I have often pressed my nose against the window of Didier Ludot in the Palais Royale and dreamt of the red carpet occasion where I might be royally frocked in vintage haute couture.
It’s funny how the imagination can run wild with a small glance and thoughts can multiply into a thousand different scenarios in the space of thirty-seconds.
The hallucinogenic power of the fabulous dress, especially vintage, is under-rated.
The emotions that can race through the body – danger, disaster, disappointment, impulse, seduction and ecstasy.
My flirt with temptation came in the form of a Nina Ricci 1956…pretty, don’t you think? xv
