Colette
Magazine editor, Paris
I've edited three magazines, two of which no longer exist. I've sat front row at every show worth sitting at and walked out of half of them. I haven't been impressed since 1998, but I'm open to it.
At work
Dana asked about a navy striped tee.
What she owns
buy
A classic, finally behaving itself.
Hm. The navy-and-white stripe earns its place with the camel coat, black jeans, and brown boots; the palette is disciplined, which is more than I can say for most proposals. Wear it beneath the coat, or under the rust shirt if you insist on layering. The cut is plain, but plain is not a crime when the proportions are clean. Buy. It will make the existing pieces look intentional, a rare achievement.
