Photographer Garance Doré published on her blog a dictionary of fashion fibs. "Talking Fashion" shows how fashionistas discuss sensitive topics, ranging from extra pounds and plastic surgery to occupational hierarchy. Snappy remarks, of course, abound. Here are some expressions and their meanings:
* "This sweater? It’s my daughter’s!" = "Look how skinny I am." "Sorry, I didn’t recognize you" = "you’re not important." "Haven’t you heard? I’m a freelance now!" = "I have just been fired." "Wearing the same haircut for 50 years" = "My name is Anna Wintour." Show up at fashion shows without a bag = "I have many assistants."
* Girlfriend of Scott Schumann, a photographer for Sartorialist, Doré is familiar face in fashion weeks. Write down the tips so as to not make a faux pas.
