The Temptations Of TK Maxx
Dig if you will, as Prince once said, the picture. You are shopping in Lewisham, in one of its many knock-down, cut-price shopping palaces. To be specific, you are in the Temple Of TK Maxx. You have in your hands a piece of Alexander McQueen. Proper actual McQueen. Not McQueen for Topshop. Not McQueen stitched by destitute Chinese orphans and sold by ruthless agents of deception on Ebay. The genuine article, in your increasingly damp grip. And that is not all. There is more jammed onto the rails in front of you. And it is reduced by 80 whole per cent. 80!

On a follow-up visit to the mighty Maxx today, I discovered the best non-selling McQueen yet - a floor-length tan sheepskin coat that was half Motson, half Agnetha. Two of my favourite fashionistas brought together at last.
