FASHION: AN OPEN LETTER TO CHRISTOPHER BAILEY

Dear Mr. Bailey:

I would like to congratulate you on your Fall/Winter 2010 collection for Burberry. It is quite simply gorgeous. Kudos to you for that. I also admire your graceful embrace of social media. This said, I do have a bone to pick with you.
First, I rather resent the fact that you've made me want to purchase virtually every single item you sent down the runway yesterday from inner wear to outer wear to accessories to foot wear. I may very well have to rob a bank just to afford it all. How irresponsible of you to create such intense longing and desire. During a recession no less!

Second, I have to date made a conscious decision to avoid fur. It's not that I don't love the look of it (let alone the feel) but mine is a principled decision. I have to date been able to remain true to that principle. Alas, while watching your runway presentation yesterday afternoon, I could practically feel my resistance breaking down and crumbling all around me. I want you to know that I hold you directly accountable for any compromise of my moral principles that may occur next winter. That's all.

Sincerely,

The Luxe Chronicles
