Will Charlie Gilmour Get A New Savile Row Suit For Court?
CHARLIE Gilmour, 21, of Billinghurst, Sussex, son of no-education champion Dave Gilmour, of the Great Gig in The Sky, has been charged with violent disorder at the tuition fees protest in London. Gilmour is the well-trained history student who was upset to learn that he was dangling from something called The Cenotaph, which is something to do with wars and stuff.
In addition, m’lud, Gilmour, a university berth blocker and Saddo (Sons and daughters of…), is accused of stealing a mannequin leg on 9 December. Gilmour the rebel who thinks fees are not just on ok has an eye for the finer things:
“I’ve always loved good-quality clothing. My style is vintage stuff and skinny jeans — leggings-style H&M girls’ jeans that no man should really wear! My parents said that if I got into Cambridge, they would buy me a Savile Row suit. All the other tailors seemed a bit fuddy-duddy, with fox-hunting stuff in the windows. I’m not into that aristocratic thing. Spencer Hart is modern and chic, with nothing fusty about it. They made me two suits — a single-breasted day suit and a slim-cut dinner suit, which is useful, as there are all sorts of feasts and formal occasions at Cambridge. I wear it with an almost Edwardian clipped-collar shirt and a slim, mod-ish dog-tooth-check tie. I haven’t worn the day suit much yet, but if I’m ever having a work crisis, I put it on and it gives me a sharp frame of mind. I never feel better than when I’m wearing my suits, and people take you more seriously. They fit perfectly.”
He is due at City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court on 10 February.
