" . . . all the way to the gilded rooms of the Paris couture, where I was when it happened."
This is what I find most egregious about you Vanessa, that you would even think this way about yourself at all, but then you actually don't know any better and actually write it down and on top of insult to injury, publish it.
There's a song from the 70's that captures your myopic, narcissistic, and deformed presentation of fashion in the Times, "Your're So Vain". But someone like yourself (and trump) would never comprehend that it's about you, would you?
And don't think that I come from what the .01% dismiss as a populist. I happen to have trained in couture workrooms and understand full well the full spectrum of fashion of which you seem to perceive the small sliver an elitist blind person like yourself whittles down a task for because, well, it's all you can do and try to pass it off as all that matters. Your a failure to fashion.

Agree
I've always believed Mr. Federer to be the thinking man's tennis player. If his trophy mill career was not one for the books, his quiet grace would make him a notable athlete in the wake of other controversial sports figures both in- and outside of tennis. Mr. Federer defines subtle lavishness yet he is not flashy. That makes his decision to to endorse Uniqlo seem quite fitting. And why not step out and be one among few versus being part of the Nike mill. Outside of tennis, Nike relationships dominates and supports many other sports and noted athletes. Mr. Federer has chosen well. He is known for outstanding play and for excelling at the basics, not for flashy moves. The two should do well together.

@MMB Not flashy? That rhinestone jacket is the absolute epitome of vulgarity and poor taste. And if you think he is the 'thinking man's tennis player' you should read some of the absolutely filthy abuse posted against his opponents by some of his fans since he lost at Wimbledon (and many times previously). Not to mention completely stupid comments such as 'How dare they take him off HIS court' and 'Djokovic damaged HIS court' when he was obliged to take a turn in his marshmallow draw for the FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS on Court One instead of Centre Court. And let us not forget the US Open 2015, after which he praised the disgraceful behaviour of the 23,000 strong crowd who booed and jeered at every shot his opponent made, when he could easily have let it be known that this was not fair or acceptable from his 'thinking' fans. I can recall many instances when he has been extremely ungracious in defeat and has shown temper tantrums on court, so let us not pretend that he is anything more than a tennis player, albeit a good one, and not as some seem to truly believe, the second Messiah come to save us all.
@Kanga. Who do you like in tennis?
