the very best thing at Milano fashion week

was this guerilla street presentation





I thought it was a homeless person at first …until I looked closer ….



beautiful custom handmade shoes boots and sandals

and……… I didnt get their name …

If anyone did let me know !

absolutely fabulous...

truly utterly and absolutely fabulous…
rest in peace Anna
I remember being enchanted and entranced by her at the Milan shows each season … so tiny and always so outstanding! I so wanted to photograph her ….
without a doubt she will be sadly missed!
