(Introduction) 'For as long as I can remember, Michael Roberts has dramatised the fun and follies of the world in which I professionally operate fashion-like no one else. Speaking, as it were, on behalf of the skittish, excessive, and trend-enslaved creatures that populate the pages of this beautiful book, I must confess to a curious feeling of gratitude; curious because these illustrations are, above all, fiendishly accurate satire. I can think of two possible reasons for not minding in the slightest-and in fact loving all of it. The first is that it's always thrilling to be seen. The second is that, whatever else Michael conveys about my world, he never omits its glamour—a glamour that is not only about the dramatic and splashy spectacle of fashion but also about the talent and energy that underlie the business of designing and styling and wearing clothes. Michael, in other words, is in creative sympathy with his subjects. He loves their style, and he loves their passion...' ANNA WINTOUR
