I am still in love with couture because it is just two months from drawing pad to runway so everything on the catwalk is hot from the oven.

Haute Couture should be fun, foolish and almost unwearable.

I translated Beatles songs for my English class.

The idea of seeing everybody clad the same is not really my cup of tea

Although care must be taken not to kill or injure anyone while these persons are being taken into custody, resistance must be broken!

It's not easy to find a topic. Talking of home is painful. Talking of the present unbearable.
