Fashion week in London, it feels like Spring as the daffodils are out in Hyde Park. I find my usual cozy Linley suite at the Claridge's where I will camp for 2 nights. Everyone seems to be at the Portrait Gallery where Vanity Fair and Burberry are hosting the opening of 'VF Photographs'. A quick dinner at trendy restaurant St Alban, 2 lunches at Cipriani's and off to the London Bridge for Nathan Jenden's show!

Moscow for 24 hours! that is madness, but I promised Natalia Vadianova that I would be there for her Love Ball. It was a 3 day event, but I will only be there for a red dinner at Gum's in front of the Red Square and of course for the ball in the recently restored palace of Tsaritsina. Vodka, violins and hors d'oeuvres in the train that take us to the Palace. More vodka in the gilded hall and dinner in a carved ice palace... dancing, singing and auction... Natalia will raise more than 4 million euros for her Naked Heart Foundation. It will be able to build many playgrounds for children.

Florence for a day... looking for a spot to have a fashion show in June... Palazzo Pitti, the secret garden of Torrigiani... where will it be? Slept at the Lungarno, my room is over the river Arno, a quick lunch at Camillo's and dinner at Harry's bar. Paris: home... it is Premiere Vision's week, the fair where all designers buy their fabrics. My design team is here... we are planning next season... no relief in the fashion world!!!
