Kate Moss, Winston Churchill Bring The Waistcoast Back

Kate Moss, Winston Churchill Bring The Waistcoast Back

Most people in fashion believe that if a butterfly flaps its wings in Brazil, this can be traced directly back to Kate Moss standing atop Primrose Hill and fluttering an eyelash. It's as if Creationism and the Great Man theory of history were rolled into one media-friendly package, with Moss in the combined role of God, Winston Churchill and Napoleon.

This might sound fanciful were it not for the killer piece of evidence I shall now unveil. Churchill wore a waistcoat, Napoleon wore a waistcoat - and, behold, Kate Moss wears a waistcoat. (OK, I have never seen God himself in one; indeed, by some accounts, he's still wearing a kaftan, which is a bit Primrose Hill 2006, but I guess he's out of the loop up there.)
