Hello, MBWife-
Lovely to hear from you. I so admire Suzy--and was incredibly fortunate to be seated across the table from her. Then I had tea with her and JPG last Saturday and we chatted. I read her new fashion reports every week, often multiple features, and love her textured and rich and vivid use of words.

Albarosa: I will tell you what I was wearing.
I have dark hair and turquoise/pale green eyes, pale skin (background). I was wearing a wonderful Prada black fitted jacket, black straight pants, black crocodile clutch, and my black Moleskine notebook. Manolo Blahnik snakeskin stilettos, and what caught her eye were a beautiful turquoise large round bead necklace (discovered in Jaipur), as well as a delicious light cashmere large shawl, which I had wrapped around my shoulders. She said 'Oh, your necklace and your shawl...turquoise, matches your eyes, I love your look...' It was so generous and spontaneous and gracious of her...I thought she was the top of the top. I hope you meet her. Brilliant.
cheers to you, dear friends, DIANE

You know I too, like the street fashion and street art, I do get bored by most Art and most fashion and he seems to like the more authentic clothing from real people not the 3%..

No men in skirts? When I opened my own firm in 1987, my first client was a true NY Fashionista. She often wore Gaultier to our meetings which was an education for me, seeing the dresses up-close in the light of day. (Most worked better standing than seated, by the way).

He really is an artist. But I so admire your ability to report on this magical moment in a way that doesn't diminish the magic. -- mbwife
