--IT'S ALL WHITE (AND BLACK)--

It kills me a little inside to post such unrelated photos, but heigh ho, joy in diversity etc etc. And I've chosen a purely monochromatic selection in an attempt to link everything, kind of, not really...

Anyway, onto happier things. You may have noticed a remarkable lack of S/S '11 reportage going on-that would be because I'm very behind on all the shows as the style.com slideshows go really slowly on my computer so it takes me ages to get through even two shows a day. With that in mind, any recommendations of ones I really can't miss? (I'll catch up eventually, of course, but there's no point in delaying the best till the end).

I watched a short summary video of the Chanel show just now-how amazing is the set? They painted most of the Grand Palais green, for God's sake! And to be part of the orchestra...I mean, wow. That must have been the most amazing thing ever. Can you imagine? You're some underpaid third violinist, or whatever, and suddenly you get a call going, "Oh, by the way, we've got a booking to play CHANEL next week." You know, standard, just play a bit of classical fare while models stomp around wearing amazingly gorgeous clothes and all of fashion's biggest players (har har, get the pun there?) share breathing space with you...Crazy eh?
