Kirin's media debut

You try all of your life to become a journalist/media person and your son accomplishes it at the tender age of 17 months by appearing in a major international newspaper. How cool is that?

For the past couple of weeks, I have been working on a supplement for the Financial Times called "The Business of Fashion". The theme of the issue was shopping as politics, Bono's notion that there is a growing class of consumer that wants to buy products that are made in sustainable and ethical ways. It appeared in the paper today (click on the picture to enlarge it).

One designer who features prominently is Katharine Hamnett, who is famous for making T-shirts emblazoned with political slogans. She has recently created some new ones using organic cotton. One of them was a children's T-shirt and I thought it would be nice to have a kid to model it. Enter Kirin.

It was a bit tricky getting a half-decent picture of a toddler but this one worked out ok. If anyone wants a copy, I have about 50 at the office.

Finally, an old family friend, Nisha, and her husband Mark have created a baby blog of their own. Check it out here.
