  • "That style can be ageless is undisputed, as is the fact, I suggest, that style has little to do with the fluctuations of fashion and more to do with a consistency of approach, whatever that approach might be. " - Statement on fashion - 
  • Statement regarding fashion and time (probably in regards to the picture)
  • Analysis of the key aspects of the fashionable aspects of the picture 
  • Rhetorical questions in regards to fashion 
  • "This annual Ageless Style issue also gives us an opportunity to dedicate pages to the achievements of women across a number of fields who have grabbed our interest. " - reference to the issue and why chosen what dedicated to?

Attributes which I would certainly consider as ageless style."

  • choice of model, why, icon 
  • styled by and page number reference
  • describing the shot 
  • greatful for the creative director 
  • "While Ashley is, as the clichéd phrase goes, “all woman” and shot in raunchy tomboy style, Paul Wetherell and Kate Phelan’s fashion story “Forwarding Dress” (page 146) is the opposite." - comparison of stories 
  • "Through coincidence rather than intention, this month we are publishing an exclusive interview with Maria Grazia Chiuri (page 158), who has taken the helm at Dior. Maria Grazia is one of the very rare female artistic directors to take on a fashion house founded by"
