Fashion Wire Daily - Fashion Wire Daily May 28, 2004 - Seattle - It’s hard not to get nostalgic bombing around my hometown, Seattle, in the same car that I learned to drive in 17 years ago. The steering wheel is looser now, almost squirrelly. Many of the passenger doors don’t quite open and the knob falls off the sunroof turn handle when I twist it. Though I hardly remember the street names anymore, I automatically know where to turn, how to negotiate the lanes and traffic, seeking out my favorite old haunts. There is a familiarity in everything - the quality of light here, the pungent scents of spring and the local landmarks that, despite time, have managed to remain unchanged since my departure over 15 years ago.
