GAME CHANGERS
I admire human beings like these, who use their means and influence to make a difference, to make the
world a better place to live. Just imagine what the world would look like, if nobody cared. They are an inspiration!

PAY IT FORWARD
-Is a very good and strong philosophy to live by.
When you think about how the past have influenced todays fashion and everything else, you have to pay attention and act towards that. Because what ever you do, will also affect the future somehow.
So why not make the most of it and Pay it forward? Because everything you do, will come/get back to you, one way or another. To make a difference, be aware, be conscious, be the best you can, for a better world.
Take a look at one of my favorite movies: "Pay it forward" and get inspired.
Next up: People who makes a difference.

AN ICONIC COLLECTOR
The eccentric heiress, celebrity and Fashion Icon, Daphne Guiness is another great collector of Haute Couture.
The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York has just opened an exhibition that features approxi-mately 100 garments and accessories from her personal
collection, including designs from the likes of Alexander McQueen, Azzedine Alaïa, Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Rick Owens, Gareth Pugh, and Valentino.
Daphne Guinness' own designs are also on display. The exhibition is co-curated by Valerie Steele, Director and Chief Curator of The Museum at FIT. Check her out in this interview, by Nick Knight.
As an heiress to the Guiness Brewery and a divorcee to the Greek shipping billionaire Stavros Niarchos, she has the money to buy whatever she likes.
She is fearless and an inspiration for many designers. She even upgraded her own collection by buying the collection of her friend and distant relative, the late Isabella Blow last year, to preserve and keep it together. That´s nice.

FASHION INFLUENTAL TV-SERIES
Mad Men takes place at an advertising agency in the 1960´es; a very inspirational decade in fashion. that continues to influence the designers of today, all over the world. Especially with an ongoing tv-series like that.
And we are not done yet, because a new British drama Tv-series The Hour, inspired by the 1950, taking place at BBC television though, will probably maintain the fashion-influence from that period for a some time.
In The Fashion File, the book by the costume designer of Mad Men, Janie Bryant, you can find more inspiration and advices, if you´re mad about the 1960.
