In a witty feature on British style written for Vogue in June 1991, Sarah Mower had rhetorically

asked, ‘What does a Frenchwoman do when she buys a Saint Laurent

jacket? She rushes home to show it to her husband. What does an

Englishwoman do when she buys a Romeo Gigli jacket? She rushes

home, feels ill, and hides it under the bed.’ Mower went on to note that, ‘In Britain buying expensive

clothes is a vice. Where the French expect quality, the British

suspect a rip-off. Where the Italians demand luxury, the British see vulgarity. Where the Japanese

consume labels, we diagnose insanity. And where Americans buy clothing to give themselves class, the British argue, “but we have it

already!”’

GAINING A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE IN LIFE FROM TRAVELING ABROAD, AND PASSING ON OUR INFLUENCES THROUGH OUR OWN PERSONAL ARTISTIC AESTHETICS MAKES US GLOBAL CITIZENS. KNOWLEDGE IS POWER, AND WE ARE ALL POWERFUL AND GLOBAL CITIZENS. MERCED JACKSON 21
