In this week’s newsletter: Poor Bridget’s nouveau riche tastes are everything old money families like the Roys hate: loud, practical and the sign of a class interloper
Happy Succession week to all who celebrate (and if you haven’t watched the first episode of season four, scroll down to The Measure section now).
We need to talk about Tom Wambsgans’s scathing attack on fashion. In particular, a handbag which he deems “ludicrously capacious”. Not since Miranda Priestly’s takedown of Andrea and her cerulean blue jumper in The Devil Wears Prada have we seen such a succinct critique of fashion and society. The handbag at the crux of Tom’s lecture is from Burberry and costs over £2,500. It’s carried by Bridget, Cousin Greg’s unexpected date to Logan Roy’s birthday party.
