I knew as soon as I saw her that this relationship would not end well. And to be frank, it didn't.
I met Diane in a café on Broadway near Rector street for lunch. She had Louis Vuitton 4 inch strapped heels, a Calvin Klein pencil skirt with a rear slit and a blouse from Lagarfeld. All in all the only thing out of place when she sat on that chair was the chair itself.
Yet, sitting opposite me was a person who ,in comparison to my hobo shique, look like a Channel size 0 front cover model. As I as wearing a Jack Wills jumper, cropped Jacques Very sail trousers which were high-waisted and was double-breasted type brass button with last year's McCartney's couture pumps.
It was definitely clear in that moment that we were in two totally different worlds. A realistic one and a spring collection/Milan fashion week centred one.

As soon as you say down to read this highly detailed introduction you may have thought: "Are these two lovers?", "Am I reading a book which is orientated around fashion?", "Or is it just this writer like to leave little to the reader's imagination when coming up with a character idea?"
Well, the true answer is, I don't know. Who does really? Do all good writers know the outcome of their story as soon as they start writing those opening words? Well, I don't and that's for sure and to be honest I probably never will.
So you have been warned and I am sorry for this short interruption. I will not carry on with this very fortuitous tale.

So it turns out that Diane's clothing company, Stuart limited, needs a totally new pair of eyes for their new 'from bedroom to ball gown' , title may be changed or simply reversed, line which is set to be the key feature of May's front cover of 'In or Out?'.
Which is why I as called in. Not only do I have degrees in Fashion and Fabric designs but my major in gossip/feminine journalism. So not only can I tell you what to wear and how to wear it but I can tell you how to display it on a magazine as to appeal to a variety of audiences.
