Plus: How the Met Gala became less about fashion
| | | |  | By Lisa Armstrong
Head of Fashion | | | When it comes to denim, I’ve been lumbered with this old-fashioned idea I can’t shake off: jeans don’t work in the office. Until now. Join me in my search for the perfect sleek-smart jeans outfit, because when you hit the right buttons, it’s such an easy, youthful win.
From the wearable and useful to the Met Gala, which has become less and less about clothes – a number of guests on Monday evening looked as though they weren’t wearing any, others weren’t wearing them in the conventional sense – and increasingly about lowest common denominator and power (Anna Wintour).
I’m all for a bit of lightness in the gloom, but the Met Gala becomes more tone deaf with every passing year. There’s a way of celebrating the artistry of fashion and the joy of dressing up without this gladiatorial battle for clicks, surely.
Until next time,
