joan arc goes to the disco

is how sarah mower described alessandro dell'acqua's fall 2009 collection, noting that it was fairly similar to the other collections shown in Milan that season. One distinguishing feature, obviously, was the use of hardware and chainmail in the clothes, which basically pleased me in a way no man ever could. Yeah, I just said that.

Anyway, if you have 8,000 Euros to spare, you can pick up that sweet armored dress on LuisaViaRoma.

Anyway, ever since then I've had chainmail on the brain hardcore, and my mission when I get home is to make myself some chainmail accessories - start small, just a belt, bracelet, etc. Maybe rip off this picture from March's Russh of Tallulah Morton - which Maison des Reveries did a while ago in chains rather than chainmail.
