Supersize totes may be all the rage, but should they come with a health warning? CLAIRE COLEMAN is sure we will all be suffering for style this season.
The concept of suffering for beauty is nothing new, but this season it looks like we're all going to be suffering for fashion. And we're not just talking about the perils that being perennially stylish can pose to your bank balance, but about the damage that your passion for fashion could be doing to your health.
