Leli qoqo laligcwele izingubo ezinhle amadoda amaningi—nalona—ayengajabulela ukwehla esitolo. Idenim, econsa buthule nemigqa eyindilinga enesihloko esifihlekile seconsi lemvula lase-Germain, yayimnyama futhi imashelele futhi yenziwe kahle. Kanjalo futhi kwaba nokukhethwa okubanzi kwezindwangu ezimboza, ezinsundu noma ezimpunga ezinosayizi omkhulu wentambo ebanzi kanye nengwe yazo efakwe kakhudlwana noma i-raia-camo intarsia finer-gauge cousins. Kube nokucwebezela okuhle kokubomvu kwethoni evaliwe-cishe umthunzi ofanayo nalowo esiwubone e-Maharishi nase-Astrid Andersen izolo-epaki elivuliwe kanye nebhomu elihlabayo elithakazelisayo eliphefumulelwe umthombo we-Mongolian ka-Christopher Raeburn. Ukubukeka okubili kokugcina okwenziwa ngama-poncho eqhwa amasosha agaywe kabusha kwakungama-Muppet-esque show-closers ngendlela egculisayo, kodwa iningi lamapaki alo mbukiso namabhomu kanye nabanye abasolwa abavamile bamajazi baphawuleka ngokuzibamba kwabo. Lokho okubomvu kanye nalawo maconsi emvula ngokuhlukana, bekukuncane kwe-quirk uRaeburn avame ukuletha. Njengokuhlangenwe nakho kombukiso ibingenakho ukushaqeka kanye nokwethuka.
U-Backstage Raeburn, 34, ubeziqhenya ngokufanele ngokwenziwa kanye nokulingana kwaleli qoqo. Uthuthela kusitudiyo esisha maduze, futhi usehlakulele ubudlelwano bokuthengisa obuhlanganisa i-Dover Street, i-Selfridges, ne-Harrods. Uthe: “Okunye kimina, ukuba neqiniso, ukuthi kuyajabulisa ukukhula nalo mkhiqizo. Mhlawumbe kunezinto engaziklama eminyakeni emihlanu edlule esengimdala kakhulu okwamanje.”
Lapha eLondon sifuna ukuba nekhekhe lethu futhi silidle; siyakhala lapho umsiki wengqephu owaqala emaphethelweni ngento yokuhlola angakusho kamuva ekhiqiza izingubo ezishintshiwe, ezihlotshiswe ngendlela evamile, eziklanyelwe ukuthengisa. Futhi-ke lapho abaklami baseBrithani behluleka ukuthola impumelelo yebhizinisi futhi bephoqeleka ukuthi bavale, siyazibuza ukuthi kungani. Namuhla uRaeburn ukhethe inkambo ehlakaniphe kakhudlwana—ngoba lapho kufika ukusunduza, ikuphi ukuvunyelwa kwabambalwa uma kuqhathaniswa nesiko labaningi?
