Mescalero Print
In my personal collection of Westwood clothing I found an old piece from the AW’83 show ‘The Nostalgia of Mud’ that I wore quite a bit at the time. It is a multi coloured woollen vest with matching leggings.

Adam Ant Interview
Happy New Year!. I took a brisk walk up to the World’s End shop Monday afternoon to have my meeting with Adam.

It had just been raining so I was a bit worried about the background wet hiss from the traffic but as it goes I can hear him quite clearly on the playback.
So….16 minutes long, let it roll

Ooh La La !
Modelling for us outside in the Kings Rd, shop manager Lise’s friend Kylie, who is visiting the UK from South Africa for Christmas, incited a passer-by to remark ‘Ooh La La’ to her in obvious approval. A fitting title for this post I thought. Continue reading
