5 Minutes with Indigo Keane

Minutes with…

INDIGO KEANE

This issue, we spend five minutes with Indigo Keane, who recently joined the team as Jewellery & Luxury Assistant. Indigo brings her passion and wealth of knowledge of all things style and luxury to her work every day.

FAVOURITE MAKER / ARTIST

The performance art creations of Alexander McQueen have continued to inspire me for years and years. For me, his immersive runway productions throughout the 90s and early 2000s added an extra dimension to what fashion could be. His collections were surrounded by their own narrative, their own world. For me it was the perfect marriage of riveting live performance and breathtaking craftsmanship.

FAVOURITE PIECE OF LUXURY

This changes minute to minute depending on my mood… But today, I cannot stop thinking about the 1991 Salvatore Ferragamo stretch lycra catsuit worn on the runway by Linda Evangelista. Tight black lycra, covered in vivid multicoloured high heels… Delicious.

FAVOURITE COCKTAIL

I love a Campari on the rocks with a wedge of lemon on a hot day!

FAVOURITE BOOK

Carol by Patricia Highsmith makes my stomach drop, my heart race, and my cheeks blush every time I read it. Patricia’s writing is so bewitching. A book that I can read for the 57th time and still fall into a trance. YOUR IDEAL DAY IN MELBOURNE

The day would begin by switching on RAGE and eating an overwhelmingly fluffy croissant. Post-croissant, I would begin my power shop (cardio!), stopping in at Slow Waves, SHAG, Lost & Found and SWOP. On this ideal day, I would score the perfect vintage Versace frock at the bottom of a bargain bin... A good film to follow, on the couch, sandwiched in between my partner and fatso puppy. We would crack a bottle of bubbles and listen to 80s records whilst we slowly get ready for our 7pm booking at Bar Idda. A balmy Melbourne night surrounded by pasta, bubbles, frocks, and friends.
