High-flying businesswoman in catwalk outfit shocker

When height of fashion turns to nightmare of humiliation
by Kieren McCarthy

High-flying businesswoman Jennifer Princely faces a disciplinary hearing at leading City firm Morgan Stanley after she ill-advisedly put on a dress she had bought at a catwalk show and wore it to the office.

Ms Princely (single, five failed relationships) bought the stunning ensemble after seeing supermodel Gisele Bündchen carry it at a designer show during London fashion week.

She told friends she was waiting for the right occasion to wear the designer creation — valued at £16,000 — and considered her annual performance appraisal would be that occasion.

Ms Princely's enthusiasm for her designer suit was not matched by that of her bosses

Unfortunately, her boss didn't take the same view when Ms Princely swept regally into the room wearing nothing but see-through cerise tanga briefs and a two-inch wide strip of pin-stripe jacket material which skilfully failed to conceal her nipples.

Far from creating an impression of professionalism and cutting-edge fashion nous, Ms Princely's attire caused an abrupt end to the meeting with the promise of immediate disciplinary action.

A tearful Ms Princely told The Rockall Times: "I was devastated. I spent hours getting ready, one of which was spent carefully hiding the duct tape that held the sash in place. I couldn't believe it when Mr Andrews told me to 'stow those mammaries forthwith Princely'."

While conceding that the rigours of international business had taken its toll on her once toned body, Ms Princely considers that she has lost none of her youthful ability to turn heads. That was certainly the case on Friday with one office clerk remarking to us: "Christ! Her nipples were like chapel coat pegs. But before we all worked out what was going on, Dave from security had covered her lads up with his hat and whisked her out of the building."

We tracked down the designer of the outfit, one Davide du Ponce Riche, who was unrepentant over Ms Princely's predicament. "Ms Princely has clearly misunderstand the nature of international fashion," sighed Du Ponce. "Only a fool would have worn my creation outside among the hoi-polloi. It is a sad fact that only those with the most refined and austere taste can see the true nature of my work. The rest of the world will just see a woman with her tits hanging out."
