A long dress that’s slit to the thigh is like a glass half full. It’s the silence between the notes. Take a dress like this, artfully captured in motion by Giang Cao of t-t-l-g: aside from it’s rich blue colour, it’s transformed by a little break in the fabric. If we imagine, for a moment, a short dress cut just above the knee, it probably wouldn’t make us look twice. It’s the glass half empty. But a dress with a split to that same above-knee level is something different entirely. There’s more fabric, we see less, but it’s a curtain-peep that prompts any brain to want to fill in the mysterious gaps for itself.

That’s the sensuality that happens when more is left to the imagination.

Some people's wardrobes are about a small selection of pieces that all fit within one aesthetic - Tania Braukamper isn't such a person. With a wardrobe that spans three different rooms, her approach to fashion is a mixture of current-season key pieces mixed with vintage finds she's sourced on innumerous shopping trips around the world's more cultured capitals. Despite a disparate approach to shopping, Tania is adamant that the key to mixing vintage with new season is to stick to key looks and colours that work for oneself. And it's a theory that she works into her writing for Fashionising.com, where she serves as the publication's Editor.
