I'm well and wondering whether I should order a small table from copenhagen now.

Great to hear back from you! We are actually going to Copenhagen in a few weeks, for a few days. We could take pics of it if the store is in the centre of town! Let me know. I could also have reserved for you? If there's anything else we can check out for you we can do that. There are a number of v good furniture stores in CPH. We love it there - its v relaxed place. The prices of the classic danish furniture have gone up a lot though. we managed to get some v nice Wegner pieces years ago before he died and the prices went up. let me know. I can send you my personal email if thats easier.

Awww…transformable fashions. You KNOW those clothes can be worn in different was just by playing with the strings. This, my friends, is how you put the “design” in “designer clothing.”

And I can’t say for certain, but re-purposing the strips of fur for the headwear totally brings to mind Katsuyo Kamo. May he rest in peace.

^ that's gotta be his work. Seeing the closeups of these head pieces made me sad... he left such a void in his field, no one even comes close.. or bothers to channel creativity in that direction for that matter. RIP. 🖤

I love revisiting these collections in different stages in life, I find something every single time and just look at it differently but the quality never diminishes.. this is such a perfect summer dress, wish I could find it!.

^The Chanel couture show he did…with the strips of paper? That was more creative than the actual clothes. But I digresss.

And, as always, a big thanks to Maayan for the thread._THIS collection definitely piques my interest
