The Kensington Decadent : London Bohemian Style | 70s Biba Inspired | Velvet & Satin

July 04, 2021

London Bohemian

Devoré Velvet & Bruised Plum Satins

Look 64 is an ode to the "Golden Era" of West London bohemianism. This isn't the bohemianism of the fields, but of the **dimly lit flat and the midnight jazz club**. The silhouette is long and lean, featuring a dramatic plum satin maxi coat over a burnout (devoré) velvet slip dress. It’s a look that feels expensive yet slightly disheveled, capturing the spirit of a rock-star muse wandering through a Chelsea antique market.

Get the Look:

  • The Outerwear: A floor-sweeping duster coat in heavy plum-colored liquid satin with padded shoulders and a nipped waist.
  • The Texture: A mid-length slip dress in black devoré velvet with a dark floral "burnout" pattern.
  • The Essential: A 2-meter long skinny silk scarf in a leopard print or dark floral, wrapped twice around the neck.
  • The Footwear: Towering silver metallic platform sandals with a chunky 70s heel.
  • The Accessories: A faux-fur stole draped over one shoulder and a pair of oversized, round purple-tinted sunglasses.
