Being interested in new perspectives looks good on anyoneSkirts are getting shorter. I’ve been thinking about this for a while, but I didn’t want to bring it up until I was sure. At fashion week, the skirts I see on catwalks have been getting shorter for ages, but it’s only in the past year that I’ve really noticed skirts in the wild, the ones that live on pavements and in offices and on trains, following suit. Fashion week is a bubble that doesn’t mean all that much on its own. Lovely clothes on a catwalk are not actually fashion. Fashion is when people start wearing something in real life.The return of the miniskirt has been happening on the catwalk for three years, at least.

This felt like it might be significant, because Dior have form for setting hemlines that come to rule the world, from 1947’s full-skirted New Look to the between-knee-and-ankle midi length that dominated the years before Covid blanketed the world under sweatpants. But those immediate post-pandemic years were a funny old time in fashion, where we all talked a good game about being desperate to dress up again but pretty much carried on wearing nap dresses and lazy-girl drawstring-closure stuff.

By high school, he was travelling with Little Richard on his European tour, standing stageside every night to watch support band the Beatles.By 1969 he had been dubbed “the fifth Beatle” (he was co-credited on the track Get Back), and went on to be one of George Harrison’s right-hand men after the guitarist went solo. “Billy never put his hands in the wrong place,” Ringo Starr says. “He was so great.” Continue reading... ... 29.11.2024 13:00 Former Liverpool manager’s rented home fends off 27-bedroom manor house as website’s most-viewed propertyA home fit for football royalty and a grade-I listed abbey are among this year’s most-viewed properties on the listing website Rightmove.Jürgen Klopp left his job as manager of Liverpool in May, and in October the six-bedroom home he was renting from the Merseyside club was put on the market at an asking price of £4.25m.
