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 wearing the “swear rings” I designed for the show.
Oddly, I was wearing that Ossie Clark dress just about one year ago.

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!
