Runway Diaries

Whether we like it or not – and let’s face it who doesn’t love fashion! paying attention to how we look and the impact of what we wear is core & an eternal part of being humans. Fashion has become a force literally redefining our understanding of the world around us through designers like Tom Ford and Coco Chanel’s emotionally provocative creations. The quest for beauty and the passion we have for adorning ourselves in the dazzling outfits – is as natural to us as breathing. 


Another word associated with “fashion” is “make” – and that’s what we use fashion to do, make ourselves into our own fabulous creation. As a fashionista, I’ve long been fascinated by this process and in my quest to understand what makes how we look so important to humans, I’ve interviewed dozens of designers on the sources of their inspiration, on their creative processes, and on what they hope their creations will accomplish for those lucky enough to snag a piece or two from their latest runway shows around the globe.


So come join me as I guide you on an exclusive expedition through the runway shows of Paris to the mental landscapes of these emerging and established designers, and take a look at timeless fashion classics that deserve a place in your wardrobe for tonight. 


It’s my hope that this book will in turn inspire you to check out edgy new lines and perhaps inspire a fashion fling or two of your own. 


Fashion is Passion!
