NYLON - January 2009 - (Page 64) 1 adventures in babysitting Mary Poppins is no ordinary nanny. Blown in by the East Wind to 17 Cherry Tree Lane, London—magical umbrella and a bag of tricks in tow—to care for the Banks children (Jane, Michael, John, and Barbara), Poppins wastes no time in teaching them valuable lessons while opening up their eyes with her delightful sorcery. Fantastical adventures ensue, set to some of the most memorable songs in movie history. The clan embarks on a tour of different countries, courtesy of Poppins’s special compass, and has a gravitydefying tea party, while floating in mid-air. And Poppins’s style is nothing short of enchanted, too. Her look is ladylike perfection, made up of fitted, waist-accentuating coats, full skirts, stylish booties, and an ever-present carpet bag. In a word, her fashion taste is supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. 2 5 3 6 4 9 7 still lifes: chika kobari. photo courtesy of the everett collection. 8 1. COAT BY GENTLE FAWN, $220; 2.
