my room with a view in Zurich

Dear Shaded Viewers,

I am in Zurich for the Swiss Textiles Awards, 100,000 EUROS that will go to one of the six designers:

Rodarte, Jean-Pierre Braganza, Richard Nicoll, Cathy Pill, Louise Goldin or Toga.

Last night the designers and the jury met for a dinner.

This was my favorite, the mc did not realize that Patricia and Ronald were coming on stage for the run through and was caught off guard as there were two fake Patricia and Ronald's on stage.

Then the jury went back stage to talk with the designers.

I had great fun with RODARTE talking about how they got started and how innocence has played into their success.
