A MUST BUY FOR ANY FASHIONISTA ..

''Crow must be obsessed. They are everywhere. Paper patterns. Practice toiles in cheap cotton. Violent nylon examples and now delicate silk versions that look like melted works of art. They’re hanging from the curtain rail. Hanging from the handles of the filing cabinet. Draped on the bed. Folded on and under the tiny desk, where the only object I can recognise between the piles is an old, black, hand-operated Singer sewing machine.

‘How long have you been making these?’ I ask.

‘Two years’, Crow says. ‘Before, I just knitted. It was so cold when I came to London. But then I went to the V&A. I saw Balenciaga. Vionnet. Now I practise.’''

DIANA Remembered..

I visited Althrop near Northampton last week and saw the beautiful and moving exhibition  : Diana: A Celebration. Reflect on the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales.

Her tender and loving life flashes before your eyes as you watch her days in school, her memoirs, a collection of her jewels, her wedding dress, her passport and many more items on display. You remember her warmth and her generosity that she shared with the world through her peacekeeping missions and charities . Her love for her children and the children of the world. Take a walk around the Lake where she used to enjoy spending time as a girl with its serene and delicate nature .

A must visit .
