The survival of fashion's fittest
Posted Dec 9, 2008
The cyclamen tried to make it in our office - we gave them all the introductions they needed (UNHEARD of giving our contacts to UNKNOWNS!) - prime real estate on our Milanese desks, plus we shaded their eyes with designer blinds, and ensured they were fed & watered more than us, but sadly they weren't cut out for our daily routine.
I must admit at this time of the year - I too feel like crawling on a window ledge and going to sleep forever - but despite it being ONLY TWO WEEKS to my Christmas holidays (wwwwaaauuuuhhhh) the world's press are as we speak being flown in for this evening's very secret launch.
We've obviously yet to tell the boss/es about the cyclamen's death - if their arrival caused power struggles (read what happened at www.swide.com/Behind-The-Seams/Flower-power), I dread to think what might happen regarding their death. Anyway - their premature absence has for once given us a credible excuse as to why the entire office is dressed in black.
Yes, so the big launch is tonight - can't say anything else at the moment, and not entirely sure I'll be able to tomorrow either - not as you may be thinking because of my tendency to over-indulge in the bubbly stuff, no, it's rumoured we'll be signing confidentiality agreements on entry - my friends, the true hallmark of an A-list party.
The dress code by the way is black.

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and today I have a special treat for you. I have asked 7 of my illustrator friends a few questions related to this special occasion and, to make this article special, 2 of them have each prepared an original Dolce & Gabbana art work as a Valentine’s gift to the Swide readers.
Andrea Preti invites us to one of his Dolce&Gabbana shoots and gives us a sneak peek into his pre-shoot routine and also shares some of his body secrets. But when you're in demand like Andrea is, a 5 minute chat is never easy...
I honestly fail to see sense in Valentine's day if you're a day over 13-years-old. Single people use it as an excuse to complain about being single (all men are jerks and all girls are crazy and whatnot), and couples ignore it or use it as an excuse to invite single friends over for dinner and boast about their love.
