La Grande Bretagne sera sous les feux de la rampe la semaine qui s'annonce.
Aussi rendons-nous hommage à la création britannique - et assimilée puisque, comme Paris, Londres sait accueillir nombre de designers venant du monde entier.
Nous avons donc concocté plusieurs tenues qui sauront, du moins nous l'espérons, mettre en valeur les différentes facettes et toute la richesse de nos chers "voisins".
(Avec cependant deux ou trois écarts, car l'autarcie, même créative, n'est jamais entièrement possible...)
