Camilla Morton is an author, journalist and fashion-industry aficionado, whose commentaries on style (from her vantage as both a spectator and an inside participant) have gained her worldwide acclaim. Her latest project with Laurence King Publishing, an Oracle series inspired by the industry icons – illustrated by Anna Higgie – is providing the answers to all of our sartorial conundrums as we enter the final leg of Fashion Month and prepare to embark on the Paris 'marathon'. And so, this week, we've invited Camilla to call upon the higher powers and divine for us our daily fashion fortunes (and reveal precisely why she's picked them)...

"The final in my trinity of Christians, Christian Louboutin gave every woman a red carpet sole of their own.

I first met Christian when we crawled across a courtyard looking for Bella Freud’s lost contact lens. Since then, he has gone on to heel Parisian runways such as Jean Paul Gaultier, alongside several supermodels – including Kate, who has a shoe named after her.

He is probably the Patron Saint of Pigalle... Which, incidentally, is also his best-selling shoe!"
