Don’t miss THE GLOSS MAGAZINE, out tomorrow, Thursday October 3, with The Irish Times …
The Accessories Issue
“When I shop I forget who I am, I forget what my life is like.” So writes Rebecca Willis in her new book, Life, Death and Getting Dressed – see an extract on page 46 of the October issue, out tomorrow with The Irish Times.
The Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus, (who died in 55AD), said, “Know first who you are; then adorn yourself accordingly.” We are constantly told to define ourselves, our style, and stick to it.
But milliner Stephen Jones, fashion icon and Creative Director of Hats at Dior – special guest at a recent GLOSS dinner in association with EY at The Merrion – persuaded the audience to think about turning up the volume and accessorising to take us “out of the ordinary.” In his Dior suit, with a gold brooch, and jaunty beret, Jones was style, charm and wit personified.
