The Relaxed Black Sequin Robot

img_9459.jpg

Do robots relax?  Do they to get to take their batteries out and chill with their other unplugged robot friends?  This //ROBOT:BLK:SEQ// has taken a break, not from black sequins, the primary function of the bot, but from hard edged sequins and has softened up a bit with his vintage black sequined suit.  Somebody asked me what are my favourite eBay sellers are when the truth is that any vintage eBay stores that I did frequent have long been abandoned since the prices have hiked up quite a bit.  When you have competend instant vintage fixes from the likes of Urban Collection and Nasty Gal, from eBay, I’d rather go for the more random buys from random sellers.  This velvet jacket with a sequinned gigantic collar with matching loose-ish sequinned silk trousers was sold by someone who was also selling duct tape, ceramic woodland creatures and a vacuum cleaner. 

Perfect for a black sequinned robot to relax in…

  1. That jacket is gorgeous and i like how you’ve teamed it with the all over sequined jump suit, its oddly matchy for you.
    Did you see the sequined trousers on topshop, that went up recently and what did you think of them ?

  2. So when can we expect a video clip of your rendition of The Robot?
    A spot of popping and locking would really set off the suit…
    🙂

  3. Ah I’m so glad this suit went to a good home!! I chanced upon it on ebay too and stalked it for a while but didn’t have the guts to buy. The black sequin robot is the future?

  4. Hi Susie,
    I just wanted to say thanks for posting info about the Eley Kishimoto Sample sale. I went TWICE yesterday and scored the most beautiful full-length wool coat and skirt from their AW04 collection. I got them both for a total of £170 which is just silly!
    The only thing stopping me from going a third time is the upcoming Angel’s sale.
    Also I think I actually saw you at the sale or perhaps it was a Susie-Bubble-alike?
    Anyways thanks again for all of the great info on events and stockists that you regularly supply us with!

  5. eBay is great that way.. that seller wouldn’t have even known the value of that fantastic design?!
    good grief.. AUD has fallen so much recently, I’m now ‘prohibited’ from looking at eBay. It hurts.

  6. I CAN’T BELIVE IT – I was watching that exact sequin jacket/suit on Ebay last week but I didn’t place my bid in time and lost out. By the time I logged in I saw it sold following just a single lonely bid. Well, it looks fantastic on you which just makes me all the more gutted! 🙂

  7. i wondered why these outfits looked a bit different, then realised it’s an all black outfit! it looks like a dream fit
