It was unusually cool in Cabo yesterday; a blanket of dark clouds coating the sky. I decided to take a long walk in the arid hills behind my house. One might question my decision. Hiking through the desert is not often a first choice destination. This terrain, often perceived as a dry and barren space is, to me, a place of serene beauty.

This year, because of the intensity of Hurricane Odile, it is still, in January, a mass of verdant undergrowth.

But for me, the highlight was Eurovet’s Fashion Trend Exposé for Intimate Apparel. Four major stories propel the design process for Fall 2015: Wuthering Heights, Beatrix Potter, Bloomsbury and David Hockney. Here’s a teaser: read more
