When I began working in fashion, the importance of formulating your own, original style was a lesson passed down from the top editors to the rookies. It is important. But what was unspoken back then was how everyone – and I mean all of us – takes note of what others are wearing, and incorporates elements into their own repertoire. From the Duchess of Cambridge, who has frequently borrowed looks from her late mother-in-law, to Sienna Miller, who, early on, freely riffed on Kate Moss’s style, who in turn took notes from Marianne Faithfull – at any age, there’s no shame in observation and incorporation. Finding women of a similar age, with a relatable shape, taste and outlook, is inspiring and helpful.
