I’m glad that Susannah Frankel won. Her piece in Vogue was some of the best mainstream fragrance magazine writing I’ve read in some time – maybe ever. I’ll check out her Independent piece as well.
When did she have a piece in Vogue? Sounds like something I should read!
Oh, it was the one that won the award!
Sorry…did you get the authors mixed up — do you mean the Francesca Segal piece in Vogue?
oof!!! Yes I did. Sorry!
No biggie…just wanted to read the right article!
