I’ve always loved the French phrase la rentrée which means the reentry. It encompasses back to school and back to work as everyone returns from their August holidays and tries to get back on track. They’ve already come back but as Americans go back to school and work after this long Labor Day weekend, it’s time to […]

La Rentrée or the reentry period after summer is my favorite time of year because it means that life begins again in earnest in New York.

The French have a lovely term for returning to normal life in September after their August vacation.  It’s called la rentrée and I think it’s a perfect name for today.  It was exactly a year ago today that I returned from Paris. These fabulous photos of Raquel Zimmermann by Terry Richardson shot in Paris reminded me […]
