950 = you do the math… wow
The octopus ring is way too cool!
baby, you have amazing style! i cant’t imagine myself wearing that skirt, i don’t think i could pull it off! however, i would wear those ann d, and your whole collection of shoes, without thinking twice!!! the ring is faboulous too!!!
The skirt looks wondrous, Im in love ! I really like the photos of bowie too!
Hmm…where to begin..
Okay well let me begin with saying that this has got to be on of my favorite looks of yours!
It is pulled together so marvelously and also very effortlessly.
The nail polish + the jewerly combined with a teeny bit of midriff showing and those delishhh Demeulemeester’s (they are DIVINE in that shade of brown by the way)
Its simple and chic and unique and perfect. You are fabulous.
xxMolls
love the ring!! and the shape of the skirt reflected in the shape of the necklace…
LOL to that picture of your dog! I’m still loving the Ann Demeulemeester booties too. And I love, love, love those octopus rings but I think I prefer yours in silver.

Oh God ! Love so much these Ann D’s… Please Jane, would you let me know where did you buy them ? Can’t find this brown colour on the Internet… and I really REALLY want them !
Kisses from France, U’re fab !
I totally adore the octopus ring! I WANT ONE TOO!
I like the brown and blue together. And how the shoes pick up on the colours in the skirt.
I LITERRALY love your ring and your skirt !!
AHA love the bono pics, he is great!
Octopus ring is so lovely, it looks wrapped around your finger very real.. and yep the shoes are amazing. I LOVE laces down the front with no tongue in the back… fab
wow!
i love all your Ann D’s shoes from white, black and brown!
what a beautiful necklace, jane!
That ring!!! It’s perfection!
Those shoes are just stunning.
Those shoes are amazing
I really have the feeling your photography has improved,
keep it up!
But i can remember your beginnings with the collages
and the scannings of your scrapbook, and i really loved those, they remembered me of the ones in the vogue Italia!
blue is an amazing colour on you…
ATTENTION PLEASE !! Ann D. lovers: if you go on the Zara website, you can see rip offs of these fabulous shoes… that are very alike and even more fabulous ! Don’t know if they are currently in stores, though… I still haven’t seen them.
Sorry, usually your style is interesting, but that looks just like a child dressing up… expensive shoes don’t necessarily make a good outfit.
I love those shoes! =)

I LOVE the skirt! For some reason, it reminds me Akira. Or maybe informatics designs.
Speaking of octopi, I’ve been seriously considering what I have to do to have one as a pet (and if that’s even legal). :P

that ring is extremely fabulous.
I really love the quality of your photos, jane! Your clothes look more fab because the photography is so nice! Would you mind if I ask, Who holds the lens for you? :) Thanks!

has a comment for your blog on page 70! congrads!
The essence of modern- taking a vintage piece and wearing it with new stuff and in a new way. You get it. also want you to know that I have a pair of wool gloves that I bought in Bloomingdale’s in 1979 or 1980 that are Kansai Yamamoto. I will see if I can find them and email you a pic if you want.
Love this outfit and that skirt! Thanks for posting the Kansai stuff – it’s so cool! You have the whole sandal boot rainbow now don’t you? ;-)
LOVE the ring and the shoes! You have such amazing taste!
I just linked you from my blog if you don’t mind! Come check it out. It’s in the baby stages right now…

Hey Jane,
I too have a tentacle/octopus obsession and I just wanted to share this amazing jeweler with you. I wear this tentacle ring everyday and have been dying for a pair of the earings. They are cast from actual tentacles!

That skirt is so cute. Reminds me of patterns they have on kids’ blankets or quilt covers.
I did a post a while ago showing some of Bowie’s fashion styles http://5kindsofawesome.blogspot.com/2009/02/david-bowie.html. I found that same picture with the huge jumpsuit pants though I didn’t know it was a Kansai Yamamoto outfit.

Jane and friends, please ADVISE. CAN YOU WEAR THESE DEMEULEMEESTER BOOTIES WITH SOCK? Not sure, dying to buy them but we are going into winter here in Australia and I don’t think I’d be able to wait….I know they are wearing the new platform Marni’s with socks, not sure about these? Please let me know. Also, Jane, if you only had $1000 would you buy these or the gorgeous chloe multi strap sandles?
I like your shoes..
