I get it.

One of the most amusing moments of London fashion week so far came after Richard Nicoll’s show on Sunday afternoon. The London-based Australian designer had presented a beautiful, quasi sci-fi collection that playfully incorporated lingerie elements, and the artist Linder Sterling had created masks for it, adorned with garter clips that swung as the girls walked. They were cool, but a bit perplexing; and sitting at the Aquascutum show later in the day, Suzy Menkes, the fashion editor of The International Herald Tribune, turned to Cecilia Dean, and in her proper English accent, asked her: “Do you still call them garter belts when they’re hanging off the face?” There really is no answer to that question.
