    Well said. I thought about your post while I was watching Tim's take on the most recent Versace collection. Maybe i'm deviating a little on the subject of this thread, but I find it an amusing trend when certain types of maximalism breeds substantial vapidness and insincerity in all other areas besides the visual spectacle.

    Faust I didn't necessarily agree with your article on politics and fashion until I saw what Donetalla had to say about her newest collection, phew...

      Agreed, but i think this matters less in an age of separates, and after all, he can always hire someone to 'consult' on dresses etc.
      I think the fit is great, we'll see how it pans out
