Wanting
Nomade Exquis is a collection of fingerprint-unique, vintage jewelry curated by Mo Clancy. Nomade Exquis’s beginnings are as organic as the jewelry vibes: a former trendcaster, Mo started collecting the antique jewelry out of a passion for modernist, brutalist, and biomorphic pieces from the 1950-1970s .
Mo charmed me at lunch months ago. She shared that one of the artists behind Nomade Exquis’s collection used such harsh methods to create his brutalist jewelry that only deaf people could be employed at his factory…

Wearing
I hate being busy with accessories, so I swap between an Hermes Herbag and Kelly Danse, never bother with belts, and only wear the same jewelry every day (a few pieces that mean more than money).

I’ve a uniform: a custom-made silk jersey tank dress, a fancy Hermes fanny pack (pictures of my pet to come, my pets), and four-inch Giuseppes. This keeps me overdressed by most LA standards, but lately I’ve been hunting for a suit to wear to rare meetings. And what beats investing in vintage Chanel? What i love most about vintage Chanel suits are their no-one-else-knows luxury, like that gold chain-weighted hem… |

Vintage Chanel suits purr power, like the engine of a Phantom, like the Godfather petting a kitten. Sure, the brass buttons give this Chanel suit away, but the boxy blazer skims over a blouson top, tucked into a loose skirt, all in a basic black that only serves as a background to your own beauty. This vintage Chanel suit says you don’t need to say anything… |

The whole appeal of a vintage Chanel suit isn’t so much in a super flattering silhouette as in the quiet luxe of it, the economy of its elegance, the subtlety of its sex. So why bother with a boring red suit tagged Chanel? Thanks for nothing, Karl… |

I hate what Christian Dior was mostly known for — that over-hourglassed, New Look silhouette that became a caricature of the ’50s.
But vintage Dior skirt suits, circa 1960, are timeless… |

Like the vintage Dior suit above, this vintage Dior dress suit works as separates. I love its drop-waist shift with a matching double-breasted coat. So elegant and ladylike, without vibing Posh and over-polished… |

That coy collar, that WASP-y waist…
Such a saccharine vintage Dior skirt suit is best worn with a corset, 2.5 kids, and a cheating husband who swears he adores you… |

Mamma Earth, your K knows cotton and linen and hemp have endured centuries of being plucked from being warm and cozy sun-soaked fields, of being tormented and twisted into gorgeous garments for others’ pure pleasure and profit.
So I’ll save a plant on your big day, and rock instead this vintage ’60s minky mink.
Tailored tight to highlight my hot hourglass, it’s a classically luxe coat in espresso black that’s really a figurative green –
Vintage mink is how girls named Kristopher do recycling.
