NEW POWER WER COUPLES
SAY HELLO TO FASHION’S HION’S
T cohuipnleks POWER DRESSING and your mind will probably flood with memories of Britney and Justin in patchwork denim, or Posh and Becks wearing matching leather outfits that landed somewhere between ‘Formula One racers’ and ‘suburban swingers experimenting with fetish wear’.
