Fashion

The single woman traveler is of course interested in fashion, particularly clothes which are chic and comfortable and will withstand long distance flights and other means of transport. I was therefore delighted to have been invited to visit the Carlisle/PerSe collection fashion show which was hosted in Greenwich. Designer Susan Klope presented her latest collection and, a highlight, used as models a mother-daughter combo who pulled off the task with panache. It also showed that the same item, jazzed up with individual style and accessories, can be worn by women of all ages. A tiny trick for tighter skirts: a hidden zip in the hem in back which can be opened or closed to allow even longer strides. Great idea, as were the stretchy fabrics for smart dresses.
