In Case You Missed It: Florence Welch


Until recently, 26-year old music industry supernova Florence Welch—the vibrantly diaphanous, ginger tressed front woman for The Machine—lived in South London with her mum. Could you die? Anyways, the idiosyncratically stylish singer recently settled into her own place, a wee Georgian cottage just a 10 minute walk away from mom.

Not surprisingly, as seen in a spread in the May (2013) issue of global fashion authority Vogue, the humbly scaled cottage presents as a slightly peculiar and authentically personal synthesis of grandma-style vintage meets organically inclined modern with a whole lotta gypsy glamour sprinkled on top and stuffed in the closets. Just like, some might say, Miss Welch who, along with her fearsome band, have two Brit Awards in their pocket and three Grammy nomination notches on their designer belts.

Anyways, children, note the giant oculus sky light over the eight-seat farmhouse table in the rustically wood-floored kitchen and check the number of dangerous spike-toed flats Miss Welch has at her ready disposal in her glamgranny-girlish designer duds stuffed dressing room.
