So It may seem that this week I have taken to poking fun at my industry, an industry that has kept me fed and watered for many many years. This is not the case ( the poking fun rather than the feeding and watering)
It’s merely that I have seen a […]
It’s Monday and it’s true I’ve had a few days away from the computer, (I would like to pretend I was on a top-secret fashion mission but in fact I was entertaining friends and having birthday treats ) as a result my viewing figures, of which I have been obsessed, […]
I was sincerely spoilt last September when I was privy to not just one, but two fashion shows at New York Fashion week.
