Sunday from my desk

This season, just now, with the Spring/Summer collections,

is the 45th anniversary of attending my first fashion show.

It is a personal celebration with many great memories

and historic moments as fashion shifted from Rome

to Florence to Milano with Paris always there for every season.

And my point of reference being London where I was spending

as much time as possible and where all was happening.

To have been so close to all these changes in the field,

and to meet the creative people behind them

is a privilege I cherish and I feel that it is not even me that has lived it!

I am always ready for the new, as though I had just started.
