FITA Magazine Vol. III / Star Portraits

Our steps through London’s fairy atmosphere are crowned by Georg Friedrich Haendel’s symphony, which accompanies the cadence of our artistic aspirations. We are guided by the words and instructions of Virginia Woolf’s diary, which warns us “The streets of London have their map, by your passions are uncharted. What are you going to meet if you turn this corner?”
