2008


I know it’s early to be bidding you farewell but this is me out for 2008. I have an insane week of Christmas parties to attend before I fly back to Australia for two and a half weeks to see my family, friends and the sun.

I have been reflecting a lot about 2008 lately and I cannot comprehend what a significant year it’s been for me. I have met and reconnected with some of the most incredible people who have shaped me and my life in ways I never thought possible. Few of them will ever read this but to those who do, thank you. You know who you are and what you’ve done.

In other respects, this has been the hardest year of my life. I’ve had to make difficult decisions but in the process I’ve found courage and confidence I didn’t know I had.

I’ve also discovered that I like brussels sprouts (and that they’re not called brussel sprouts! who knew?), have welcomed Miu Miu into my life, have visited Granada, Oslo and Bergen, Salzburg, Cinque Terre, New York, Paris, Puglia and the Loire Valley, not to mention fallen in love with my new home town. I’ve seen the world welcome change and right wrongs from the past.

I hope you all have a safe and happy holiday season. Thank you for reading and I’ll see you in 2009!

Michelle Obama



A veritable who’s who of fashion has taken part in an interesting project. Asked to sketch what they think Michelle Obama should wear for inauguration night, designers like Isaac Mizrahi, Carolina Herrera, Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Rodarte (all seen above) and a whole lot more have taken part. See them all here.

For a brief time only

This is seriously cool.

For a Brief Time Only… is a purchasable exhibition of 24 artists available at a photo developer near you. You can find it at any store that allows file uploading via the internet (including most major US drug-stores). The image files will be sent to the closest location near you, and within minutes you will be able to walk in and pick them up as prints. Check out the website: http://www.asdfmakes.com/nearyou/
