SIMON SAYS
SIMON DOONAN WAXWS POETIC ON AN ANGLE OF THE SUSAN BOYLE LOOK THAT ONLY AN UBER-FASHIONISTA LIKE HIMSELF HAS RECOGNIZED.
The Highbrow Unibrow: Susan Boyle's Secret Avant-Garde Chic
'Simon Says' by Simon Doonan The New York Observer
How come nobody has clocked it? Why the telling silence? Given the relentless dissection of the Susan Boyle phenomenon, you would think some hack or other might have gone beyond ragging on her eyebrows and identified the glaringly obvious truth. But no, yet again, it's left to yours truly to sort things out for everyone and point his little pocket flashlight at the elephant in the room. So here goes:
Susan Boyle is the chicest woman in the universe.
That debut ensemble, a kind of cleaning-lady-on-a-night-out look, was the very essence of insider fashion. It positively screams Miuccia Prada. The poignant white party shoes with the dark hose, the chocolate-box ribbon slung round the homemade lace dress-bonjour!-it could all so easily have been yanked straight from the Marni/Dries Van Noten/Margiela runway.
And then there was the whole Frida Kahlo unibrow: I have lost track of the number of Comme des Garçons fashion shows where the models were rocking that ferociously avant-garde un-tweezed Boyle brow.

Susan keeps me awake at night she haunts my dreams, I can't stop fantasizing about doing a make over on her. Last night it was all about shoes. What sort of shoes would Susan wear for the live finals? Eventually, I came up with a pair of red patent leather stilettos by Vivienne Westwood with a 6 inch steel tipped spiked heel. I don't care if she's got varicose veins or how big her bunion is I will cram em in or her pet cat Pebbles will get it! Think of those poor chinese women who used to bind up their feet. They suffered for beauty, even if it did make their feet all yellow and brown like pork rinds. She will wear a full length pencil skirt with a slit to the hip, a black satin/tarpaulin sash pulled tight at the waist and a red and white stripy top with a plunging neckline, she'll wear a beret on a jaunty angle and a black feather boa. There Ms Boyle I think your done! But wait there's the jewellery, nails, hair, accessories.
