Dress | Kimono (old—similar here) | Sandals

So we’re all aware of my admiration for the work and style of Eddie Redmayne, but I was recently reminded of why I enjoy reading his interviews as well. Instead of being filled with poorly veiled self-promotion, Eddie’s interviews often detail his sources of inspiration and recent learnings. I recently read this enlightening interview, which was insightful and highlighted Eddie’s well-known eloquence. Near the end, he discusses his Cambridge dissertation, which must have been an overwhelming undertaking (obviously). He mentions the subject of his dissertation, artist Yves Klein, and his creation of International Klein Blue. If you’re familiar with this deep blue hue, you know it’s effect on all those who view it. It’s intensely captivating. While it’s difficult to find products that boast the true hue, I was so pleased to find this dress that is an acceptable mimic! The color is oddly versatile and this is probably the 5th (starkly) different look I’ve styled using it as a base.
