Hello lucky readers! I’ve managed to secure lovely large versions of Maurice Vellekoop’s illustrations from this past Saturday’s National Post Style Quarterly, as well as the text of the piece by Nathalie Atkinson. This is one of the many reasons that I love actual, physical newspapers–they do beautiful, wonderful things like giant fashion illustrations by some of my favourite artists, and get witty and skilled journalists to write the whole thing up. Kudos to The National Post for commissioning this fun feature, and thanks for letting me run with it…!<\/em><\/p>\n

“I hope there’s a red carpet at check-in,” says Marla, feeling the Sixties retro-futurism vibe of her Narciso Rodriguez ensemble (made all the more over-the-top with a Jimmy Choo bag).<\/div>\n

Model of the moment Katya is starry-eyed, fresh off the plane from Eastern Europe and worries she doesn\u2019t have a thing to wear: luckily John Galliano went to town in the Balkans with folkloric embroidery and traditional costume headdresses. \u201cDahling, anybody who tells you that less is more is simply old, like me,\u201d purrs her booker Joan, in Jil Sander.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s always happy hour in the First Class Lounge. Sheila and Karen aren\u2019t frequent fliers but their Marc Jacobs (L) and Christian Dior outfits (R) were all the points they needed to breeze past those adorable security men. (That, and the promise of mile high club benefits.) “If anybody gets suspicious,” whispers Sandrine, “just repeat after me: ‘Oh, how I miss the Concorde.”<\/p>\n

The same charm doesn\u2019t work on Customs, alas, as this ill-fated trio soon found out. Search and seizure agents were immune to the persuasive sartorial powers of Alexander McQueen (L), Miu Miu (M) and Comme des Gar\u00e7ons (R) and immediately confiscated the spoils of several fashion weeks\u2019 worth of front row swag. Isn’t air travel glamorous?<\/p>\n
