As a little girl, #quentincrisp instructed me; “Life’s too short to fit in!” & besides “you owe it to your biographer to make everyday extraordinary!” Growing up in #Mayfair I was told that once I walked away from the mirror it was the rest of the world who had to look at me. I was taught to ask myself, “if I was about to go to a Mayfair #Salon with playwright #AphraBehn 1649-1688 #QueenHenri #malfrith or #OscarWilde would this costume be worthy?” It’s always time to be sartorially daring. No one will thank you for fitting-in. #History is not made by conformists but #eccentrics bold men & women who dared to cut a line in the way they think, dress & live.” *Tyne O’Connell. @londonfashionweek carries the flame for sartorial eccentricity such as @velveteccentric @malanbreton & @joshuakanebespoke - by celebrating “fashion as art” But Fashion is also a means of expressing bold new ideas in a visual language as artist @highfashionhockey does with such a splash! @furiousgoose (at Mayfair) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8O8UAnHrj8/?igshid=1383ojaw7qu3b
