"Fortunately, we had fashion history on our side. For the moment when I became editor of Vogue was a wonderful moment in fashion. It was the moment when the sportswear revolution of the 1950s reached its zenith: new fabrics, new technologies, and a generation of new designers stripped the idea of casual dressing down to its barest ingredients and came up with a new style of separates dressing that was so pure, so light, and so true to the move and contour of a woman's body that they redefined the entire notion of clothes. It was as though whatever energy was sending shock waves through society was revolutionizing the fashion world as well. Clothes no longer shaped the body, as they had through the stiff-fabric designs and industrial-strength undergarments of prior decades. Now the body gave shape to clothes, and the result was pure gutsiness, sheer ease, and thoroughly modern beauty."

"We are getting more than a bit sick of the mini versus midi battle (the maxi, thank the Lord, seems to have withdrawn from the battle). One point we would like to make: if girls are going to look good in the midi - and we've seen plenty that do - someone is going to have to come up with some new shoe designs. Those low, low heels which look so good with the mini, to be blunt, look bloody with the midi. But catsuits and pantsuits still need those low heels. Which means you have to have a double wardrobe of shoes and other accessories. Bit costly, isn't it?
