First 90 secondsAlice Casely-Hayford· Host0:00
[upbeat music] Welcome to An Excellent Fit.
Kay Barron· Host0:07
Excellent Fit.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:09
A podcast on style, culture, and the stories we tell through what we wear, because getting dressed is never just about the clothes. I'm Alice Casely-Hayford.
Kay Barron· Host0:18
And I'm Kay Barron. [upbeat music] So today on An Excellent Fit, we are meeting Pixie Geldof, whose style I love.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:26
You and me both.
Kay Barron· Host0:27
When I think of her, I think of Miu Miu- Mm ... 'cause she's such a Miu Miu girl.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:30
Mm.
Kay Barron· Host0:30
So in her honor today, I have worn Miu Miu, and I've worn this skirt that I've never worn.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:37
Well, it looks fab.
Kay Barron· Host0:38
Thank you. I got it last year. I knew it was gonna have a moment at some point.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:42
Mm-hmm.
Kay Barron· Host0:42
And then I had Grazia message me last week asking for quotes because this summer is the season of the skirt.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host0:48
Yeah.
Kay Barron· Host0:49
And I thought, "You know what? I'm gonna get it out." And I love it, but it does also have a very small waistband, which means that I will either pass out midway through the podcast or I will just subtly unzip it as we speak.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:02
The latter, please- Fine ... if I could. Thank you.
Kay Barron· Host1:04
I will try. I will do that. And then a very old but classic Helmut Lang top.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:08
Mm.
Kay Barron· Host1:08
And I like a bit of an off-the-shoulder.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:10
Love an off-the-shoulder. On you, it looks fantastic.
Kay Barron· Host1:12
Thanks. With a little flirty eye. [laughs] Um, and it's something I return to again and again, um, 'cause it works well if I'm wearing something that's a bit wider on the bottom.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:19
Mm.
Kay Barron· Host1:19
And then some Miu Miu shoes. And this morning, which I think may have people in Milan at Miu Miu shuddering, the point of- Don't say it.
Alice Casely-Hayford· Host1:28
You're gonna say it ...
Kay Barron· Host1:28
the point of the toe
