Success

'My dear, that is simply sensational!'

Rooms fall silent as you enter, then the hush gives way to a growing, excited murmuring. [...] To top it all off, you hear with a frisson of pleasure that the Duchess herself has made enquiries about you.

Rare Success

'...'

You dare where none before have dared. You emphasise indelicately. You enhance outrageously. You show a little ankle. [...] It doesn't particularly catch on as a fashion. But mercy, are they talking about you.


Failure

London was simply not ready for you.

Your designs are outrageous! Not outrageously successful, just outrageous. Those hands over mouths conceal giggles, not gasps of admiration. [...] It may be time to let go of those avant-garde ideas about sleeves, beloved though they may be to you.
