New York fashion week spring/summer 2001

- Jess Cartner-Morley on fashionThe big blue
There was a girl in the latte queue this morning wearing a polka-dot pussycat bow blouse. Technically, she was the second most fashionable person in Clerkenwell Starbucks, typing pool chic being, as everyone knows, the catwalk look for summer 2000. In strict catwalk terms, she was pipped to the post only by a two-year-old in a fetching broderie anglaise romper suit (the preview gossip from New York as we approach fashion week is that romper suits are set to be big news for summer 2001, I'm sure you'll be thrilled to hear). This blouse, moreover, was not an air hostess uniform or some such excusable garment, but plainly part of a strictly fashionable persona - hell, she even asked for soya milk, status symbol of a modish dairy-free diet.
