Wednesday 5th September 2007.
My Spring 08 collection entitled "Désordre Anglais" ( a phrase used by the French to describe the haphazard eccentric English chic) was debuted with a runway show at sunset in the atmospheric roof Cabanas at the Maritime Hotel, New York. We than had a small afterparty there and the sensational Queens of Noize from England spun.
