NYC January 2020

[ROman]

I was hoping you would have been there as well. I'm sorry about you working and your kids being sick. I hope they get well soon. @Matty123

[Madame Buttonfly]

Excited to see you @babyknight @ROman and @Jett129.

Sorry to hear you can't make it @Matty123 and hope the kids get well very soon.

@DougNg how did you break your ankle?  Sounds horrible, and I apologise for the total lack of sympathy from your forum friends

We've got a little time to kill in at the airport before our flight so we setup camp with good proximity to the beer fridge. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

@Madame Buttonfly

Rolled my ankle running. Jody is beyond furious with me because I waited ten days to see the doctor and was walking around on it.

[goosehd]

@DougNg Was your ankle healing fine on its own or do they have to re-break it again?  Surgery?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!!

[DougNg]

Looks like it’s going to be ok on its own. Thanks for asking.

They freaked out when they saw the break because I’d been walking on it for so long.

Great time in NYC so far. The collection has been super well received!

Really nice to see a few familiar faces last night! Here's a few random photos I've taken over the last couple of days.

Yesterday was crazy busy! We got the keys to our showroom in the morning and had to set up the furniture and hang our new collection by lunchtime before 6 back to back meetings with some of our American retailers.

Some pics from the space we are showing in

And a bonus couple of pics of what is helping me stay warm in frigid NYC

@Jett129 @babyknight @ROman and all who joined us for drinks last night, thanks so much - it was wonderful to see you

^ Great pics and the showroom is looking good ^

Some of you longer-term members may remember the lovely Ayumi?  She was Haraki san's interpreter until she moved to New York and married, and the lovely Sarina took over the role.

She paid us a visit at the showroom yesterday with her GORGEOUS 6-month old son, Kai 

[Madame Buttonfly]

Thanks @den1mhead - it's a large, white space and furniture rental is silly pricey here so we've kept it fairly spartan, but we're happy with the way its come together, and fortunately it's well heated because it's very, very cold outside.

Great pics @Madame Buttonfly @Alex @AdamJ Thank you all. Makes me miss NYC though, That is my favourite part of town you guys are in. I bet H is enjoying himself… 

[neph93]

Oh, and @Alex you're killing me with that white (cream? ecru?), N1 vest. It is astonishingly beautiful.

(Nice shirt too  ??? )

[AdamJ]

Ivory… may or may not be in deck jacket too

I think we all realise it may be that. Perfect colour to lift the design out of the workshop and onto the high street. Or in this case the Norwegian public school system [emoji15]

Of course, Ted is here with us - like many of us, he's got a serious GOOD ART HLYWD habit…
