She wore Dior. She’s in Calvin Klein.
She wore Versace. He’s in Chanel.
She wore Marchesa. She’s in Vera Wang.
She’s wearing Zara. He’s in the same thing from H&M.
She wore that well.
That dress is eating her alive.
She looks stunning.
That pattern really dominates the picture.

What is fashion? What is stye? Do clothes speak?
Who made it? Where is it made? How is it made?
Who was it made for? Why was it bought?

What is too much? What is too little? Who says so?
“The sexiest people are thinkers. Nobody’s interested in somebody who’s just vain with a hole in their head, talking about the latest thing – there is no latest thing. It’s all rubbish.”
– Vivienne Westwood
