At last some excitement in high-end fashion. After years of drear, drear and rocketing prices (hence one has abandoned for Zara and Topman, even though the cloth is sometimes slimy) a new talent at Gucci has had a absolute brain-wave for menswear. The fashion Press are raving. I read about it on the plane to Vienna. Suits in chintz, other garments in lace and fur, tops of mousseline chiffon in a cafe au lait shade. In other words, ladies’ clothes offered for men. Can you imagine anything more new? Lord Arrowby will look sensational. He is a certainty for the look because he has now rocketed to the very pinnacle of our country, or one of them. It is a pinnacle nobody knew about before, so high it couldn’t be seen. His frock money will rocket also so a foamy cinnamon top at £900 will be as nothing…
