Winter Lab Style 5.1: Sequencing Is In The DNA
Winter dressing can be a conundrum when the weather decides to weather. Trying to look professional, but not impersonal adds to the wintery mix. Here are a few key pieces to add to the sequence to keep things from getting gloomy.
Shoes
A nice pair of riding boots in a gray color scheme keep legs warm in walking cities and goes with everything. Sequins Vans glitz up lab days and after dark socials. These slip-ons are comfortable without being informal. They’re perfect paired with jeans, a midi skirt/dress, or slacks.
Pants
Patterned pants in a silky wool are fantabulously fun for drab Winter days. Emilio Pucci does it right. These are ideal with a turtleneck, bulky sweater or shirt and blazer.

Shirt
Reflection on the end of one year and beginning of another gets inspiration by some of the greats. No day is too dark with Einstein, McQueen and Hendrix. This style pairs nicely with anything from jeans to skirts.
Blazer
A corduroy blazer in black pulls any look together. The heavier material balances the lightness of a T-shirt or blouse.

Step aside, straight lines and cerebral detachment- Pat Steir isn’t here for minimalist politeness. At Hauser & Wirth’s Wooster Street outpost, her reimagined installation Mirage 1975 defies walls not just physically but psychologically, resurrecting a space where visual and verbal consciousness flicker like twin flames in a brain lit by wild intuition. Transformation is a mechanism that came to mind. When Steir first painted directly on gallery walls in 1975, she shattered the boundary between artwork and spectator, insisting that immersion is the purest form of perception.
