Skinny models!

After a very long season, which began in mid June and only ended last weekend, even though to be honest, I still have 2 more clients to see - one in Milan and one in London, my dear colleague will do the appointments for me - thanks JB :-)

Show after show, both mens and women, the models are really, really skinny. When I spoke to a colleague in Milan about the shows, her comment was that there body was the same size as my 13 year old daughter! For me, the comment of the year - Suzy Menkes (fashion editor at the International Herald Tribune), commenting on the Prada show where several models struggled to walk the walk, maybe due to the heels or maybe their lack of nutrition! "................ the unfortunate model, whose figure, folding up like a pipe cleaner as she hit the concrete floor, made even the most seasoned fashionista squirm."

This brings a smile to my face every time - keep up the good work Ms Menkes - I love it!
