Our beautiful friend Serena has come to visit us for the first time in two years. Sere used to live in Cape Town; initially came to visit for a month and ended up spending four years. Perhaps we can get her to stay longer this time round?
She lives in Parma, Italy, and facilitates creative events and gatherings, curates exhibitions and vintage fairs. She also has the most impeccable taste - in true Italian fashion. She has arrived with a massive suitcase full of European-smell clothing, detailed dresses and shoes stuffed in pouches bearing impressive brand crests on them. With every garment she pulls from the surplus of suitcase, breath bating, I realise how desperately I must make my trek beyond where I am now. The clothing symbolic of the texture I am craving, the inspiration and the fibres I must gather to make up my bigger suitcase (if you will). Pack suitcase, soon.
Serena is here. The timing could not be more perfect.
