I like sheer style but nothing fashion. For years, I've looked for a stylish element that would become my signature. I don't like jewelry, I hate to shop. A couple of years ago, someone offered me a pashmina, a big shawl made of wool and cashmere. That was it! Since then, I lose all reasoning whenever I'm in presence of many. Now I can't go out of the house without it. It is the first thing in the morning: throwing one of my pashminas around me, even before the first sip of coffee. There are lots of imitators, but the real thing, 70% wool, 30% silk, in various weights of fabric, in a multitude of colours and embroidery is, simply, the only thing I really need for the rest of my life.
