LEE’S TAKE
My mother always said that money can’t buy taste, yet she loves Versace. That aside, it is true that you don’t need to be Daddy Warbucks to look a million bucks if you have a good eye and imagination. But if you are fortunate enough to be part of the 15% that has the resources (or access to ample credit that will never be paid off) to look a cut above the high street and thrift shop wearing plebs like me, then milk it baby.
Angela Merkel
Sensible with economic policy, sensible with clothes. Obviously the woman who is looking to save Europe from plummenting into financial apocalypse shouldn’t appear concerned with frivolous things such as fashion. The cost of a Valentino Couture dress could go into building a hospital ward. However, if I was the most powerful woman in the world, I would have a bit of fun with my appearance. I know, I know, if she did make an effort to dress up it would bring unnecessary attention to her appearance over other important matters and Berlusconi would be daydreaming about sinking into her clevage. Say we lived in a world where this wouldn’t happen (HAH). I would want her to dress like the most powerful woman in television history, Alexis Carrington.
She should have worn this to the G8 summit. That’s boss.
