NET-A-PORTER-KILT- A-PRINCE

.

Colonel The Hon William Gordon


it seems each day brings a stuffed mailbox (yes the postman still walks-but does not ring) FULL of SEPTEMBER ISSUES- yesterday-Haper's Bazaar, as mentioned-with the Jennifer Aniston poses of Streisand, I do not like that.
Along with that cover -came the NET-A-PORTER FALL WINTER magazine FEMME FATALE. It is truly a slick savvy look at what magazines are really all about-NO BONES - Selling. NET-A-PORTER , for those of you who are-as one fashionista would say OUT- is a multimillion dollar online design-one stop-shop til you drop site created 10 years ago by Natalie Massenet. She sold her share of the company for an estimated £50m in April but "rolled back in" the day the news broke, investing £15m of her windfall back into the business. She remains executive chairman.

She tells the guardian- Her dream was to become a magazine editor but "I hadn't walked away from being editor-in-chief of a magazine – I'd just created a magazine for the 21st century instead, a hybrid between a store and a magazine that was delivered digitally " & now it delivers the paper too. Though it is all online I think Massenet must know the power of paper as well. The magazine carries a theme IT"S ALL ABOUT, and the most amusing find there is PRINCE CHARLES-full page picture- circa at his best age- KILTED.




It seems the KILT is ruling the runways again.
Again?
-and Charles is its most ICONIC wearer of note. This trumping- of All Clans and Usurpers of..., forget about the real historic figures- we talk of fashion- Sir Sean Connery, (there is a poll to help decide if you should or shouldn't here ), Rod Stewart, Vivienne Westwood, Liam Neeson, or personal favorite Marc Jacobs. see MEN IN KILTS here
No no- none of the above- but  THE PRINCE- CHARLES.

MISSONI
Patchwork Knit KILT




I say- I would wear something from either- within reason, Pringle bottom left, or the Missoni-(I use to be a big fan) top left (get me a shirt) I gave up my kilts as the twenties gave me up-the Missoni's as the forties gave me up.

Still got a kilt? Girls? Guys?
so many Men blogging about fashion-design.
so I wonder do they or don't they? should they?

I know IVAN should & his surfing Kings should.

I know BLUE does,
and surely this guy- TartanScot does? (if not, TS-what gives?)
Why yes he does- and the proof is here

I know these Satorialists have a least posted about KILTS, Search them : TOAD  MAXMINIMUS  the TRAD,

of extremes

Little Augury is always trailing off in this direction or that-
Come enjoy or dismay-
one reason You see Fashion on these pages - It is always out there. Women have every choice imaginable when it comes to what they put on their backs.
In thinking about it-
perhaps this is why Women love Fashion-
It is the only place where they have All the Choices.
In Life- Women still have fewer choices than Men.
It is Fact.
your thoughts?

Women go to extremes, their Fashion is as varied as, their Choices in Men, in Food, in Fetish, in Lipstick Color Hair Color, Shoe Color-
Not So in...

How far have Women Really Come?
your thoughts?

These two extremes last night at the CFDA Awards- and everything from A to Z- good to bad in between. For me two women that did the two extremes to the ultimate were Tonne Goodman and Sarah Jessica Parker.




Tonne Goodman looks fantastic-beyond.



Style.com's NICOLE PHELPS writes SJP "wore a long dress that Sarah Burton(Alexander McQueen's successor) handpicked for her to present a posthumous Board of Directors Special Tribute to Alexander McQueen."



the ELECTRIC MCQUEEN EXTREME
equally divine


For the most part MEN always manage to look good- great really.
Black tie, but why is FASHION limited for them?
