The only thing worse than fashion writing...

...is letters to the editor about fashion writing:

Re "Woman Masked, Bagged and, Naturally, Feared" (Fashion Diary, March 1): The fashion world's growing trend of erasing the faces of its female models does seem disturbing, a misogynistic elision in an industry already adept at objectification.

Have designers become so esoteric that they see no other implications in their "obscuring garments" except a subservience to creative vision?
