Here are some of my designs from back then. I was clearly into designing asymmetric styles. I was very avantgarde in style.
The color ones are from when I was in school in Paris, & the hats are when I was a designer/illustrator at Pierre Cardin. I designed a lot of accessories for his many collections. These were for couture. He’d come up end of week & select from our designs. Some selected, some not. I think these ones were not selected which is why I have them.

Thought you might like to see my outfit that was from back in 1986 I presented representing France, as I was at school studying haute couture there, in the reknowned Concours International des Jeunes Createurs de Mode.
My outfit was almost completely reversible. Giant shoulder pads. It was crazy back then. I’ve always loved pattern as you can tell. (This is a model, not me, btw).

I was given a case (500) of free white N95 masks that don’t fit me. They are size medium, but small fit and have unadjustable straps that go around the head, not just over the ears, which I don’t like.
They are surgical quality N95s. I have a case, with 10 boxes of 50.
If anyone in #Toronto can use them, they are yours. If there is a place anyone can suggest I donate them, that would be great too.
Architect Pro, expiry date on them is end of this year.

I highly recommend fostering cats. I fostered a high needs feral FIV+ cat for over a year. All the medical stuff was covered, food was deductible, medicines covered too. If it gets too much, they can transfer to another foster pretty fast. His needs increased significantly at a certain point and I didn’t feel like I could continue with my schedule. Its great because you can see if it’s a fit for both of you, a try before you buy. I had the sweetest cat, he found an amazing forever home after me.

India’s viral “cockroach party”, a movement powered by satire and gen z, youth dismissed and disaffected by unemployment, education, and crackdowns on free expression, is doing numbers too big to ignore and may change the face of India.
