I nearly missed the second spot as you donāt expect to see two big fishes in quick succession even on LHR DUB and I was slightly under the weather after a late night early morning in a Soho bar (outside which I slowed down but did not stop a phone thief) but I digress.
I was alerted by the luxury fabrics in earthy hues that only a very financially success artistic type wears to Neil Hannon of Divine Comedy in the row ahead of me.
He looks like a millionaire geography teacher and is quite short. Heās a famous person who sort of resembles themselves rather than being exactly how you think heād look. He was accompanied by his partner who I googled to verify it as actually being him. Celeb spot two factor authentication.
Neilās partner is blonde but not as nice a shade as Vogue.
I left and they were at the baggage carousel which surprised me as I imagined theyād have residences in both jurisdictions and travel lightly.
The louche, rakish clothes and in particular the jaunty cravat suggested an insouciance in relation to financial matters.
He appears to have been travelling back from the premiere of Wonka based on my research since the spot. He didnāt appear to have over indulged at any post premiere event and/or party.
I preferred what he was wearing on the plane. Itās probably an outfit Iāll look to recommend over the coming weeks albeit at a more affordable price point. It could work for a lad visiting a partnerās parents for the first time over Christmas as it suggests class and financial independence without being crass. Itās the sort of outfit that would encourage a Muldoon mother to crochet a tie for.
