| There isn’t an outfit known to woman that can’t be accessorised at Christine. Constantly seeking sublime bits and pieces from every time zone; by now Christine Barro has probably covered every square inch of Paris (something Ms Hilton could hardly boast). The Sonia Rykiel and Longchamp bags span cutting edge to classic, while Anya Hindmarch totes continue to inspire imitators. Scarves and scents, hatpins and headpieces, belts and brooches; much of her stock is impossible to source without doing some jet-setting yourself. Prices range from the aspirational to the affordable, but given that accessories can rescue an entire wardrobe, who can afford not to visit Ms Barro? M.PADULA  Copyright © 2005 |
