I have always hoped that people would wear my clothes whenever they felt like it rather only for special occasions, Karl Lagerfeld turned the Grand Palais into a hypermarket for the Chanel show for Autumn 2014 in Paris last week.
Meanwhile in the real world, the sun is shining at last and I am looking forward to a busy time forthcoming – having felt in stasis for three months while it rained ……The David Bailey ‘Stardust’ exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery gave me the opportunity to take Georgina to London and we had a great day of giggles, photography, tweeting and watching hair-netted models sashaying along with their takeaway coffee outside Somerset House on the final day of London Fashion Week.
I am seriously attending to new work for a Fashion Show in Bath in May – and an exhibition in April called ‘Footsteps’ in the Corinium Museum in Cirencester as part of the Select Festival 2014 by Stroud International Textiles.
The museum is a treasure trove – containing one of the finest and most extensive Romano-British collections in the country. The collection relates to both the town of Cirencester, Corinium was the second largest town in Roman Britain, and its hinterland. Beautifully displayed and fascinating collections of mosaics, artefacts , knives , spoons , bits of belts etc – here it is on my doorstep, reminding me of visiting Ephesus last year Ephesus in the early morning and the mosaics and painted walls in the terraced houses. To work.
