Day 6. Milano....and More Milano...and More to come...

20.10 hrs. We just left Milan Railwaystation. Little less than 2 hours to go back to Vicenza. Last day, last evening. Great Memories.
Just some pictures...from the Pret a Porter Fashion Fair..Chocolat cake with crema con fragole....and the Duomo...

More to come soon..Via della Spiga...Wait till you see the pictures from the 3 days ago opened Pirelli shop. Absolutely Amazing!!!

Lots of fun and laughter during the trip back to Vicenza in a very comfortable train.

We arrived in Vicenza round 22.50 hrs. Taxi to the hotel...

In the hotel we said goodbye to translator Manuel who was a great help during the week.
We all got a little book from the region and a little bag with hazelnuts from the familytree in his garden. Might bake a plumcake sprinkled with chopped hazelnuts.
A last Spritz, a last talk.... and off to bed for a very short night sleep...

Jean Paul Gaultier ..  My Hero when I studied Fashion at Art College. I remember buying the magazine Marie Claire Bis every season.. And in the where...

Chiffon and lace Aprons... Old Models... Amazing adverts.. Guess he was -and still is- a big inspiration for Fashion students..

At the moment De Kunsthal in Rotterdam shows the exhibition:  The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk I went yesterday..

And I could take a break from a few hours,. and breath... I was a bit nervous when I
