EMBROIDERED ‘PEACOCK FEATHER’ CAPE QING DYNASTY, LATE 19TH CENTURY

The long cape entirely constructed with layers of overlapping peacock feather shaped panels, each panel finely worked in satin stitch, the silk threads in tones of ivory, yellow and blue on the eye of the peacock feather, and the surround intricately worked in peacock feather filaments, with one cloth button on the collar and another near the waist, finished with Imperial yellow lining

Tibet, 1930s. Harrison Forman

The 108 braids is a reference to the 108 volumes of the Kangyur, the Tibetan Buddhist canon.

“Candy was very pretty. There was something very poignant about Candy as she embraced the imagined life of an actress. She had Kim Novak’s looks and was ahead of her time. Tragically she didn’t live long enough to see the time she was ahead of. A pioneer without a frontier as Andy (Warhol) would have said.”

/ Patti Smith on Candy Darling in her book Just Kids (2010) /

To commemorate Trans Visibility Day (31 March 2025), a portrait of haunting transgender Warhol Superstar (and the world's biggest Kim Novak fan) Candy Darling (24 November 1944 - 21 March 1974) by James Hamilton. For anyone interested in Darling’s story, Cynthia Carr’s 2024 biograph Candy Darling: Dreamer, Icon, Superstar is required reading.

#‘as Andy would have said’ fucking bullshit that man had nothing to say#whatever
