From THE FASHIONISTA MURDERS--Kate gets Fashion Lesson Number One

“The trick is to treat fashion seriously,” the photographer  said, “even though you’re laughing your ass off as you write. And pay attention to what Coco Chanel believed.”
   
Kate looked at him.
   
“Coco believed ‘simplicity is elegance’—and they’ve become the two most important words in real fashion. Everything she created was simple and elegant. The Chanel Suit. The perfume. The incredible accessories.” Cam paused. “Did you know she created the Little Black Dress?”
   
The Little Black Dress?  Amazing—how this strange new guy in Kate’s life was so quick to expose her one fashion secret.  “I have a whole closet full of LBDs,” she was forced to admit. “And please, Cam, don’t make me confess how many times they’ve saved my insecure butt.”
   
He looked at her in a strange way before saying, “Did you know Coco had many lovers but was in love with only one man?”
   
“So?”   
   
“Just thought you might be interested.” 
   
“Are you trying to say something about yourself, Mr. Crater?”
   
“That’s entirely up to you, Miss Conway.”  He said it with a degree of smug satisfaction just as the stewardess appeared with their trays.
