Julia Gillard’s fashion choices trigger debate Down Under
By ANISunday, July 11, 2010
MELBOURNE - Australian Premier Julia Gillard’s fashion sense has sparked off a heated debate among the nation’s most stylish.
Topping the list is a patterned coat Gillard sported on a visit to a Queanbeyan shopping centre during her first week as the Prime Minister.
And this coat - which one Melbourne stylist said looked like “a cheap motel bedspread” - isn’t in any way cheap.
The double-breasted piece is available at high-end Sydney store Library for a good 1250dollars, reports The Daily Telegraph.
It’s just one of a swag of items Gillard recently purchased from the Phillip St boutique, which custom-tailors suits for its high-profile clients.
Library also exclusively stocks French designer label Anne Fontaine.
It’s believed Gillard bought 12 suits and a selection of shirts from the store - an impressive shopping spree, considering she receives no clothing allowance. (ANI)
