Where else but in NYC could I find this crazy angel flitting around Greeley Square Park while playing her silent flute. Of course I had to take her picture.

What you see is what you get. … Read More
I have always been a firm believer in the critical importance of fabric research and development as the primary element of great Lingerie design.
