Napoleon
So I'm *almost* done with school, and now I'd like to share one of a dress up outfit I wore for a presentation during the semester. This was for a consumer behavior research project and I choose France for the country. We had to research all sort off things from culture, attitude, clothes, and many more stuff (I feel like I'm sounding like my lecturer now). As I research into France, I realized that Napoleon Bonaparte was quite of "the icon". The first thing that came into my mind was the pandemic of Military Jackets (thanks to another French design house, Balmain, of course) for the past 2 seasons. So I decided to dress the part like Napoleon for the presentation. Sometimes it's great to wear something you don't normally wear. It's even fun-er when you take photos (minus the sweating and the people that stop and stare).






there's napoleon for those aren't familiar with him. I had plan to wear my riding boots with the entire outfit but then I realized I can no longer bear with the hot weather of Jakarta. I was soooo sweaty by the time I finished shooting this set of photos.






zara jacket, banana republic top, miss sixty pants, mulberry bag, hat from tomodachi in bandung, rick owens boots.
i've had the hat for ages but I never got the chance to wear it except when I was in Bali last year. the boots actually belonged to my cousin. She wanted to borrow my Givenchy wedges so I told her that I'll only lend it if I can borrow these rick owens. They're soooo comfy to walk around all day long.

Great pants and jacket accessories! :)
Awesome outfit,good job :)
Technically Napoleon was Italian. Shhh,don't tell anyone ...LOL!
I studied historical costume as well and did you know Napoleon was the guy behind mass market production. People use to go to shops and have their clothes made for them until he saw how much money would be made for the industrialization of the economy. it started with fashionable silks and went on to mass produced clothing. Now i sound like an instructor, ha! Greta post and great photos XOXO
love the reference. and the stunning shots you always share. great looK
wish that bag of yours was mine. thanks for the twitmessage btw. sorry it's kinda outta my price range ;(
but best of luck selling
hope you have a wonderful week

The jacket is sooo beautiful :)
thanks so much for your congratulations :)

You look incredible! You definitely exude something that is very Renaissance/ 1800s-esque. Which I LOVE. You're so fierce. And that hat? AH OOH LA LA.

You are total eye candy, and you come through with more sweet pictures! There is not a single element I dislike about this look. Everything from the big hat down to your boots are delightfully and deliciously beautiful. Candy references aside, you look amazing!

That hat is AMAZING! You look super fine as always! (: I own a napoleon horse riding pants and my guy friend (who definitely don't understand fashion) always enjoy making fun of it.
