This Makes Me Think
With Milan switching to Paris, the annual twice fashion week is closing to an end again. I’ve recently seen this image in London Metro newspaper and couldn’t help but scan it and share it here. Because it really makes me think again.
The pink and white stripy T-shirt and over-washed jeans. It all seems very familiar and reminds me of Italian designer duo DSquare2′s collection (which you have a peek below here.)
But when I read on, the story was quite shocking - Children and old people had to edge along a narrow cliff-side path to collect water as drought grips their village. They live in one of the worst-hit areas of China, where almost all the crops have failed as streams have dried up. And they are forced to make daily trips along the perilous track to find drinking water in caves!!
While some of us are raving about what to wear next season, some other human beings in the world are worrying about food and fresh water… This makes me think again, but we can’t help with the buzz of newness flashing over every single season, can we?!
