I love how sometimes some things are so crazy they just work. Take for instance, the Prada Banana skirt, seen on all the editors at the past shows, prancing through all the editorials over the past couple of months. Ever since I saw that Loren Abood, owner of my favourite store bloodorange and one of the most stylish women on the planet, had this skirt I was intrigued. She is, after all, the woman who inspires my to wear tailored pants, a Gary Bigeni tee shirt and k.jacques sandals - no bells and whistles. How would she make something so, well, bananas, work? She doesn't disappoint. At RAFW Loren paraded the banana skirt in the best way - toned down with a simple white sweater and Alexander Wang heels and delicate jewellery. The effect was incredible. Fun without being crazy, quirky without being naff, cool without being hip. Basically exactly what bloodorange is like. Why did I ever doubt it!
