Little Black Riding Hood And An Unpredictable Revolution
As a fashion accessories lover from the womb, I was delighted when Mimco got in touch and asked if I was ready to join their Unpredictable Revolution. A story from the torn pages of a debutante’s diary, Mimco harcked back to the 1700′s and 1800′s spanning oceans and continents for their inspiration.
I was sent a beautiful campaign parcel with a piece from the new collection and letters hidden in a cavity inside a book. The letters set a style challenge by giving us key themes to pick and embody as we saw fit. So using their suggested keywords such as Noir, Darkness, Macabre, Deadly and Secret Creature, I undertook the guise of Little Black Riding Hood – as the girl who devours the wolf.
Below is the accompanying film made by Mimco for ‘An Unpredictable Revolution’ directed by Helen Clemens & featuring Australian supermodel Emma Balfour.

When Sportsgirl offered me a style challenge I accepted it immediately without seeing the garment in question. I suppose it wouldn’t really be a challenge if they’d sent me something I’d actually buy for myself without thinking… so when I unwrapped their brightly coloured parcel to find floral dress without a spot of black on it – I panicked.
Apart from the obvious style clash, the real problem with the dress is that it’s sheer and incredibly lightweight so I didn’t want to stifle it under typical wintry layers. It’s available at Sportsgirl right now and if you’re thinking of buying it don’t hesitate because it is lovely, but tuck it away in your wardrobe for the next few months and pull it out again around December. It’s delicate fabrication will make an ideal wardrobe staple during summer.
Who knows, despite it’s unlikely place in my wardrobe you may just see it making more appearances in the appropriate weather.
