“Alternating between blase nonchalance and brisk nattiness, the author was the matinee idol for fans and scholars alike.”

“They shared a general disregard for nattiness, an informal mode of speech, an obsession with detail, an irrepressible absent-mindedness.”

“Ms. Prada's collection is all British nattiness, with the tailoring coming from high-tech stretch fabrics and the richness from waves of bottle green, camels and grays.”
