Dear Shaded Viewers,
Robb Young is my dear friend as you have probably noticed and I cannot resist photographing him when ever he is around. I even dared to photograph him at breakfast when it was just too early…
For the past few seasons WHITE created 12 hours which is a space dedicated to one designer for each of the days of the White Fair. The designers have a great exhibition space where they can meet the press and buyers for 12 hours. Todd Lynn had the space today and we enjoyed a little chat about how his business has been growing over these past few years.

Richard Nicoll did his best collection to date and the press and buyers loved it.

Festival d’Hyeres winner Sandra Backlund previews a bit of her Spring. If you have not seen it yet, she has the cover of Surface magazine this month. I enjoyed looking at it at Malpensa today.

Jens Laugesen did his first graphic ethnic collection mixing traditional gypsey looks with Pierre Cardin inspirations and turning it all on end to come up with a totally personal and very strong collection.

Barbara Grispini is the muse of some of London’s most talented young designers. Kristian Aadnevil is among them, Robb and I could not help but imagine Barbara in one of his black bustier dresses.

This beautiful man just appeared and silently took care of me and my luggage and never said a word. Exactly what I need in my life. I’d be thrilled if I never had to carry another heavy bag….
The last two people I saw before heading off to Malpensa were Martine Hadida from l’Eclaireur and Robb Young.
