We went to NY to show our new winter 2010 collection to the buyers. I didn't take a camera, but Fader put it on their website and so it seems fair that we should have a little preview here too. There's an interview with me as well, sandwiched between 2 others - they love our colours!!!!!!

Enough of stones, here's one of my favourite songs......

Where ever there is flint you always find these funny faces on stones - or maybe these chaps just got too close to the nuclear power station at Sizewell beach. Sometimes you need a good imagination.

I've had a bit of blogger's block, or maybe I've just been taking it easy.

So far 2010 has been very foody, and as a follow on from my fishy experiences in Japan I've tackled a couple of fish fresh out of the sea at Suffolk. Mr Sea Bass was delicious with lemon salt and oil and Mr Lobster slipped into the boiling water without so much of a squeak. I did feel a bit mean, but he was very tasty and the cat had fish head and lobster for sups for 3 days.

Also I'm trying some sourdough - inspired by Momoko. So far doesn't look too appealing!!!!!

Janey has been the legs of Ally Capellino for coming up to 10 years - Think she was 15 when we shot the first postcard. Now she's a sculptress of refinement and great subtlety. Here is her website. Hope she gives us another 10 years before she gets into support hose.

Burn magazine has some fantastic "photo essays", I've chosen one with a good song and a fairly upbeat air, but beware lots are on the bleaker side. This one very much so.

If you've been to our shop on Calvert Avenue then no doubt you've already been to Leila's shop. Now there are 2 of them, cafe and shop.

Her display skills are on top form at the moment - the windows look lovely.

Here are some lovely rooftops and buildings from the last couple of months.

the view to the east of the Marais in October.

Tokyo - behind Shibuya.

Water tank in Shibuya  and Downtown Auckland - I think the blue car is making that building look good.

Nice scrap yard in Auckland.

Finally - beautiful Hong Kong. There are roof gardens on the tops of the buildings down there.

On a lighter note....   I have noticed a national obsession here....    traffic cones, they pop up everywhere and become little characters once you start to notice them. They come in all sizes and colours. Hopefully I get the pictures on here before my flight is called or I run out of battery.
