People Are Talking

Love Is Blind. We Are Not. British Newspaper Edition!

Today’s intrigue comes straight from the Times UK, where an article on painful clothing is riddled with fashion riddles:

One all-powerful editrix-in-chief recently joined a gym and went once, never to return. The fearsome fashionista couldn’t understand why her personal trainer wasn’t keen to let her on the treadmill in her Chanel platform sneakers with diamanté double Cs and dinky bows.
Name the editor, and remember to think on an international scale…


Then there is the talented fashion stylist who thought it would make perfect sense to wear next season’s double-faced bouclé wool jacket by Chanel to the beach. While everyone around her lay in swimwear, she stood defiantly in the sweltering 85F heat, peering at the bronzed bodies with mild disdain.
Name the stylist…

One high-powered fashion insider has such an extreme wardrobe that it requires an entourage: one helper to carry the three designer handbags she routinely totes, and another to cling on to for support when she totters around in impossible heels. “She threads her arm through mine, and we’re off. Well, she hobbles and I drag her,� says her appointed walker. “She’s not interested in living a normal life; it’s all about the clothes and shoes.�
This one is the most fun.

"...when she totters around in impossible heels..."

All I can think of is Mary-Kate when I hear that, but I really have no clue.

i'm going with victoria beckham on the last one as well. at tom cruise's wedding, she made a waiter hold her hat throughout the entire reception (he just stood there for a few hours because she ordered him not to let it touch the table - for fear of what, i don't know).

Vicky Beckham? Mary-Kate? Nicole? Hang on, I thought they were all meant to be industry people?

1. Carine Roitfeld
2. L'Wren Scott (maybe just from how pale she is...)
3. Rachel Zoe. I've seen her hobbling through Fred Segal.
