Spring?

So this is the time of year when we get to look at NEXT spring's offerings clothingwise.....which is why I hopped on the Eurostar, or rather dragged my carcass onto it - it was the morning after Ponystep - and curled up in my seat nodding between sleep and consciousness all the way to Paris to see A.P.C......

And this is what I saw...

I always enjoy appointments with Iris, she knows the collection back to front and is fun to hang out with too, so time passes really quickly.....and she notices when I'm flagging and brings on the super-strong coffee!!! We met for a quick vin blanc before my train and I caught up on what she's been up to outside of A.P.C. She's a super-talented illustrator, check out her website here. Last time we were in Paris she was very excited because she had directed her first pop video and the band suddenly became really popular and had a big hit in France, so her video was all over town! This is it, for BB Brunes....

I missed Hughes this time, was hoping to pop into the shop to see him and then the time just flew, but I got to see Olivier (in glasses in the film) and Iris told me he makes music too but is very shy.....will he kill me hyperlinking you to his myspace here I wonder? I hope not!

Lovely creative people, lovely clothes, sushi, good coffee, vin blanc.....and a secret doorway to who knows where?
