We at TWIN, know that fashion has blood and brains and pizzazz, but it also has its own idiosyncrasies, as just one example it’s always been a law unto itself as far as the seasons are concerned. Deliveries of clothes clash with the seasons in real time, and just as one season is being delivered, the next is being launched on the runways. The recent cruise collections extend fashion seasons as news, as do international fashion weeks in locations as far apart as Australia or Spain.
