Workwear II

Finding pictures of the Maison Martin Margiela shop staffs' lab coats turned out to be a google mission impossible. The only picture that comes close is this. The coats are empire wraparound with straight jacket straps. Pretty amazing.

Best outfit so far this year

Worn by the man from Sveriges Ingenjörer who spoke at today's union meeting. Fantastic!! This week-end I am going to go out of my way to get a hold of 1) a mustard-coloured wool blazer 2) a pair of pitch-black jeans 3) a tan, so I too will look like a potential killer in Cluedo.

Sofie is one of the best dressed people I know. Last summer I worked in the same factory as her brother. We used to spend our coffee breaks together and look like this. He told me he was concerned about the way Sofie dresses ("Her outfits are SO FUCKING STRANGE."). A couple of hours later we met on the commuter train, him in a grey melange t-shirt and me in what my mother wore during her pregnancy in the 80s. We were both embarrassed.

If it turns out I am allergic to latex my career is over!!

Wearing latex sucks when it is 30 ºC.

Fashion in the workplace #1

These weeks before people go on vacation are awful. The men wear tube socks with velcro tape sandals and the zippered hiker type pants which can be worn as shorts or capris. I am nauseous all the time.
