It’s not often that we get to enjoy the pure magic of having a V&A exhibition here in Barcelona. And not just any exhibition… Opening to the eager masses this past October 5th and continuing until January 15th, Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes – When Art Dances with Music spans the 20-year history of Serge Diaghilev’s eponymous dance company.

Sometimes You Need to Relax
Some much needed rest and relaxation was in order after this strange summer, so I decided to search for a lovely rural house to spend a few days. We needed to find somewhere relatively close, as we don’t have a car and weren’t in the mood to rent one. After sifting through loads of webs that were heavy on the rural and low on relaxation, we decided on Can Caponet.
Writing in the Summer
This has been one of the strangest summers in a long time. I’ve actually been caught up with quite a lot of work and then decided to take a few weeks off in September. The month is now drawing to its close and it will be time to once again jump on the work wagon and start getting things done. I managed to get away for a few days to a lovely rural hotel, I’ll be sharing a post soon with lots of photos. And the last “summer” getaway is this weekend, to the Festa de Grafisme in Portbou, which I’m really looking forward to. For the moment, I want to share my two most recent fashion columns in Barcelona Metropolitan.
Last but not Least – CMFW
Another edition of Cibeles Madrid Fashion Week comes to a close and it is with a sinking heart that I realize that not one single collection has made my hair stand on end or left me breathless. A few pieces stood out and really shone with creativity, but on the whole, there was a lack of heart, of verve, of magic and showmanship. Where is Spanish fashion headed? Is the crisis really hitting so hard as to create this lack of courage and spirit in the designers? I long for the days past when true tailoring and talent blinded us on the Spanish catwalks. I remember looking forward to seeing the proposals from the emerging fashion designers during El Ego. Now it just makes me cringe. Of course, what can be expected when Burger King is the official sponsor…
