The Master....Bill Cunningham, Paris

I was sitting next to Mr. Cunningham during the Viktor & Rolf show this past October.

It was so charming to see how excited he still gets at a great show. I'm sure it's his natural enthusiasm and not the typical "seen it all before" blase ,so common in fashion, that's kept him going all these years.

Everytime I think I've accomplished a little something with this blog, I think of him and realize I have another 35 years before I can even start feeling that way.

On the Street....Javier of Just One, Madrid

So I found a really great shop in Madrid yesterday called Just One.

Cesare Attolini, Tom Ford, Edward Green, the shop is full of classic labels but bought and displayed in a very cool way. I'm still learning about the shop but it will definitely be a very good reason for me to make Madrid a more common stop on my trips to Europe.
