We chatted about Kiton a bit, and we agreed that the jacket shape Kiton does is a bit barrel-shaped.

We did not have to say your name aloud.

Mina: "Vaste spalle, vita stretta."

I have this as "But it's fun to rub their bellies!" - any better translation?

I also had a lovely meeting with Mina and Dino today, and I look forward to having some jackets and a suit made up by them. -LR

I showed her the US note that has my bust and my motto: "I am the style Lorax. I speak for the steez." But in Latin, the language of the Romans.

I mentioned it to her and I'm not too worried about it. I also noticed that the examples she had on display in her studio looked more like what I want. I have a fat head and figured those lapels would accentuate that.

I don't know, I would think skinnier lapels would make a fat head look fatter.
