Simon Doonan (born 1952〔(Meet the Most Fashionable Woman in the World: The Queen of England. The Queen's Jubilee: Why she's the most fashionable woman in the world. ), Simon Doonan, Slate, 15 March 2012, accessed 16 March 2012〕) is the Creative Ambassador-at-Large of the New York City-based clothing store Barneys. ==Biography== Doonan comes from the English town of Reading. His first retail job was a summer position at Heelas, a department store in Reading, now owned by the John Lewis Partnership. After returning to work at the same store after university, he first got involved in the art of window dressing. He later left Reading for London and dressed windows at Aquascutum before moving to Nutters of Savile Row. Invited to dress his windows by the proprietor of Maxfield, a department store in Los Angeles, Doonan moved to the United States in 1978. He joined the Barneys staff in 1986 as a window dresser.〔〔Colin Bertram, ''New York Daily News,'' 31 March 2008 (New York Daily News )〕 In addition to his work at Barneys, he writes a column on style for ''Slate''. Previously, he wrote a similar column for ''The New York Observer''. In his book, ''Eccentric Glamour'', he decried porno chic in Western society in general. Interviewed for an article for the ''New York Daily News,'' he said, "There are two horribly worrying trends! Celebrities are becoming so gun-shy that there is no diversity, no sense of fun on the red carpet. There's no experimentation – which is incredibly important to fashion." On "porno chic," (the second trend) he said, "Imagine if you said to people 20 years ago that, in 2008, a significant number of women would be going around dressing like porno stars with fake hooters and butt cracks showing? No one would have believed you."〔 In September 2008, he married his partner of 14 years, designer Jonathan Adler, in California.〔(Simon Doonan and Jonathan Adler )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simon Doonan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
