ϖI looked back at last year’s column, and I mentioned the shoot for the spring/summer catalogue, and then Alex’s photo, and I thought it was déjà vu for the end of this year. [Laughs.

Yes, we asked Alex again for the next spring/summer catalogue. Look forward to the finished product!

I think this year has been a difficult year for many things in the world. It’s been a year where the things that happen around me that make me cringe are really not that big of a deal, and I wake up every day in peace and I’m really thankful for that. On a side note, I recently got a new mat and every day I feel happy when I sleep. (Laughs.

The countries I visit for exhibitions are so-called developed countries, where many people who can afford to enjoy fashion live. But they are only a small part of the world. I hope that every person in every country will have the time to feel a crush on beautiful clothes. I just pray that they will have the time to feel the thrill of wearing beautiful clothes in every country.

When someone’s wish comes true, the other is crying. The lyrics of Hikaru Utada’s song are heartbreaking at the end of the year.

It was such a hot autumn, but now it’s suddenly midwinter and it’s hard to get in shape, but I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year’s Eve!

May you have another moment of smiling in Sarahweare’s clothes next year.
