Dear Shaded Viewers,

Despite torrential rain and cold weather, the Petits Riens show took place in Brussels last night, celebrating the skills of volunteers for a good cause. Fashion and design were both involved, using upcycled materials to produce unique creations. Les Petits Riens helps the homeless with housing, work and training solutions, giving fragilized individuals their strength and dignity back. The show is a brilliant initiative and the energy was great. We went backstage and were surprised to see how chilled everyone was.

I was eager to see Romain Brau's pieces and was not disappointed. I loved his stunning fur coat, which was auctioned after the show.
