BLUE (VELVET) MONDAY
P and I spent last evening in Manhattan with friends Tom, Thomas, Jackie and Fairy Clothmothers Seyta and Ellen of Duchess, who are in town this week to service their East Coast clientele. Last night, they bestowed upon me an incredible gift: this eminently louche midnight blue velvet suit--something I have dreamed of owning for years. I immediately took it out on the town, and strolled throughout the chilly East Village without so much as a shiver--bloody things things are cozy! You don't even feel like you're wearing something so restrictive as a suit. Needless to say I'm over the moon; I might sleep in it tonight...( More gratuitous preening behind cut. Care to guess the color of the liner? )
Ladies: did I mention they are now doing suits for you as well? I saw a couple velvet three-pieces with the most playful liner patterns--florals, etc. You really should look into them.
Rockers: they are also doing skin-tight denim three-piece suits as well (one of which you may see on television soon, I'm told). If you're gonna sterilize yourself by way of tight, hot nethers, this is the way to go. Good fun!
And of course, they are still making lovely, dignified duds for down-to-earth dudes: nice, subdued pinstripes, classic cuts, and a minimum-risk fit.
The Duchess gals will be at The Gershwin all week. Thank you, Seyta and Ellen!
Love,
W
