Hello hello busy bees,
During this month filled with pink hearts, most of us will be busy working towards some goal. As I'm working [hard] towards finishing my dissertation, I've just decided to take a short break and give you all a reason to procrastinate for a few minutes.
You see, it's not only Valentine's Day that is the highlight of February. The A/W fashion weeks around the world have kicked off and soon you'll see a media frenzy around these events. Did you ever wonder how [and why] this started?
Well, I'm proud to say it is the brainchild of a public relations person. And originally Fashion Week was called Press Week. Oh the contributions PR makes to society...

And if you are interested to know the full story with all the nitty gritty details of how the World Wars and Vogue editors shaped fashion as we know it today, then you can read my full article here.
Alright, now that you have learned something new [and procrastinated a bit], may be it's time to get back to work?
Until next time,
Miranda
