Cut and thrust
OF LATE, I have found myself thinking not, “I am a fashion addict, where’s my next hit?” but rather, “As a responsible citizen, which brands do I want to support?”
The answer has been smallish, quality-obsessed British labels: fashion fetishist Alexa Chung, tweed maestros Holland Cooper, silk and cashmere queen Tabitha Webb, and maximalist long frock and coatigan guru Hayley Menzies. Chung and HC founder Jade Holland Cooper make for an interesting comparison. On the face of it,: all pie-crust blouses, baggy sweaters, and puckish lads’ rags.
