Saturday 22nd September 2012<\/p>\n

Absolutely frantic: huge, huge party this eve I’ve managed to gate-crash. A 50th. Completely massive. Janet Street-Porter could be there.<\/p>\n

Fighting stains all day; also editing wardrobe, editing coat hangers, editing socks.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, with Aunt Lavinia to the Alice Temperley Show at the Grand Connaught Rooms this time. Aunt L wearing a black fedora by Alice Temperley, given her by Cousin Barley. Also a scarf which she said was designed by someone who formerly designed airports but had switched to scarves. Bought in August in Maine, on visit to farm of those friends of hers who mainly live on 5th Avenue. It turns out they’re old money; I’d always thought they were sitting tenants. Alistair Cooke lived above. \u00a0I said, ‘You might like the exhib of diamonds at Buckingham Palace. Granny’s Chips on view.’ She said, ‘I’ve only been to Buckingham Palace by invitation.’<\/p>\n

We were seated for the show. Last time we were standing. No great pre-whirr as before, no fashion journo greatnesses doing pieces to camera, no explosive arrival of P\u00eaches de Geldoff rogered by cameras.<\/p>\n

The occasion was indescribably great of course and by invitation only. Charming dresses. Silk for next summer, ladies, Dior-revival, big skirts, little waists. Temperley masterly with the difficult fabric, getting movement, freedom but also shape.<\/p>\n

Only afterward did we see Anna Friel, who’d been in the front row all the time. I’m not really sure who she is but I loved her look and her clucks. She was very swingy, very movemente,\u00a0<\/em>in a tiny blue silk shift dress and clucks dyed to match<\/em>. Fabric clucks. So thrilling.<\/p>\n

We lasted ten minutes at the after-party. Some kind of whisky cocktail on offer and loud music. Fashion industry guests of outstanding brutality, taut with grooming and the effort of bending the will to the ephemeral. A noble calling but costly, their work indispensable.<\/p>\n
