Vanity Fair: Think Hepburn!
Before you ask, yes, I know that’s not a picture of Ms. Hepburn. My girlfriend picked up a copy of November’s Vanity Fair, with a couture photoshoot entitled “Think Hepburn!” I was sitting across the room reading another magazine, and she excitedly called me over, shouting “Look! There’s a whole shoot of Anderson & Sheppard suits.” I don’t have to tell you all I was over to the couch eagerly leaning over her shoulder faster than you can say drape-cut.
