Let it never be said that American Vogue is not a gift that keeps on giving. Over the course of the last 48 hours we have not only learnt how to improve our conversational skills, the 8 mistakes everyone makes during a home renovation and how to avoid them, but also the 18 travel sized luxuries that will transform flying cattle class into a first class experience. Yes, apparently taking a carry-on cocktail kit on board can help to create a moment of Virgin First Class Heaven when trapped in the seventh circle of Ryanair hell. Every day American Vogue strives to change my life in meaningful ways, so why should today be any different? It isn’t. So what did we learn today? Prepare to be blown away, for the accessory of the summer is not an anklet, or yacht – though that was touted as the accessory of the summer last week but has now been usurped – the accessory of the moment is the common towel. Yes, that humble bathroom staple has been elevated to the ranks of high fashion. And what is it called? The twisty towel. You know that turban thing you do with a towel to dry your hair post washing, well this is kind of like that, but better. And how does one elevate twisty towel to the higher levels of glamour than Vogue mention? Get a Hermes towel duh! If a plain old white towel can get Vogue’s knickers in a twist, do one better and channel Joan Collins or the Isle of Capri with a rope printed number in shocking pink. Yes Vogue might have fed Carrie more than food, but nothing sates us quite like Hermes. And when you’re bored of wearing it on your head, which could be the case tomorrow, you can always lie on it instead. Or use it to dry your cracks. The choice is yours.
