August 2012: Letter from the editor
I can do minimalism, Parisian polish, rock ’n’ roll and full-on glam. But there is one style that I will never be able to grasp: off-duty model.
When they are dressing themselves, models have a nonchalant way of throwing pieces together that looks so right (“Model Behaviour,” page 100).
If I attempted a riding jacket over a pouf skirt, or a sequined mini with white bucks, I doubt it would have the same modern charm. So I stick to my usual (safe) way of styling myself and envy those who are more daring. What I really need is a full day at home alone, the services of an expert stylist and an open mind.
“I wish I had time to play with what’s in my closet,” lamented a finance executive I met recently at a fashion industry dinner. Immaculate in a white shift, with garnet teardrop earrings twinkling through her blonde hair, she looked as if she had nothing but time on her hands.
