We asked total strangers to pick one outfit for the rest of their lives
LONDON -- Choosing an outfit for the day can be a joyful experience. But looking fleeky on a daily basis is not an easy undertaking. You have to ensure your clothes are freshly laundered and then there's the matter of making sure no one else has seen you wear the outfit before.
But, imagine if you never had to choose; if all this tiresome laundering, accessorising and colour coordinating was a thing of the past; if you had just one truly sensational outfit for your lifetime.
Mashable took to the streets during London Fashion Week to find out which one outfit people would choose to wear for the rest of their lives. (Hint: fashion people *really* love Clueless!)
