It was a caftan-mosphere in Art Basel

This year when pondering what the hell I was going to wear for five days in the heat of Miami at the kookiest art/fashion event of the year I just figured- LETS DO IT!
All caftans.
So I rolled up the following:

• My first caftan I bought in Egypt in navy with red and white embroidery which apparently is a woman's wedding gown

• The black djellaba Rod and PHJ brought me from Morrocco

• The African one I had made for Chloe's wedding in Botswana

• My newest one from John Bartlett with a camo print of his late and wonderful three legged dog, Tiny Tim

The result? The best idea ever! All I had to do is roll out of bed, throw one on and head out, bathing suit underneath. At night I would add a turban and voila.

Laure, one of the owners of The Webster informed me that they are called Boubou's in West Africa.
YAY a new name!
Djellaba
Caftan
Boubou


Now I have to find four new ones for next year. I'm not too worried, John and I are already talking new prints and there are a load of spots on 125th Street that can whip some up.



Now if only I could get one lines in cashmere for this frost freeze. Pringle of Scotland are you listening?

PS- Billy Farrell is totally responsible for coining 'caftan-mosphere' as you can see here:
