24. How would you describe your personal fashion
concept in 2007?
Well, I don't know about fashion concepts...I've been wearing jeans, and in particular, my Levi 501 jeans, for what feels like forever (not the same pair..!) regardless of whether they are in or out of fashion
(they're now "classics"!); I lived in my Tod's Italian leather loafers
well before they became the "in" thing; I simply couldn't survive without my pashminas (the real thing : from Nepal, India and Dubai Duty Free!)
and my love of tracksuits is near legendary !
According to friends "in the know", my style is "sport chic"...
All I can say is, that certainly sounds better than my own description of my
thrown together "look"..!
