Sir, – The photograph of Paul Mescal on the front of The Irish Times (Vittorio Zunino Celotto, “Shorts show – Mecal attends Milan Fashion Week”, June 18th) reminded me of an equally dreadful fashion decision made by Hugh Grant in Four Weddings and a Funeral over 20 years ago.
I’ve seen lads dressed like this on a Sunday morning out buying milk when convenience is the first consideration in dressing quickly.
But, the “look”?
Seriously? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – Paul Mescal’s “look”, we are informed, is associated with “a willingness to take risks”. At the risk of offending his many fans, this is maybe a case of the emperor’s new clothes? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – “My” Irish Times is definitely losing this dressing room when it considers that a ridiculously half-dressed young man is centre of the front page material because of his “take risks look”. – Yours, etc,
