My style has always been to choose the charming and quirky.

The way
 that people dress makes them part of an army, dressed in their own uniform,
 determined to do something

The Romanovs are overtaken by the Indian Maharajahs as American heiresses pick over the carcasses of fallen Empire.

The clothes that fire up my emotions are colorful and "different" pieces. My eye still picks out gilded-cloque glamour from among Burberry's streamlined trench coats or a hand-printed coat from Dries Van Noten.

My style has always been to choose the charming and quirky.

Just as in life you always marry the same man, so I think you always buy the same clothes over time.

I am not bothered about fashion's speed-up. I find it quite exciting!
