A Form of Ugliness So Intolerable

As a result of my belligerent disinterest in the world of fashion, I’ve been entirely ignorant of the fact that Little Wolfie has now been moonlighting as the new Kate Moss for the past four months.
As part of Burberry’s new campaign to demonstrate their clothes aren’t entirely for Victoria Beckham and people who want a weekend alternative to manmade fibre, Patrick Wolf, Edward Larrikin (then fresh from the sadly late Larrikin Love), Agyness Deyn and a handful of other people that to be honest I haven’t heard of have been appearing in magazines and on billboards all over the capital since June. Shows you how much I get out these days. I’d imagine that using famous musicians is the industry’s way of bringing the label “back to the people”. Oh Fashion, you cunning thing.
Beth found the above in a magazine left on the tube. I do like his coat, though am sad to see that retro military clothing has now, inevitably, hit the high street stores.
Fashion: n. The art of raiding the bins of yesterday, scraping the vomit off its discarded items, and charging ten times as much on account of your having added an extra button.






Cynicism, thy name is Ben. I think you would look just lovely in that coat, darling. She kind of scares me.

Pfft. Don’t worry, Ben. You know that Patrick’s just doing it for the irony.

I’m sorry, nobody rocks a full-length military coat quite like you, Ben.
