Putting on The #Ritz Piccadilly in an original 1950's @dior dress & #fox-fur boa (especially beloved by all lovers of #hens) The transformative power of the #sartorial & #makeup is an art form in & of itself. #Fashion translates #ideas as any form of #art The #British have long used clothing to express our #ethics ⚜️ the term #turncoat was first used on the battlefields of the Civil War in the 1640's between the fanatical #Puritans who believed #beauty like #art #fashion & toys & games was sinful & wore an unadorned black uniform while the #Royalist #Cavaliers celebrated beauty, #freedom & #individuality wore brightly coloured #velvetjackets trimmed in lace (usually with a #poem concealed in a secret pocket) to remind them what they were fighting for. If the battle was going badly jackets were literally turned on the battlefield exposing #blacklining so #Cavaliers could live to fight another day!
