Tuesday 18th February 2014<\/span><\/p>\n

The Alice Temperley Show was given on Sunday at the Savoy Hotel. Aunt Lavinia and Cousin Lavinia and Cousin Bart couldn’t believe the state of Polpo where we lunched at my suggestion beforehand. ‘Those cracks have been painted on,’ I explained. ‘It’s the dirty food movement.’ Aunt Lavinia came back from the lavs gripped by horror. After, Cousin Bart said, ‘Is it different from any other tapas bar?’ But it’s Venetian not tapas. He hadn’t grasped.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then we gained the Show. This time the room was square and the catwalk carved a path up and down the space. We couldn’t get near the Greatnesses who were lodged in the middle. Joely was said to be in. Also Pixie or Frou-Frou or whoever. The great ramming of the Greatnesses by photographers seen in former years did not take place. Fashion’s massive spurt was not quite so massive, that heroic surge against death, with Greatnesses pouring into the salon for 45 minutes beforehand, then 15 minutes of hems and sleeves and draping and prints then everyone out, all over.<\/span><\/p>\n

This year, the real story was elsewhere. Strange that fashion is the fight against Death but a look can die in minutes. The jackette, which I have championed for four years at least\u2026 could it be dead? Jackets have gone in, they’re nipped in and they’re longer. Possibly.<\/span><\/p>\n

The big sensation was outside in the street. I actually saw those Givenchy floral shorts displayed at Harvey Nicks after Christmas. Someone was actually wearing them. Never before have I seen an outr\u00e9 look pushed by a shop actually worn<\/span><\/p>\n
