Designer Fantasy

When you meet a designer for the first time, you are aware you've entered a new realm. The fantasy that exists between their ears surfaces at any time. It is like a never ending stream. You wonder what is formulating in this dream. If you were to pick a designer to meet who would it be? I would say hands down it would be Karl Lagerfeld. I would perhaps prepare my outfit for months on end. Then wear something completely different that day. I doubt he would insult me, rather I believe we would get along. He appreciates beauty and so do I.

The other top contender's would have to be Elie Saab, (which isn't too far fetched, I am Lebanese and so is he, I know i could convince him we're related). Lanvin, Giambattista Valli, Oscar De La Renta, Yves Saint Laurent, Balenciaga,  Alexander McQueen (we share a birthday), Ms Coco Chanel herself and Mary Katrantzou. Questions I would ask would be rather ordinary, I perhaps may go down the path of offering them my soul but I doubt they would accept. Lanvin might, he likes a good soul ;)

I kind of wish we didn't know these designer's so well, Social Media and the explosion of Fashion Fervour has watered down the fantasy, ok maybe just a little. But it still counts. So, when you're in the company of a designer you usually only have a moment to make an impact. If you don't have anything interesting to say it is normally a 'next' situation. Which is fair, you have to compete with the wonders in their head. So I would say something rather strange, you remind me of a tree in outback Australia, it was perched up high, alone, beautiful, had to fend for itself and continued rising despite the harsh conditions it faced, especially those cactuses that don't eat much. Prickly b*tches. Good enough? I hope so. I'll let you know if I ever get to put it to the test :)
