A reader question:
Hi Muffy,
May I ask a question please.
How influenced were readers by their parents style of dress and behaviour bearing in mind the changes that the world has seen in recent decades?
From my own standpoint having lived through many different fashion fads in my early years I have realised in later life just how much of an influence my parents were. My father was military so smartness was imperative as were manners and both are (and always have been) very important to me. He was also a countryman and I inherited his love of country sports (and clothing) although strangely my brother didn't. My father knew how to dress for all occasions and he passed that knowledge on to me for which I am grateful.
Readers thoughts?
Kind regards
Profoundly influenced by my forebears: architecture, gardens, Southern furniture and all manner of style elements. My grandmother's impact upon my own style choices practically became a neurosis. She gave me my first Chanel No.5, my first Claire Burke potpourri, my Stieff Rose flatware, my first pearls and gold charm .... Collars up !!!
