Hello lovely readers,

Just a note to say I am on holiday in Japan this week so Manish will be taking over – as he did during both Easter and Summer last year, for a week each time.

This means he will be penning the articles on Wednesday and Friday this week, and any comments addressed to me will be answered in a week’s time, although Manish will do his best to answer any more general points.

The trip is a family holiday, but as I was here and the new magazine had a Japan theme anyway, we took the opportunity to have a little launch party at Bryceland’s. It was a lovely affair – graced by Kamoshita-san and some high-profile designers such as Poggy – but also friends like David Marx and Adrian Hogan, and a good few readers I’d never met before.

Thank you, Ethan et al for having us, and see everyone in a week. I love you but I need a break.

Over to you Manish!
