Texas governor Rick Perry’s wife, Anita, has come out slugging in her glittering leopard-print jacket against what she sees as the unfair treatment of her husband. She tearfully said that he has been ‘brutalized’ for his faith.
The first day of the shoot, I had been in my trailer and came out dressed as Peter Parker in his slightly daggy corduroy jacket with his camera around his neck. Almost instantly, 500 or more people just stopped and started to watch us. They were calling out my name, calling out, ‘Peter’ or ‘Spidey’.
When I went to university I survived on jacket potatoes and pasta for three years.
I’m not one of those girls who can think, ‘Right, I’ll put a scarf with that and a little brooch there and maybe a vintage jacket.’ I’m so impressed with girls who look terrific in a little thing they picked up at the local charity shop. I just look scruffy when I try to do vintage.
One of my favourite items is a very old jacket – it was my mum’s uniform from when she was working 15 or 20 years ago.
I couldn’t deal with playing a character who rides motorcycles and has a leather jacket and is a tough kid, y’know?
I love the look of books published by the firm of Rupert Hart-Davis: They strike me as handsome, elegant, and inviting. I’ll pick up almost anything with that imprint, especially if it’s in a jacket or priced low.
My on-set, keep-warm jacket is a Patagonia, and they make sure the people who make their clothes are paid fairly, along with a load of other great stuff and initiatives. They’re a business, but they put their money where their mouth is in terms of caring and responsibility.
We ended up all living in a one-bedroom apartment that cost $80 a month and sleeping on the floor. My jacket was my first pillow. We really had nothing at all.
I can’t live without my leather jacket – it’s the best way to dress up a plain outfit.
I usually like loud T-shirts and band shirts, so I just try to keep it as simple as possible with jeans and white kicks that are worn in and, like, a simple jacket.
I like the way corduroys feel. I like the sort of jean aspect of corduroys, but also the texture of them. They probably remind me of my childhood, too, I think. I wore cords, and my dad had a corduroy jacket.
Here’s my rule: You always want to pay cash for your own books, because if they look at the name on the credit card and then they look at the name on the book jacket, then there’s this look of such profound sympathy for you that you had to resort to this. It really is withering.
If I can raise more money for charities, or get more Canadian kids to play golf, the green jacket will mean even more.
Tailored jackets with jeans is a great look for all ages. Dress up with a heel and pretty shirt, or just wear a smart T-shirt under the jacket.
These days it seems that every big, new, heavily promoted children’s book is rather like the ghost of poor old Jacob Marley. Each one comes trailing a long, clanking chain of references – in the form of overexcited press releases and slightly hysterical jacket blurbs – to bestsellers of a supposedly similar nature.
I have a look for everything I do. No matter what I do, I try to dress the part. In the garden, I’d wear vintage Levi’s, because they do a thick corduroy trouser and mine have got patches on them. So I’d wear them. And a tweed jacket. The full look.
You can’t be glued in the ’60s. Walking around, going up the pub or popping to Tesco in a hunting jacket.
As a child, I would rush to the school gates as the bell went, to be collected by my mother, Marilyn, who was always immaculately dressed in a pencil skirt and matching jacket.
I have a really great show jacket from Lavalliere that’s really well made, and I have a great pair of Gucci jodhpurs, which is hilarious.
If the plane lost all my luggage, and I was somewhere sunny like Ibiza, I would just get a bikini, shorts, T-shirt, and sandals. If it was somewhere colder like New York, I’d go for jeans, jacket, and a pair of Louboutins.
I’m a Hollywood writer, so I put on my sports jacket and take off my brain.
I love a pair of sexy heels with jeans, a nice jacket, or a little dress.
It was Julie Burchill who decreed that, beyond a certain age, a man should not be seen in a leather jacket.
