I am back in the Northeast. Paris and Curve beckon. It’s cold. Snow is forecast for NY for the first time this winter and a blanket of grey hovers heavily over the entire stratosphere. It’s a far cry from Cabo San Lucas, but I don’t mind. Priorities shift. Energy accelerates (how could it not in New York City). And, best of all, my grandson, the new love of my life, … Read More
Several weeks ago, in a conversation with François Pomѐs, editor in chief of Creations Magazine, we began a discussion about the emerging bralette trend in fashion.

Nothing equates with femininity quite as well as live flowers. Although Kristin Hatgi’s Silk Flower fashion photography is not live (the only image here that is not ), it pretty much sums up the way flowers can transfer the lingerie and apparel into exquisite works of art.
I am back in Cabo San Lucas now and have been missing October in New York and the dramatic bounty of color that transforms this region at this time of year.
