In my last post, I shared about the resurgence of the belt bag - aka the fanny pack (in case you missed it, you can check it out here: The Belt Bag). Another trend that had popped up a couple of seasons ago and seems to still be going strong is the kitten heel.
Several years ago, I came across a book that blew me away when I read it. The Last Sultan: The Life and Times of Ahmet Ertegun by Robert Greenfield relates astounding details about music industry titan Ahmet, the founder of Atlantic Records, who was married to Mica for 45 years before he died at the age of 83 in 2006.
This past New York Fashion Week, I had a great time photographing some of the street style that was happening in and around the fashion shows. What I enjoyed most about this experience is finding new trends and seeing current ones come to life.
Last year the movie, Casablanca marked its 75th anniversary. This prompted me to write a four-blog series about my all-time favorite film in January 2017. I thought that would be it – I’d covered this subject completely.
The headline for this blog concerns the female airline pilots in India and the challenges they face as reported in Air & Space dated November 2017. This is a bimonthly magazine that is published by the Smithsonian.
I have never visited Ireland. But I know a number of people who have and every single one says, “We had a marvelous time.” One said, “I even saw the thatched roof cottage where my grandmother lived.”
I became interested in Missoni when I read a laudatory piece in Bazaar’s January 2018 issue written by Joan Juliet Buck. I had read her memoir, The Price of Illusion, and was quite impressed, so I sat down at once and read A Colorful Yarn – which reported, in detail, her ties to Missoni.
When I read Ayn Rand’s first major literary success, The Fountainhead, many years ago, I was overwhelmed. It was published in 1943 and is still selling like hotcakes. “It’s reprinted regularly,” said the young sales clerk at Barnes & Noble as he showed me shelf-after-shelf of her books on the fourth floor of the Union Square store.
During this past holiday season, I got to enjoy some downtime. It was during this quiet, I got to catch up on many things I had been too busy to do the previous few months. This list included lots of magazine reading, as they had piled up.
I’m always on the lookout for unusual stories about females. Why? For two reasons: first, ADEA is a female-owned company that offers a diverse selection of apparel for women and, second, there are more doors open to women than in the past.
One rarely reads quotes from Armani, the king of Italian fashion. On the other hand, Karl Lagerfeld talks nonstop as he travels on various jaunts around the world.
