How Not to Wear Black

As Fashion Director of The Times Anna Murphy divides her time between the fantasy realm of the front row and what, to her mind, is the true fashion front line: the brands that deliver clothes for the real world. How to find the right pieces for your life, your shape; how to look effortlessly stylish and contemporary; and how to do it without stumping up a fortune - that's what Anna sets out to nail in her writing. And after more years than she would care to admit on the fashion circuit - first as Launch Editor of The Sunday Telegraph's "Stella" magazine, now at The Times - she's unbeatable on how finally to make fashion your friend.
