This week, Alexandra Jacobs heads to the new Stella McCartney in Soho, in search for the designer's "Miracle" dress. (The one that Kate Winslet wore, twice.) It was sold out, so instead she tried on "a backless black creation that was like wearing an open camping tent." She then muses on the fitting rooms, the merchandise, and the prices by referencing different Beatles songs. An example: "GOOD DAY SUNSHINE The service is cheerful if occasionally uninformed." [NYT]
