I know, Right. Vera was on a documentary and I thought she needed some color to those cheeks! Mascara would help wake up her face, too!

I will repeat--- it's about ELITISM.

Similarly, women who work in expensive hair salons seem to have the worst hairstyles imaginable. Odd colors, hair sticking up in strange places, asymmetrical bangs, etc. How will a client trust your advice on a new 'do when you got that haystack on your head?

I don't get Anna Wintour supposedly deciding what everyone will wear each season, but going with a "timeless" hairstyle and look herself.

That's because they're 'creatives' or artists. Maybe you're right and that also applies to many fashion designers (the ones who make an effort, like Marc Jacobs now, not the sloppy/lazy ones this thread was made about). There's no job requirement to make tasteful style for other people. It's mostly technical skills mixed with creativity. Buyers/customers have the wrong idea. I suspect that there's some link between where a designer is on the creativity-technician spectrum and how he or she dresses.
