    I'm completely the opposite - actively avoid anything with obvious designer names on it. Frankly covering yourself in advertising is chavvy. A genuine haute couture dress or whatever doesn't have the designer's name emblazoned all over it (not that any of the high-street "diffusion" stuff was ever designed by anyone other than a Chinese sweat-shop lackey anyway.)

      Balmain, Gucci, D&G seem to disagree.

          The reason? That cotton T-shirt had cost over £80.

          My husband has a love of all things designer. If it doesn’t have a “name”, he won’t wear it. Shoes, jeans, T-shirts, jumpers, watches – all have to be designer.

          We both earn well – he as a manager in a tech firm, me as a private tutor – yet I would never dream of spending the amount he does on designer clothes.

          But I feel ridiculous complaining, because he has always been like this. When we married, 15 years ago, everyone commented on his snappy dress sense. “Oh, he always looks so nice,” friends commented. I was proud of him....

          He's probably seeing some young bloke behind her back!
