BARDO ST JAMES- MAYFAIR
Besides dessert, Italian cuisine is my Achilles heel. I love it for its simplicity and its synergy with other elements that make a good meal; olive oil, cheese, wine… what I find incredible about Italian food is that there is no pretence; where French is all fine dining and techniques of the cuisine and is…

WINDOWS – LIBERTY
This was giving I knocked together scraps from the floor of the tailor’s shop to make something in hopes that it turns out fine. It did not. I am not sure what it is, but these windows are not giving festive. The colours are flat, the range is poor and there is no coherent story…

WINDOWS- SELFRIDGES
This was a window, like last years’, had to settle with me before I fully appreciated the scope of the story it is telling. It is one we can relate to because it deals with Christmas day and the aftermath; who is going to do the washing up? The brusselsprout or not argument, a fridge…
