Dressing; A How To

Art by Dio Garcia

Written by Edith Young

Welcome to Alia Shawkat’s studio, where esteemed members of the Mountbatten-Windsor family tree freckle the walls and the preferred method of transport is via penny board. Alia herself looks positively royal in the cyan Margaret Tea Dress, and I can guarantee she does the best ornithological bit you’ll hear all day.

 

Life imitates art when Alia dons the Gertrude Tie-Neck Silk-Chiffon Top in the Objects print, comprised of photographer Neil Winokur’s signature still-lifes from the 80s. 

Take a page out of Alia’s book and narrate a novela to a small gathering of friends while flexing your toes beneath the foxglove flare of the Bette pant, or consider the equestrian potential of the Fanny Dress, replete with hundreds of doting waiters, their noses upturned, serving martinis drier than a British sense of humor. 

Equal parts regal and rococo, the artist herself resplendent in Rachel Antonoff.
