Speaking of London, THE FACE has its annual list of "Most influential people in fashion", and it is quite weird. These are the results:
1. Marc Jacobs 2. Nicolas Ghesquiere 3. Tom Ford 4. Bernard Arnault 5. Ambien 6. Patrizio Bertelli & Muiccia Prada 7. Rose Marie Bravo 8. Pam Skaist-Levy & Gela Nash-Taylor 9. David Beckham 10. John Galliano 11. Tina Knowles 12. Sue Ryder 13. Jeffrey Tweedy 14. Jane Shepherdson 15. Steve Klein.
Now, excuse me, but: Where is Alexander McQueen? Where is Donatella Versace, who is certainly much more influential than Prada? And with all due respect to Burberry's renaissance, what is Ms Bravo doing on # 7?
here is Steven Meisel? Susie Menkes? What is a vulgar cou[ple like the one on #8 doing there (not to speak about Beckham) when Heidi Slimane is out?
Oh well, lists are stupid anyway. What's clever? Their fashion feature with Agota Varga, looking simply good enough to eat. The photography is by Diana Scheunemann, I'll try to scan it by the weekend.
