Wear the purple, eat what’s delicious. That’s the lesson of all those funerals. In Paris, I once bought a red velvet suit. Maybe our velvets will encounter each other one day. Xx

I think we should meet in either Rome or Paris in our velvet get-ups and eat everything in sight. I'll hold you to that, whenever you're ready! xxS

I can attest that the New Purple found the body it was meant to be on. Thank you for this lovely piece, for the mention, and for yours and Lorenzo’s softly diplomatic work. It was pivotal in the writing of my book.

Getting into the purple was a good move, Sheila. It looks fabulous on you and I love the combo with orange. Your have now completely legitimized my own purchase of green velvet pants just a few weeks ago. I should wear them more often!
