Years ago I was a massive B & W fan - his pieces were elegant, glitzy and wearable. After watching the Couture (?) show, I browsed the offerings on Q's website - dear lord, the necklaces aren't a patch on what he used to produce, there are more than enough ridiculous animal keyrings, and as for the skulls and skeletons, sorry Simon even they are a bit old hat now.
Go back to what you know Simon, - viewers were asking about the stuff on the promo, but he said it was 9 years old and needs to be stopped airing - thats enough to realise the old pieces are wanted. Where are the (clip on) chandelier earrings ? and the wonderfully large glitzy stone necklaces, and the show stopping crystal brooches - forget also the obsession with 'AB' coating, you certainly never did that in years gone by. The road to cheapness appears to be whats its all about now.
(pssst I think Julia is well down the 'steroid' path, with her chubby cheeks - a sign I know only too well, having been there. Hope it does her good)
