“What happened? Where’s the Show?”

“The models had to go – they had another show to go to.”

I am a fan of Twinkle by Wenlan. As I flip through a fashion mag I frequently find the clothes I covet are creations by Taipei native and New York based Wenlan Chia. That’s why I gave up my Sunday morning (on my wedding anniversary no less) to hustle down to the West Village for her show, but….can someone at least send me a gift bag???
