Just a quick post – awaiting the AW 10 collection, I have been browsing the SS ’10 Balmain collection that debuted in October. Beautiful, simple and commanding. The perfect way to bridge the ice of winter with the moisture and regeneration of spring. For Spring 2010 – pass on pastels and focus your sights on the chrome-toned sharply designed military monochromatic pieces inspired by Balmain.

One of my first moments in which I felt welcome in the industry will always be a memory that is inextricably linked with McQueen.
After my freshman year of college, I moved into a model apartment on the Upper East Side. It was a brownstone, and I felt like a veritable Carrie Bradshaw dancing down the six steps to the sidewalk, where the concrete was cracked by the large root of the tree that leaned over 81st Street.
With a fresh cut from beloved Jenny Balding at Cutler (the beginning of a long relationship of trust! Refused to trim my hair while living in Paris, for fear of ruining Jenny’s perpetually perfect work), I walked into Redken’s Fifth Avenue headquarters for a runway casting. I tried to internalize my agent’s advice, “Project that you already have the job. They’ll believe you.”

The success of this blog has been amazing! THANK YOU to everyone who has been visiting, reading and enjoying the posts. My press pass for NYFW resulted in these photos, which I hope capture the air of Bryant Park, for the final walk. In September, the Spring Summer 2011 shows will move to Lincoln Center, to take up residence with the other art forms that, along with fashion, give New York City life.

If you are in the NYC area, please consider attending this fundraiser on Thursday, January 21st. The chair is my dear friend, Victor Medina-San Andrés.
Before starting at University, I read “Mountains Beyond Mountains,” about Dr. Paul Farmer and his incredible organization, Partners in Health. The images were difficult to forget. Port-Au-Prince has remained on my mind. Several factors (mahogany trees play a large part) have crippled the agriculture of Haiti, a wound that the nation has never recovered from.
As of this evening, the American Red Cross estimates 140,000 deaths in Haiti – and the count could soon reach 200,000. The depth of destruction is unbelievable. At moments like this, it is difficult to understand why a nation with such fragile health infrastructure would be subject to this crisis. In my eyes, I hope that this catastrophic loss of life will jar the world to attention; we are one human community, and it is intolerable to allow our brothers and sisters to exist in nations without clean water, without antibiotics, and without the ability to sustain a natural disaster. 2010 is a new decade, and one that should be marked by a concentrated change in perspective toward the human community.
