Velvet babydoll dress: The Revival Outpost in New Orleans. Similar from Asos. Brogues: Kurt Geiger. Glasses: RayBan
I’ve always wanted to see some of Banksy’s work. You know the guy. A British born graffiti artist who’s work has been springing up everywhere, including all over New York. Many who have seen what his work commands in prices have taken to preserving their newly (and unexpected) sprayed walls with perspex sheets and additional security to stop the rash of anti-Banksy vandalists.
While in New Orleans this week Michael, my mate Paula and I were fortunate enough to catch this picture. We were taken to see it by someone we befriended in a local bar. It’s the very first time that I’ve seen a Banksy piece in real life. A protective sheet of perspex was broken off the wall by vandals. You can see the rivets or dots left behind. It will only be a matter of time before someone comes along and defaces it unless it’s protected again.
There are many who scoff and hate what Banksy does. I personally love it and feel lucky enough to have stumbled across a piece this week and in New Orleans of all places.
The fact that I wore a dress similar to the girl in the picture just cracked me up.
