I took these photos (with a little help from my colleague Pathika) and then I more or less just jumped into the sea and spent all morning swimming. It was one of the most glorious experiences I’ve ever had.

I’m not very good at keeping up with fashion. It’s been years since I last tried, and I don’t remember being extraordinarily interested back then either.
