Portia Freeman giving us a ‘best of British’ look at Somerset House. Portia is wearing Charlotte Olympia shoes, Matthew Williamson trousers, Ossie Clark Jacket, Charlotte Olympia clutch bag with Charlotte Olympia shirt.

When I spoke to the extremely glamourous and tremendously talented quirky british shoe designer Charlotte Olympia, I mentioned that she ❨Charlotte❩ reminded me of a character out of Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby. To my surprise Charlotte told me she had just finished reading the book. I can’t wait  to see the movie remake by Baz luhrmann, shot in 3D and scheduled for release sometime in 2012. The Great Gatsby was certainly a zeitgeist for the times, and perhaps will be again…
