What's your fashion philosophy? Existentialist or socialite

Link
7/6/2008

"Excerpt: Garbo did it in the 1930s. Punk girls did it in the 1970s.
Madonna did it in the 1990s. I'm talking about boy chic. Butching it
up. Dressing in drag. Suiting yourself. F to M cross-dressing is
strange.

The effect is not quite what you might expect. Diane Keaton
single-handedly carries the flag for this look among straight
celebrity women. Her tailored English-public-school chic — more Waugh
than Rat Pack — is so at odds with the prevailing West Coast
blow-up-doll aesthetic that fashion pundits think she is insane and
put her on those "What was she thinking?" pages of the tabloids.
Fortunately, she does not seem to care, and continues to groove on her
inner garçonne."
