The Duchess of Cornwall celebrated her 61st birthday last July 17, 2008. She and Prince Charles visited the Organic Allotment at St. James’ Park, London where they were presented with a basketful of produce, which included a giant green cabbage. The British royal couple also enjoyed a carrot cake made with organic ingredients, which Camilla cut with a garden trowel.

The 60th Saln Internacional de la Moda de Madrid (SIMM) or the Madrid International Fashion Fair began on July 17, 2008. The three-day fashion event featured hundreds of exhibitors. This year’s fair was organized into sectors based on style and fashion philosophy. Examples of the sectors were GALA (cocktail and evening wear), ETERNA (contemporary basics), ALMA AIRE (current trends), ALMA TIERRA (natural textiles and ethnic prints), and DIVA (daring, sensual and exuberant styles). Also shown were fashions for men and ready-made collections.

As Spain’s Crown Princess and a fashion icon, Princess Letizia was the perfect choice to open the fashion fair. For the event, the princess wore a simple emerald-green dress paired with a brooch and open-toed heels.
