In Search...Suzy Bishop dress

Our love for mod dresses in style of Ye-Ye girls has deepened when Suzy Bishop, teenager who is on the lookout for adventure of her life, showed up. Before Suzy, we were searching for frocks with collars and cuffs in thrift stores hoping to find something in our size but it was almost impossible. Luckily for us, these days we are able to find not just artworks or cool geeky stuff but also dresses influenced by dear Suzy.
Quirky fan of Francoise Hardy that walks around in knee socks and saddle shoes also inspired Katie-Louise Ford who created three adorable Suzy frocks for Audrey Grace Boutique. (See here.)

If you could be any fictional character, who would you choose to be?
Misslikey would be Suzy, definitely.

Lula 15

Issue 15 of our dearest Lula Mag is finally out. This time cover girl of my dreams is beautiful Hannah Holman, star of Orla Kiely SS 2013 Lookbook and film. Cover with Hannah, photographed by Damon Heath, comes in three different versions. From scans I collected over the internet, there is also a feature with our new icon Miss Moonrise Kingdom, Suzy Bishop aka Kara Hayward. Also I find very charming Amish-esque angelic looks of Zanna van Vorstenbosch in editorial photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth. What can I say besides I am very impatient to see this magical spreads in my mailbox. What about you?

meeting suzy bishop from new penzance

M-a-r-g-o-t. Tenenbaum. I really believe in Margot. I often imagine her in diverse situations walking around hauling her vague Nico melancholy and brown Kelly in hand. The one with missing finger. In vintage Lacoste tennis dress, Margot is an icon, and probably for 20 years or more will be Angela or Lula Mae to some new kids. Those kids would probably think of Lacoste as something really really cool so Lacoste peeps, if they haven’t already, should pay a huge amount of money to Wes Anderson. Being updated with The Rushmore Academy and everything that is happening in the world of Wes, loyal fans were waiting and waiting. We needed new female heroine, Wes! There’s no doubt that Bill Murray is genius but honestly, can Bill wear a dress? That’s why we can finally exhale – it came the time of Moonrise Kingdom. Suzy is much younger than Margot and is far from a lesbian affair in Paris or lusty marriage experience. Girl that listens to Francoise Hardy’s sensual melodies wears 60s dresses with white cuffs and collars, knee socks, saddle shoes and basket bag. When you see her, you can easily imagine Tennessee Thomas, drummer of The Like. Or Ye-ye girls. But Suzy can be also one of the Beatlettes. Is that a reason we tweet and tumble and google her peachy pink outfits? Kasia Walicka-Maimone did a great job as costume designer. But will Suzy become our favorite Halloween costume and a girl that we can relate to, like Margot Tenenbaum is. We’ll see. But I can tell you that I am very excited to meet her. Are you?
