Mugler é o meu favorito, desde sempre. Tenho tanta pena que não tenha desenhado mobília. Os seguintes sim, desenharam e bem, é sempre prudente ter uma segunda linha, é uma espécie de segundo emprego dos estilistas, nunca se sabe as voltas que dará a vida.

EDINBURGH CALLING

Karl Lagerfeld photographed the new Chanel campaign starring Tilda Swinton. Happened in Scotland, with much highlands spirit, and such attitude, as well as the result is much revealing of what people wants, deco concerning. To me it smells a little, a lot, like Vivienne Westwood, but made with resources.

Never liked working by the calendar - May brides, red and green for Christmas, kitchens in September - but my wife has been roaring my ears with your-blog-is-very-dry-and-austere-start-putting-girly-and-springy-things. Okay, okay, Spring it is, but my Spring, cause I'm already eager cold and misty November. If there is an interested Nordic media publisher out there, please say something, I'll be there tomorrow.
