It was such a trend-setter, featuring army surplus clothes and flea market and vintage, that are now so commonplace but at that time was considered chic and creative and trend-setting.<br />CAROL TROY is now a photographer, living in the Napa Valley. She came to my recent design seminar at Maisonry...and sent me the following today:<br /><br />DIANE<br /><br />Lovely fashion illustrator piece.<br /><br />Caterine and I were so lucky to get Antonio to do our pix and then draw on them!<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><br />CarolDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-20932874691935949162012-03-20T19:53:53.402-07:002012-03-20T19:53:53.402-07:00Dear Friends--<br />Dear Francine and Karena and Nicola-<br /><br />I love your comments, thank you.<br />David Downton is the most charming man, and is also witty and fun company. I liked him very much--and he made many fans in San Francisco.<br />Ken&#39;s party for David was one of the great events--a wonderful guest list of accomplished friends plus some great new friends from Chile and Argentina, including a chic woman who is a cultural/women&#39;s issues cabinet minister in the Chilean government. She and her companions were a delight.<br />Now David is back at his studio--always working and creating beauty.<br />I hope he comes back soon. (And no...no pictures of me in my stories...my focus is always on the talented and creative people I write about...and am fortunate to know.)<br />very best you to creative minds! And highly talented women, all of you.<br />DIANEDiane Dorrans Saekshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02259292681678952448[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543457325368639597.post-39259633225310105342012-03-20T07:03:59.524-07:002012-03-20T07:03:59.524-07:00Dear Diane! <br />I love this interview firstly because the Most Interesting Mr.Downton is quintessentially, divinely British and secondly because of his marvelous capture of great women of style.
