Only Mrs P could have so much fun with a collection of sciura ladies in their furs and pearls, on their way for a little ‘touch up’ at the clinic (possibly at
@studioborbon in Milan), greeted by doctors in white coats and medical-scrub blues — and a real life one, 70-year-old Shanghai based VIC
@i_doctor_qin who walked the show — pondering how to look younger, perhaps even *feel* younger. And yet this was a

“Every day I wake up and have to decide if I am a 15-year-old girl or an old lady near to death,” she said in her big Vogue interview. Getting older is complicated. We look back at clothes we once loved, once fit, and they’re mnemonic devices that form our biographies. And yet some things never change. Adulthood and childhood — mummy’s pearls, croc gloves, too-big house slippers, the strange way we go from hating our school uniforms to loving them as adults, the playful ness of crayon-box colours — all seen through Mrs P’s childlike curiosity. She is the woman we all want to grow into 💙 📸
