UAstrid Andersen uphakamisa iimpahla zasesitalatweni ezifumaneka ezemidlalo-iyunifomu yemihla ngemihla yehlabathi kakhulu-ngokusebenzisa izinto ezenziwe ngobunewunewu kunye neenkcukacha zokuhombisa. Ubonisa umgca we-couture eParis onzima kuboya; lo mgca uphambili ubonise zombini uboya kunye neleyisi okwethutyana ngoku, kwaye uyayithanda ipastel. U-Andersen ucela umngeni kubathengi bakhe ukuba babonise ubukhulu obupheleleyo bobudoda babo phezu kwempahla echukunyiswe yi-froufrou.
Namhlanje kubonakala ngathi kumela ukuhamba kuloo template. Iitracksuits ezimbini zoboya obungwevu zonke ezineepokotho zepopper zazibonakala zimdaka. Kwaye linda, yayiyidyasi yoboya exegayo yenotshi-lapel? Kuyavunywa ukuba, idyasi yayinxitywe phezu kwebhulukhwe yomzila kunye nephaneli yegolide ye-Sophie Hallet yeleyisi ngaphezulu kwedolo-kodwa le nto yayivakala ngathi yinto enesibindi, ephantse yabuyela umva ukudityaniswa kwesiqhelo esothusayo ngaphakathi kobuhle bomyili obungenakuthenjwa. Ii-Chunky knits zaziphumla ngokulula phantsi kweepaki njengoko lowo uzinxibileyo wayenokwakhiwa ngokutsha ngewebhu yeziphu zegolide. Ivelor esongwa ngokungaqhelekanga ibisisiseko setracksuit yelouche. Kamva, kwakukho ii-remixes ezininzi zoboya be-sweatshirt kunye ne-dungarees, ngeli xesha kwi-RAF eluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kwakukho i-lace eninzi kunye necandelo le-pistachio elinamandla kubathengi abazimisele ukuzoba onke amehlo kwigumbi. Kwaye iigauntle ezifakwe ngeentsiba aziyonto iprosaic kwimpahla yobudoda. Ecaleni kwegolide, ipistachio iphinde yabalaseliswa kwi-tweed ephuhliswe ngokukodwa nguAndersen noLinton, umthengisi welaphu lesiNgesi. Lo ibingumsebenzi obangela umdla wokubandakanywa-ngokwandisa uluhlu lwakhe, u-Andersen ubonise ukuba isitayile sakhe esingundoqo sinokutolika ngaphaya kwesiseko sakhe sabalandeli. Lo mjongi kudala ewuthanda umsebenzi wakhe njengomsebenzi wobuhle kodwa yindoda engenathemba engazange ibonakale ifanelekile kuye. Namhlanje, okwesihlandlo sokuqala, ndiyakwazi ukucinga ngokulula ukunxiba enye yayo, nayo. Akukho nto nje kwipistachio.
