New York Fashion Week – London Fashion Week – Milan Fashion Week – Paris Fashion Week

New York is somewhere over there!

Fashion Week Then and Now.

Many years ago we were in Venice quietly wandering down the strange decaying and beautiful alleyways – a sound erupted from behind a wall. It was the sound of children escaping from school – Charles froze. It is that kind of feeling that we should be having about the headlines relating to ‘Fashion Week’. Charles had left teaching some time previously, but still he blanched at the sound and felt pangs of guilt thinking that he should be looking after that hidden crowd of small people.

Words of appreciation on an autumn evening in Wales

The world has shrunk into the palm of my hand.

Recently I was marvelling at modern technology and sent an e-mail to a friend who was away from home at a conference in Atlanta, I said: “the world has shrunk into the palm of my hand”. Her response was “I accessed my e-mails on my Iphone which fits in the palm of my hand”. And that is what is so amazing. I do not have an Iphone, but the way that this little box that is my computer will introduce me to all sorts of people and knowledge from around the world still fills me with awe.
