A Versace Couture primrose yellow wool coat with a dull satin colour, that was what was in the moth bag. It is an 'old' coat from a collection that was designed by Gianni Versace himself and he died in 1997.
So it is not a coat for 'everyday' use! She wears it in the Spring as the colour is glorious and it was just right for Friday which was a 'proper' Spring day but being so pale, the wool would show every mark, she wears it when she knows she is walking, no sitting on bus or tube seats in this baby!
She is still in contact with most of the people that she worked for and with and so it was with a group of them that she went to the Members' View of this exhibition on William Kent at The Victoria & Albert Museum.
Go if you can to see this exhibition.. for it does your eyes and spirit wonders to see such glorious things.
The group lunched locally, it is extremely rare that they all get to be together, there is only one of her colleagues who still lives in London, so lunch was an extremely happy and noisy affair with a lot of laughter and teasing going on between them.
"No, they didn't, really, how can they be so .... " was the reaction when one of the 'gang' told a story about 'a simply wretched client', who, of course, sadly for you Dear Readers, is going to remain nameless!
The thing about these people is that she has known and worked with some of them for over twenty five years, a long time, they are extraordinarily loyal to each other and know that none of them would ever, ever sell or tell a 'story' about any client to any journalist.
Being part of a decorative team means that you are working in homes, yes, they do commercial work as well but not as often as in private homes.
You are, therefore, privy to the peoples' private lives and you know she never tells you her clients' names, she has written about a couple of them but they were clients whom she adored and who were wonderful to work for and with.
Members of the team have worked in buildings designed by this man, with his extraordinary talent, upon whom this wonderful exhibition is based.
What was nice was that a few 'clients' were at the exhibition and the way they greeted the restorers showed how much they valued their work.
Which clients, which buildings? Only the team and their clients know that.
PipPip, Dear Readers, it is late and there are things to be done.. yes, even on Sunday, 'things' still have to be done!
GeeGee Parrot.
