Sensible chic. Those two simple words appear to be the omnipotent mantra of WaPo’s fashion critic Robin Givhan. In her headshot (mugshot?), we see that she sometimes likes to wear collared green shirts. Subconsciously, of course, she’s reminding us of collard greens, trying to get us to notice that she’s black. A tricky trickster, is she. However, in Givhan’s outward Camelot, there is no race, of course, unless one counts the New York Marathon, since the fashion queen of DC tends to live in Gotham City. Meanwhile, her dark red lipstick masks her secrets (she hates wearing clothes, no doubt), and her sly smile tells us she knows all too well what perfect skirts, skorts and shorts will be in for fall. We can almost catch her winking behind her circular, writhing rims, whispering to us that she can fit in anywhere, she can fit in anything. She is Robin Givhan. She is sensible and chic.

Now, where the F is our Pulitzer?!
