I read the article a few days ago. I was waiting for the 'new' in news but unfortunately, there wasn't any.

I cannot believe AS wrote it, it seems so thoroughly 'old' and out of date. Fashion readers are the most educated about their specialist subject on the planet. I feel like I should bill Ms. Shulman for my time.
