Love-Hate Relationship

2. Patrick Demarchelier & Marc Jacobs campaign by Jürgen Teller
3. Patrick Demarchelier & Yves Sain Laurent Fall/Winter 2008

Climate Change

Cerruti Fall/Winter 2010

White tulips in winter. A milk croissant for breakfast. Richard Nicoll's debut for Cerruti perfectly describes my current state of mind. The longing for softness, warmth and spring.
