Every fashion editor has their own Achilles heel—a particular piece they find it near impossible to resist. And for me, that weakness is dresses. I’ve never really been one for trousers, but over the last few years, my dress collection has defined not only my wardrobe but also my persona. It’s become my signature.
But just because I adore them doesn’t mean I shop frivolously for frocks—quite the contrary. In reality, because I hold them in such high esteem, I probably give them more acute consideration than I would any other purchase. And in doing what I do for a living, I also see more dresses than your average person comes close to, so it takes a lot to impress me.
