I’m drowning in flowers and not in a good way. I went to our high street looking for barely there, tan sandals and distracted by clothes, I’m browsing racks and racks of dresses. I’m looking at a red dress printed with small flowers and I feel like I’ve seen it somewhere before. In fact- I […]
As I write it, the rains outside lashes almost horizontally and it’s +10 degrees. It’s a middle of June and when the rest of Europe sweats in a heatwave, here on the Atlantic coast the weather is more extreme. I’m looking forlornly at my dress, hanging on the door. It’s Sava, an A-line dress from […]
I’m so very excited to show you this image from our photoshoot in Paris. Current blog template allows for just one photo (this will change in the future) but I will put a few more on my other site . I wanted to give you a little update where I am at the moment 🙂 […]
“Nicole Diver, her brown back hanging from her pearls, was looking through a recipe book for chicken Maryland. She was about twenty-four, Rosemary guessed- her face could have been described in terms of conventional prettiness, but the effect was that it had been made first on the heroic scale with strong structure and marking, as […]
I look at my 20-something year old with kindness. days spent in a rigid , pencil skirt suits and heels.

It was a it of a marathon for me, the last 4 weeks. France- England- France- Guadeloupe- France-London. I think I know by now every square inch of Paris Montparnasse station and of course both Eurostar terminals. Getting a train between London and Paris feels a bit like getting a metro. I wanted to tell […]
I was watching “Three colours, blue”by Krzyszof Kieslowski (I’ve been learning French since I moved countries for the love of my life) when I saw a scene which stopped my in my tracks, metaphorically speaking. Juliette Binoche sits in a cafe, pouring hot espresso over vanilla ice cream. She wears very little make up and […]
When I received an invitation to a a yearly charity ball, I knew exactly that I was going to wear one of my samples. Long or short selves, with voluminous skirt, accompanied by simple sandals but The Row. Maybe a sash to make it more party like. Hair up. My best friend wasn’t convinced. For […]
I’m going to tell you what really, really makes me angry in fashion. Apologies in advance if I sound like an angry lady- that’s because I am. I’ve been reading Business of Fashion recently and one article really stuck with me- one of the super cheap, super fast fashion labels announced a huge increase in […]
