Nine Steps down Memory Lane*

"Fashion is in the air and the way we live.

Not measured by the number of breathes we take,

but the moments which take our breathe away."

Iconic moments creating a lifetime of style. 
Like a cat with nine lives, let me capture a life of fashion in nine scenes. 

1. Let us start with the bare essentials

2. What could possibly be better than an Hermès bag? TWO Hermès bags!

3. A Reality: waiting for the train (Perhaps dressed slightly less extravagant and without a stack of LV monogram trunks in tow).

4. In our Dreams: wearing a once-off masterpiece.

5. While a privileged few shall live a Dream as their Reality
