Celebrity spawn

Christ Giles gets my goat. He continues to show in a space too small to fit in the majority of the press, yet fills his front row with fashion irrelevancies. Last season it was David Walliams, Margo Stilley & Savannah Miller, this year it was Lily Allen, Bee Shaffer, Francesca Versace and Kimberley Stewart. And what do they all have in common? They are the spawn of famous people. And let’s fine that down: people who famous for having a career of several decades, not several seconds.

Today’s published sharply falling ABCs (magazine circulation figures) are being put partly down to the public’s dwindling interest in D-list celebs. Please, please let that be true.

I think that's true, about the magazines -- it's impossible to keep track of all the people they mention and I think more focus would be good. What annoys me more is how much magazines (mainly Vogue) try to make certain models household names by every month showing them and their favorite outfits, favorite places to go out, etc. It's really really forced.
