At Diesel I had the freedom (and resources) to experiment with my style without any judging eyes. People generally understood us to be so fashion forward that they didn't question our choices. It was such a fantastic phase for me because I was experiencing so much and studying every look book to understand why things were put together the way they were.
My first expensive purchase was a pair of tapered Dsquared jeans. The type with a lot of extra denim in the rear. I was so transformed by them that I was literally searching everyday for more. Markhams was the only store at the time to stock somewhat trendy items for a lot less. I bought the waistcoat for R100 which is nothing! It still fits and hangs in my cupboard but I don't wear it anymore... for now anyway. I'll wait till less people are wearing them again. The top was an Abercrombie Grandad shirt I got from the states, the belt is (still) my favorite black braided basic.
