Moments like the one a New York Times reporter had with actress-turned-designer Milla Jovovich at her vintage-inspired Jovovich-Hawk show, created with Carmen Hawk: "At her presentation Ms. Jovovich wore a herringbone jumper with white piping over a ribbed T-shirt, a great look that deserved a compliment, which elicited this response: 'What's herringbone?'"

Does Milla get a break for being a non-native English speaker? No? I've run across a couple of people lately who don't know the term 'herringbone' (and also, 'houndstooth')-I think its not in common parlance anymore.
