It might be Year of the Rabbit for most of us, but on The Blonds Fall 2011 runway it was the Year of the Dragon which, incidentally, is next winter.

When the show opened with a Dragon dance act, I knew I was in for a Far East (The Orient, if you prefer the more colonial term) experience. There was a little bit of everything – Kimonos, Thai head pieces, Yin and Yang and Karate details – in flowing silks embellished with fringe, beads and crystals by the pound. No doubt, we have a good year of stage looks ahead of us.
