‘I love this jacket. It has so much personality. I don’t think I’ve ever owned a piece of clothing that has as much character as this piece has – all of its own. But what’s brilliant about it is that its character seems to enhance and amplify your own. It’s the kind of jacket that turns a simple outfit into a ‘look’, in fashion parlance. And it’s unbelievably handy for my work as a journalist. Its first outing was on a press trip last week to see the house and studio of Alexander Calder in France. And as I toured the house I had a pocket for my phone/camera, a pocket for my notebook and pen, and I didn’t need a bag at all. I think I might commission another one – perhaps wool – for winter and just dispense with handbags altogether.’
