At 40, Franz Kafka (1883-1924), who never married and had no children, was walking through a park one day in Berlin when he met a girl who was crying because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka searched for the doll unsuccessfully.Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would come back to look for her.The next day, when they had not yet found the doll, Kafka gave the girl a letter "written" by the doll saying "please don't cry. I took a trip to see the world. I will write to you about my adventures."Thus began a story which continued until the end of Kafka's life.During their meetings, Kafka read the letters of the doll carefully written with adventures and conversations that the girl found adorable.Finally, Kafka brought back the doll (he bought one) that had returned to Berlin."It doesn't look like my doll at all," said the girl.Kafka handed her another letter in which the doll wrote: "my travels have changed me." The little girl hugged the new doll and brought the doll with her to her happy home.A year later Kafka died.Many years later, the now-adult girl found a letter inside the doll. In the tiny letter signed by Kafka it was written:"Everything you love will probably be lost, but in the end, love will return in another way."Embrace change. It's inevitable for growth. Together we can shift pain into wonder and love, but it is up to us to consciously and intentionally create that connection.

This romantic dress is printed with roses and has machine-lace frills on the skirt. In the 1870s and 1880s fashion looked back to the late 1700s, with its flamboyant fabrics, for inspiration. The blurred effect on this evening dress is created by printing the warp prints before the fabric is woven. This ikat technique originated in Asia and was introduced to France in the mid-1700s, where it was known as chiné. Here, it’s use, together with the laced bodice and open over-skirt draped back over the hips and into the bustle, reflect the historical revival style with its imitation of an eighteenth-century open gown.
