SNAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT
You didn’t know? It’s World Snake Day this Saturday and if it’s also your birthday then I can only apologise for what that says about you. Anyway: what better opportunity could there be to remind everyone of David Lynch’s 1990 cult classic Wild at Heart, starring Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage — in which the latter dons one of the most famous snakeskin jackets in fashion history. Described by Cage’s character as ‘a symbol of my individuality and my belief in personal freedom’, why not channel your inner reptilia this weekend? (Preferably with a more ethically conscious, faux interpretation. GCDS has one for you, at farfetch.com.)
