So SARAH VINE was horrified by Posh's new show. Despite all the bluster, there is one currency in fashion that never loses its value: skinniness.
In that world, to be thin is to be successful, superior and celebrated. To be taken at all seriously in the cut-throat world of high fashion — the world of tiny A-listers and stick-thin fashion editors such as Anna Wintour — you have to be skin and bones.

With husband David and 17-year-old son Brooklyn in attendance, the 42-year-old former Spice Girl sent a series of emaciated models down the ramp, each clad in a selection of outfits that would have struggled to contain the assets of a pre-pubescent schoolboy, let alone a normal female.

PHILADELPHIA, United States — “Trump has a budget, Sanders has a budget, Hillary has a budget,” says Corey Roche, a personal stylist whose clients include politicians in Washington DC.
“There is [campaign] money allocated to fashion and clothes, because that is a huge part of marketing and branding.” Indeed, in today's media-saturated world, image is a key communications tool for heavyweight politicians as they craft their personal brands and election campaigns. Like actors, athletes and other celebrities, many major American politicians employ stylists and other image consultants. But the business of dressing politicians — some of the most heavily scrutinised public figures — comes with a unique set of challenges. At major political events like this week’s Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, where Democratic party nominee Hillary Rodham Clinton is scheduled to make her acceptance speech on Thursday, the level of scrutiny is higher than ever.
