Autumn Dressing

Autumn is my favourite season.  Often brilliant sunshine against cloudless blue skies and falling leaves in all their colourful glory.  Dressing for the weather couldn't be better,  be enveloped in sumptuous layers of silk, cashmere and wool and welcome the North wind!

Tailored wool coat with deep pockets and a swish hem
 worn with scarf, merino wool / silk
and elbow length fingerless gloves, lambswool / angora.

Phil Fisk


     I love this shot! Its a Pauline Burrows suit and was taken by Phil Fisk in his London studio.
I was thinking 'Twin Peaks'. 
Phil, being a master of lighting, has set the scene and mood and pulled it off perfectly.

Steel grey suit in wool linen blend.
Ready to wear or bespoke.

Private View - David Roux-Fouillet 

A fabulous and unexpected treat. This was my first visit to the Andipa Gallery on Walton St, Knightsbridge. An intimate and friendly space, the gallery is home to a varied mix of artists from Picasso to Damien Hurst.
