The most insightful criticism on fashion is perhaps one that is given by someone with restricted knowledge of the subject or even total lack of what fashion is, as envisaged by designers or portraiture of discerning dressers. Their platitudes make for good entertainment.
It is why watching the likes of Ian Mbugua playing the role of fashion cop with ill-humoured wisecracks on sartorial bloopers on the red carpet is an exercise in understatement.
