There is something almost poetic about the flowering pears outside my bedroom window and the way they juxtapose with the naked bark of every other tree on the street. Clearly we are finally at the fulcrum of winter’s last breath and springs rebirth. It’s the dichotomy that intrigues me. The clarity of light and the crystal blue skies belie the frost bitten nights.

He analyzes every stitch expecting maximum structural integrity at the best possible price. But when it came time … Read More
Today I had lunch with my 89 year old friend, Roslyn Harte. Roz is still on top of her game as she 
celebrates her 58th year in the Lingerie Industry. A pint size design legend with an outsize heart of gold, she is not one to mince words and is a force to be reckoned with. It’s never a good idea to get in her cross-hairs. After we attended … Read More
