It suits you, Daphne

Article Abstract:

Creating a designer outfit involves a great deal of work, as indicated by the time spent on this task for Daphne Priestley, winner of the Independent's 1995 Christian Lacroix competition. The outfit chosen, a black crepe trouser suit and a lavender satin waistcoat, needed several fittings, and the experts involved were determined to get the outfit just right. The resulting outfit is glamorous, yet practical enough to be worn frequently.

The look will live for ever

Article Abstract:

Jean Muir, who died recently, was extremely influential in the world of fashion. Her work has remained relevant over many years, and she was much more than just a fashion designer. She rarely attracted extensive publicity, and her clothes did not appeal to high-profile celebrities. However, she was highly respected for the thoroughness of her designs and their flattering nature.
