February 12, 2023 at 5:48 pmI wish they would make a museum or some art exhibit that features the first 12 chainmail dresses!! I bet they could still be pulled off today. That’s true, iconic fashion right there. A look that’s unique and stands the test of time. Done and done! Condolences still to his family. xoxoJJ

February 5, 2023 at 5:14 pmYes, DAVID, I couldn’t agree more about his legacy going on forever! His fashion might not have been functional at all, but it certainly made a lasting impression. And no telling how many impressions those same designs made on the models’ bodies haha! So wonderful to see you on the BBC! Hope they call you back again!! Congrats and cheers, my friend! I’d also really love to hear more about that ghost! xoxoJJ
