Gypsies, fashion, dreams and the caravan . . .

Saw this fashion spread in V Magazine with Kate Moss (model, party girl, and “designer” for Top Shop) as a gypsy perched on the back of this beautiful gypsy caravan (also known as a vardo, I just discovered).  Not sure what to make of all this, or even quite what to say except that it’s stunning photography and that she should have been wearing the Dominion of Light Jewels necklace Caravanserai, or perhaps Petrushka . . .

There’s also this poem in the wonderful little book Caravan of Dreams by the famous Sufi writer Idries Shah:

Here we are, all of us: in a dream-caravan.

A caravan, but a dream—a dream, but a caravan.

And we know which are the dreams.

Therein lies the hope.
