HB: I have another question.
EW: Tell me it and I’ll think about it in the shower.
HB: How do you organise your wardrobe?
EW: Great question!
BP: I really need to re-organise mine. It’s been a mess since we’ve moved in which is like nearly a year ago.
EW: I feel like I’ve already talked to you about this.
HB: Yeah, it’s one of my favourite questions to ask people.
EW: You and I talked about how I culled my wardrobe.
HB: Yes!
EW: Coz it made me anxious.
HB: Yes we have… and when you moved to Melbourne you wore lots of black. Right?
EW: Yes… and then I realised that black is not actually my colour.
HB: It’s the beautiful green and autumn colours.
EW: Earth tones. Greens and caramels.
BP: That other Issey top of yours.
EW: Jewel tones. Yeah Bianca - the copper vest.
HB: That’s such a good colour.
EW: Then I realised I kind of have auburn-y hair, the longer it gets the more it is. I really wanna go to one of those colour people. But do you think it would send me on a spiral?
HB: I think you know [your colours].
BP: People do inherently know.
SA: It’s about confidence. You are right, you can tell if you like something.
BP: When you start enjoying clothes you notice yourself gravitate towards colours because they suit. I find that I don’t wear many colours.
HB: You’re quite neutral. Browns?
BP: Yeah I’m neutral but the clothes I wear are pretty set: My blues, my reds, maybe I’m straying towards some greens lately.
EW: I’ve been going on a weird pink -
HB: I love pink.
EW: Pink, purple, red thing which I never wanted to wear in my life.
HB: The red really suited you- just circling back to that jumper.
SA: I think I’ve gone the opposite way. I don’t know if it’s where I grew up, because I grew up on the coast, and everyone dresses a particular way. I went to uni when gorman was big and I remember the first day I was wearing a full on rainbow dress and our tutor was looking around the room and said ‘you’re all designers, I know you are colour-phobes blah blah blah’ and everyone but me was in monochrome and I thought "okay, I’m gonna continue to wear colour I don’t need to wear monochrome", but the last couple of years or more I’ve started buying not coloured stuff. I get sick of it if I wear it more than once.
HB: Plain colours, and not patterned?
SA: I do wear some colour. I have my red jumper, and some bright orange stuff that I quite like. I do like colour. I think it’s more the patterned thing.
BP: You also get tired of things that maintain your attention more.
SA: Yes!
BP: Prints that are a check or a stripe, you’re not paying attention to it.
SA: They’re not creating silhouette either, like blocky colours. Stripes and patterns that when you squint your eyes you can’t really see.
EW: Stripes from a distance, they look like a block colour.
SA: Yeah stripes and checks, and maybe dots even though I don’t have any dotted clothes *laughs*.
BP: You get tired when you have to maintain...
HB: When you have to think about what you wear with it as well.
SA: I like when I can pull it out and know what it’s gonna look like.
BP: It’ll look good with multiple things. Not just one outfit.
SA: It’s not drawing attention to the item either.
BP: I wear the same things week in week out.
HB: All of us with our travel wardrobes! [This guy once] was like ‘what’s your earth uniform?’ and I said probably what I’ve got on. Such a good phrase. And then…. What would mine be now?
SA: Cross Back Skirt?
BP: Brown and white striped Poet? That looks so cool on you and on Ethan as well.
HB: Thanks!
BP: It looks really effortless.
HB: Everything needs to be crumpled and thrown on…
BP: It’s big and has enough movement in the hem because you’ve got the split kind of situation, that you can tuck it in.
HB: Yeah. This time last year, I wore it straight for a week it was black Harvey’s, my Post Sole sandals, and I had a singlet underneath and just a Kowtow jumper, and I feel like when I wear those shapes like a boxy jumper, a baggy pant and a pair of sandals.
BP: Yeah, I feel very comfy in a boxy top and straight pant.
EW: *Laughs to himself about his sunburn*
