Ports 1961

I went to the ports show and lucked out by sitting front row staring at jessica stam while she was preparing to hit the runway. she can sell just about anything. however, i didn't love the whole collection. there were some lovely pieces, but i think the inspiration behind it took over.( according to the notes at the show, ports designer Tia Cibani took inspiration from the mythology of Gaelic tales. the collection was seen through the eyes of their muse, Lassair (flame, fire pronounced law-seer), under the spell of a scottish winter. right. got it.
