Interview by a vampire

The barbeque went well, you’ll be pleased to hear (see previous post), though apparently I looked more ‘bad’ Sandy from Grease than Marilyn. As Olivia Newton-John had an enviably tiny arse in those spray on trousers I’m choosing to take this as a compliment, though in fairness it was probably the leather jacket and fag hanging out my mouth that did it. Must be getting old- one late night and the body clock is screwed for days.  Not good when I had to get up and go interview The Boss himself, Harold Tillman, owner of Jaeger and head honcho of the British Fashion Council. In his honour I wore a black and white polka dot Jaeger London dress accessorized with a Chanel-esque black and white cardie and my cheapo Debenhams cream patent mary-jane platforms. Tillman (impeccably dressed in a rather dapper suit and tie) was lovely to interview- incredibly friendly and gave me some fabulous quotes, though bless his cottons he was struggling with his Blackberry when I arrived. Goes to show, you can command a retail empire but not fully grasp predictive text. Read the full interview in the Sun 8th June issue of the GFW Daily, distributed at Graduate Fashion Week (8-12 June 08, Earl’s Court) and available in major River Island stores that day. www.gfw.org.uk.
