Late but...what a story / coup / testament to your creativity!

And on a career note -- I love when what seems like a side- or even back- step end up taking us forward.

Here's to continuing your momentum!

Congratulations. Gorgeous. I have done a little draping so get the challenge especially with such a big print. Kudos to you.

Everyone, thank you all so much for your generous feedback. I wish I could claim more than good luck and opportunism, because that fabric was just too good to waste. I don't know what else to say just now because it's all very surreal. No idea if it will have any lasting significance but it's certainly a nice start to the year.

Firecracker: haha and surely you know I watch Project Runway instead of horror films?! Honestly, that show scares the life out of me!

shevia: Nobody round here seems to know whether the feature is going into the print edition. If we find out I will certainly let you know!

Wow! And that is VERY spectacular use of a challenging fabric!

So exciting! This is definitely the closest I have come to fashion stardom.

Endorsed by Vogue Italia, it does not get better than that! Congratulations. A stunning design.

How brilliant is this, Liz! Congratulations! (And fab that you are enjoying your new job!)
