Issue #19: Chelsy Davy Style Maven
Being a Lady:
Dressing Well, Not By Age
Prince Harry’s girlfriend Chelsy Davy has been labeled a ‘chav’, but couturier Matthew Williamson — whose clients include Sienna Miller and Jade Jagger — says there’s nothing wrong with Chelsy’s wardrobe. He counters that people are “mean” to mock Chelsy.
Chelsy is now a public person by virtue of dating Prince Harry, and no matter what anyone says, good or bad, she’d better just get used to publicity. Meanness or niceness doesn’t matter. People are going to talk no matter what.
However, if one wants to garner good press and get compliments, not to mention respect, tight clothes and short skirts are not the way to do it.
Proof? Look at the princesses and queens of the world. Look at our very own Queen Elizabeth. Do any of these ladies dress in anything other than sheer elegance? You don’t necessarily need large jewels or tiaras to be glamorous, it’s the cut and fit of well made clothes. Having genuine style is what makes people admire you, not constant reminders that you have cleavage.
Chelsy’s reputation for her rather interesting wardrobe isn’t helped by Matthew Williamson. Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, he makes himself sound a bit dodgy. “The worst thing in the world is when people start dressing older than they are, and she [Chelsy] certainly doesn’t do that.[..]”
Dressing “older” than they are? Is he implying that older means dowdy? I suppose Mariah Carey, nearly 40, is acceptable because she wears extremely tight clothes and short skirts. Apparently, dressing “younger” than you are is fine while dressing with some class is not.
Williamson will have a fine career in Hollywood!!
