Your Fall 2005 Collection was one of my favorites. It featured designs such as Hallucination, Euphoric, and a crinkled finish vertical stripe, whose name escapes me- which always looked unique AND deceptively simple. These were followed by a Holiday collection which I recall hit just the mark you are now aiming for. In 2004, you had a collection that featured Iridescents. I still go for these first when I reach in my closet; because they are deceptively simple; but for the Jhane enthusiast, put on a special 'light show' in the sunlight! In today's economy its easy to be tempted by others to drift away from your course. Most famous Artists through history had markets which lost touch on occasion with their style; but names such as Monet, Degas and Van Gogh of the group stayed the course and fame found them again for all time. DaVinci refined his Mona Lisa (with no record of a Commission or payment for - who was just an everyday lady) for seventeen years - right up until his death. He just knew that she had that 'special something' for all time! - Today it is the single Most Recognised work of art in the world. Great torches such as yours will burn their brightest, because your artistry is unique in its time! I believe you should stay true to what designs have made you famous.
