...your inspiration for Madea--Flip Wilson's Geraldine, Mrs. Doubtfire or Sanford and Son's Aunt Esther? She's based on all of those people, plus Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence characters. If I hadn't seen a man put on a dress, I wouldn't have had the courage to do it. The inspiration comes from my mother and my aunt. Madea is the PG version of them...

In London he learned bespoke tailoring from Koji Tatsuno, and today his cut is tellingly clean (the French say d?pouill?), from the topstitch seam of a Napoleon jacket or the diamond pleat of a corset dress, to the fluted sleeve of the Anna coat from his most recent collection. "He understands subtle things that add something to the wearer's experience," says Somerville, "as well as being flattering and beautiful and classic." No wonder dedicated wearers include such style icons as Naomi Campbell, Lee Radziwill...
