Its a complicated business, fashion. A sort of emotional science – find the right formula and you are singing with the angels, several stones lighter and with the confidence of a cashmere goat who has just negotiated a deal with a New York supplier. But get it wrong – and haven’t we all at times? – and you are blighted by rash of akwardness, the wallflower at the edge of the room whom nobody notices, or whom everyone notices for all the wrong reasons.
Finding the perfect outfit is like finding the perfect partner. We just know when it is right. I don’t just want a dress with edge, I want a dress with sides, corners, a top and a bottom and a lock on top so I can keep it safe and keep it mine. I want mine to be the one with the unfair advantage, the one on the red carpet at the Oscars that everyone photographs and the one I take home at night.
And when I find it I’ll let you know.
