As so often lately, when I saw this fashion story photographed by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia I first loved it, but after a while the usual uncomfortable thought started to creep in. It is clear t...
Maybe just because were already a few weeks into the new year and it feels like its time to shake off the dullness that has invaded me for most of 2010, or because sometimes when sad things happen it...

Of course I did more things in Paris than seeing the YSL exhibition, though it was a short trip. The most special and the other main reason was a re-encounter with a childhood friend whom I hadnt see...
I was reading Raquels post about the relatively recent use of the white wedding dress, and it made me think about how readily we associate a color with some form of symbolism, though the same color c...
