Looking Your Best - Fashion

Fabrics are terribly important. I swear by real things. I loathe synthetics. I don’t like the colours as they’re usually very bright and garish, and I also think they have a clammy feel, especially some place hot like New Zealand.

– Leslie Field on her belief in natural fibres

I always claim that buying clothes is exactly like doing the family grocery shopping every week. You buy protein: the meat and veg of every meal are the separates, and the staples in your wardrobe that go on year after year. The carbohydrates are those dazzling little extras that you wear with your coat, with your skirt or suit or dress, that make it all come together and make you look special.
