Salman Rushdie’s Secret
41 Answers
From The Guardian.
“I was about 22 and had been invited to a fashionable party in Chelsea. I was introduced to a well-known designer, who turned and walked away. Ten minutes later, he scurried back and said: “I’m sorry I was so rude to you. You see, they told me you were Jewish.” I still remember his name but let me pretend that I’ve forgotten it.”
Salman Rushdie’s recollection from about 1969.
Any ideas who the well-known designer was?
Tks.

GemmaRose: my apologies for doubting your searching skills, which are obviously superior to mine. And my thanks for your discovery of the latest in a long (too long) line of British racists and anti-semites.
Unfortunately, the bloke is dead, so we can't blacken his name much, or, in my case, refrain from buying his expensive designs (which I don't anyway!)
Thanks again GemmaRose. Look forward to hearing more from your diligent searches.
