Skirting the Lone Water Lily

A brooding, dress-centric Swansong to Oneonta’s oldest local Thrift Store, Silks & Treasures. Silks & Treasures is celebrating nearly 40 years of business this winter before the core team and founders choose a well earned retirement in December.

Cynthia “Flarp” Horan models a Uniqlo Dress in Loafers

All of the following were shot and styled by Bell Horan on a decrepit point-and-shoot at 7am, featuring their sister Cynthia “Flarp” Horan’s modelling debut! Hair, makeup and handling in the harsh conditions were provided by the ever talented Ivy Paw Schwarz. To view what was cut for HEM and BTS silliness, be sure to check out Catalogue Bell!

Cynthia dawns a Nine West Blazer and a sheer Teal dress by an unnamed designer. Additional accessories provided by the CB archive.
Baring all, Cynthia shivers effortlessly in a Flax Cotton sack dress. Additonal accessories provided by the CB archive.
Top by Torrid, Tapestry Vest by Maggie Sweet, and a knit skirt whose tag was decapitated.
Cynthia in vintage Betty Barclay, shoulder pads and matching belt still very much in tact.
Old style Inking gloves, Lane Bryant utility maxi and a Dress Barn cover up keep Cynthia reaching for more on the banks of Goodyear Lake.

We extend our gratitude to Silks & Treasures for putting up with our lengthy fitting room sessions and wish the team nothing but rest, love and luck to the gals behind it! Another thank you to Cynthia and Ivy for helping me put this together so last minute and being excellent collaborators on shoot day!
