“In the early 90s I had a summer job in Liberty on Regent Street, working in the furnishing fabric department. I spent a fun couple of hours one afternoon serving Paula Yates who wanted the boldest, brightest prints in the store.
“She pulled out a series of fabrics with huge fruit and vegetables on – strawberries, apples, tomatoes etc. I asked whether they were for upholstery or curtains. She just laughed. ‘Oh no, these are being made into dresses’.
“Sure enough, a few weeks later she turned up on TV and in the papers wearing said fabric.” |
