My Favorite things:
Peacocks on shoulders and pink fox fur mittens,
Chiffon in plisse and velvet bow clip ons,
Snake-skin and satin, all hues are sublime,
These are my picks from the Gucci Fall line.
Cerise and chocolate with nipped in small waisties,
Wide legs in lilac, red ruffles so dainty,
Deep V’s that slash […]
In a world where the majority of people and industry have been drained by economic crisis, the luxury sector has impressively managed to keep its footing and sustained its relevance.
However, rather than celebrating and glorifying their brand names in bigger and bolder print there has been a deliberate step back […]
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)

Trying to shake off its reputation of cheap mass-produced imports, China’s manufacturing arm is removing the shackles from the past to re invent itself with a focus on new design talent, and a quality angle that will, or at least should, have some heads turning. And rightly so.
I’ve worked with […]
I wouldn’t say my obsession with bags has been life long but certainly over the past 10 years my love and affection has grown significantly.
