    A big fat Congrats to you lovely!

    Wow, i’ve been catching up this evening…. i don’t know where to begin. Ok, Tom Ford is a God, literally I die over the collection and the seriously stunning collection and those images!!! I love it all and want it all, and want it all too.
    Next, the Children in Fashion industry post is seriously amazing, great read and shocking photos!!! Yikes i had no idea that Brooke Shields did all that and her mum let her? Did the word paedophile come to mind at all? It’s just barking mad right? Those Cadeaux images are kinda disturbingly wrong too and slightly freaky. I also don’t agree with children who work in factories too and as much as big fashion chains/organisations say they’re ethical, they don’t know that something isn’t going on behind closed doors or once they’ve left a factory where they’re beautiful frocks/shoes/clothes are being made for the supplier.

    Anyhoos, you sound like you’re all GO in 2011! Love it!
    I’m slowly getting back into blogosphere…
