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

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

I am thrilled to become International Vogue Editor at Condé Nast International, which has a real commitment to journalistic excellence, and to have the opportunity to write for a wider global audience through the Vogue websites.

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

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.

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.
