Paisley is the new black
Paisley fabric has a noble tradition in romance – from Napoleon’s gifts of paisley shawls for Empress Josephine to its à la mode status in the ‘Summer of Love’. Since Brooks Newmark's pyjama-gate it has become an essential tool in the middle-aged sexter’s toolbox. It appears Newmark is not alone in his love for patterned paisley nightwear; following the Mirror’s revelations, M&S rapidly sold out of ‘Pure Cotton Paisley Patterned Pajamas’. Can it be a coincidence? If not, it certainly raises some questions about the British psyche. Has Newmark become a fashion icon for 50-something lechers?
