MILANO + LILY

I'm sitting here downloading photographs from Milano, just poached an egg with tomato and drinking coffee listening to PARIS RADIO. It's the most perfect calm snowy morning in NYC, just enjoying the calm before I start knitting the dreams for the world and all I can think is 'cardigan', 'pull over', 'saddle sleeve', 'raglan', 'exposed seams' ... So I came across this Lily Donaldson editorial and it dawned on me that I had dinner next to her at Pheasant a few weeks ago, thats the thing with NY - the models are everywhere, you lose track, they blend in, they start to look like gangly aliens, wanna be's, but then you realized they are the real thing. And may I add that they are everywhere right now, walking down Grand yesterday I must have passed 5 of them, all the same, alone, head phones, layers, flat combat style boots... it's really amusing to watch... it's here, they've arrived. Ah NY....
