There are so many wonderful events coming up in Paris this fall including Avedon: Photographs from The Richard Avedon Foundation sale at Christie’s November 20, 2010. Over 60 Avedon iconic photographs as well as several unique and extremely rare items will be up for sale. Proceeds from the sale will initiate The Richard Avedon Foundation’s […]
Jeremiah Goodman always had a mythical air about him to me because I had never seen his photo. That was until about a month ago when I stumbled upon some photos of him taken during his work for the new Acne store in London. It was almost as if someone had pulled back the curtain […]
There are so many wonderful events on the calendar this fall but the one I am most excited about is Inspired Impressions: Interior Paintings by Jeremiah Goodman. The New York School of Interior Design (170 East 70th Street, New York, NY 10021) will be exhibiting 38 original painting and Interior Design magazine covers from October […]
Photographer François Halard recently had an exhibition which was compiled into an accompanying book entitled Visite Privée. The collection of photographs of artists and their studios include Cy Twombly, Julian Schnabel, Carlos Mollino, Ahn Duong, Richard Avedon, Paul Cezanne, Robert Rauschenberg, and others. My favorite space is of course Mr. Hallard’s own home in Arles, France. […]
It’s going to be over 80 degrees today in New York today and that makes it a great weekend to getaway. A perfect place to do so would be the country house in Connecticut owned by designers Richard Lambertson and John Truex. The showhouse room in my last post reflected more of their city style while […]
I could have spent all day in the room designed by Lambertson Truex and Patrik Lonn at the American Fashion: Designers at The Aldyn showhouse last week. Not only was the room spectacular but Richard Lambertson and Patrik Lonn (above) were so nice. I had a great time chatting with them both about design, travel, […]
This small foyer sitting room in one of the apartments at the American Fashion: Designers at The Aldyn showhouse was designed by Felicia Zwebner of Art de Triomphe. Her inspiration was American fashion designer Bill Blass and I think the orange room is perfect for the first day of Autumn. The designer took “a playful interpretation […]
The weather in New York may feel like the height of summer but the calendar says it’s the first full day of autumn. In order to get us in the mood, I thought I would post photos of the fall foliage that should be upon us soon. “Autumn is a second spring when every leaf […]
When I asked Malcolm James Kutner and Elie Tahari if they knew each other before they paired up for the American Fashion: Designers at The Aldyn showhouse, they replied they did not. Malcolm said it was like a blind date that actually worked out which we all know is a rarity. After seeing the master bedroom […]
L’amour fou translated into English means crazy love or mad love. It is also the title of a new documentary about the love of more than 50 years between fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner in business and life, Pierre Bergé. Listening to Pierre Bergé speak at Yves funeral is enough to make […]
I’ve always loved Harper’s Bazaar but it seems like lately they can do no wrong. My October 2010 issue arrived today and I’ve already found myself drooling over everything. What I love most about Bazaar is that they always feature reasonably priced fashions that I can afford actually amidst all the aspirational outfits. A Fashionable […]
As fashion week was ending last week, American Fashion: Designers at the Aldyn Showhouse was just beginning. It is a showhouse of fashionable interiors inspired by the book American Fashion Designers at Home published by Assouline and the CFDA. Each of the 22 rooms pairs an interior designer with a fashion designer or icon as […]
Another show I attended during fashion week with pretty and colorful fashions was Nanette Lepore. It was very reminiscent of her home in the West Village which is also very colorful and at times a little whimsical. You can tell Nanette is a designer who doesn’t take fashion or herself so seriously. Sometimes you just want to […]
One of the most fun shows I attended during fashion week was Tory Burch. It was another presentation where the models stand on the raised platform and like Chris Benz, it got a little crazy after the celebrities arrived. (Yes, I was standing behind Kayne West!) As you all know, orange is my favorite color and there was […]
The new online magazine Rue has debuted today and I am very excited to be featured in its pages. The co-founders, Anne Sage of The City Sage and Crystal Gentilello of Plush Palate have put together a superb premier issue and I’m honored that they asked to include my work. You can check out the […]
The best fashions are often found off the runway during fashion week. It’s interesting and inspiring to watch what the editors and buyers are wearing to the tents. One of the those with a very chic personal style is Harper’s Bazaar Senior Fashion Market Editor Joanna Hillman. I saw her during resort and a few times this […]
