I see you seeing me

When we took to the streets this season, we approached our Style Sample subjects with a compliment (usually well-received, hence the photo evidence), followed by a question:
What is your must-do during festival season here in Adelaide?
We simply must know how the well-dressed have fun.
In terms of Adelaide’s current sartorial vibe, it’s giving quirky-but-comfy with a touch of ‘I’m entering my villain era’.
Translation: ‘I care quite a lot, but I don’t want you to notice.’
It’s about high-quality materials, tone, and the precise cut and shape of a garment, not the obnoxious Gucci-maximalism of yester-month.
