Grey is the new black

Kudos to apparel catalogue Toast for featuring a model with a mane of grey hair in its Autumn catalogue. According to an article in the Observer in September, Toast is bang on trend. Apparently, women are increasingly seeing “natural grey as chic” and that “there’s a real shift in our perception of grey hair”; so three cheers for Toast for projecting a more natural body image. 

Guest appearance

It’s a well-known movie fact that Alfred Hitchcock appeared in every film he made. And if you’re looking for a good cameo in the direct selling world how about this from Peter Christian? On page 3 of the menswear cataloguer’s Jack Frost Collection 2009 appears the company’s managing director Nick Alderton, uncredited, sporting the limited edition knife and fork braces. With him are a regular Peter Christian model on the left and—so I’ve been told—Alderton’s personal Italian chef on the right of the photo.—MT
