My friend Christian Francis Roth held the show for his new line, Francis, at noon today. All the big department store buyers were there, taking copious notes. I took one or two runway pictures and decided they were coming out terribly, so I opted to just enjoy the show. Sorry, kids! I’ll pick up some photos for you from the wire services and Christian’s photographer.

I’m newly obsessed with tennis and love the dress and necklace! Wowee.
Hi wendy-you’re looking gorgeous, this is one of my favourite Ossies on you, the colour is delicious!! Did you nab the CFR plaid jacket-hope no-one else did, they can have a knuckle swear sandwich if they tried!!
Hi again-just checked out the collection-its really great! I love the one shoulder striped dress and the tube map dress-fabulous!!
Yaay can’t wait to check it out!
those rings are hilariously awesome!
Wow – I have a CFR jacket that I picked up on a trip to New York back in early 1997 – is it vintage yet? Is it worth any money?
Nobody knows about him in Australia – I will have to email you a photo!
