I always feel as if I can discern something of the personality of Heather Firbank through the extensive wardrobe she left behind. Muted matching shades and a careful neatness makes me wonder at the woman behind the garments. Dress by Mascotte c1911 #V&A #FashionHistory πŸ—ƒοΈπŸͺ‘

'The Yellow Tablecloth.' (1926/28) Luigi Lucioni's still lifes allowed him to bring together intricate patterns, textures and colour into one arrangement...'you try awfully hard to make a still life look as though it was casual but I don’t think there is anything casual in art.'
