Three things it does fast: ground soft lilac, sharpen brass, wake the dressing room. The mood is mock-Vogue — pearls, a pastel jacket, a hard stare — done with a wink. It's a piece for people who like their decor with a sense of humour. Hang it where you get ready: above a vanity, beside a dressing mirror, or on a quiet wall in a powder room. It also earns its keep in a bedroom or a girly home office. Pair with pale oak, brushed brass, soft pinks, and one good velvet seat. Don't crowd it with serious abstracts or heavy landscapes — let the cat have the floor. Stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang.
