Torchbearers

For the last 9 years, I have been building a scholarship fund at Barnard College, my alma mater. Recently, I attended the annual Torchbearers event where donors connect with the students who benefit from the many scholarship, fellowship and internship funds which donors have established. This year, I met my third student and we had a terrific evening becoming acquainted.  Gianni LaTange, Barnard ’16, is wildly industrious. She has been on the debate team, served as a student ambassador, tutored fellow students, taught public speaking to fourth and fifth graders and played varsity basketball. And that was all in high school! She is interested in Urban Studies and Economics and would feel very comfortable in the world of fashion. But, my feeling is—stand by—a lot can happen in this dynamic young lady’s life in 4 years. My previous students started with me as Juniors so it will be a luxury to watch what develops with Gianni during her entire tenure at Barnard.

In this photo, we have taken a break from the Torchbearers dinner to be interviewed for a video which will be shown at the Barnard Annual Gala in April.

Good Times at “The Hanky Panky Handshake™” Happy Hour at Baublebar

Champagne bubbles, sparkling baubles and loads of colorful lace. Sounds like a girl’s dream, doesn’t it? Well, for Hanky Panky and BaubleBar it’s just another Wednesday night.

This week, the Hanky Panky crew teamed up with BaubleBar at their Pop Up shop “BaubleBar Unwrapped” for the launch of The Hanky Panky Handshake,™ the signature gesture that occurs when girls meet and share their mutual love for Hanky Panky, by flashing a bit of lace waistband.

With a little help from the guppyPOD, party-goers were able to print out photos that they Instagramed or Tweeted from the event using the hashtag #handshake2013.

Guests were also encouraged to share their take on The Hanky Panky Handshake™ with us. There were prizes, goodie bags, and fun was had by all.

Art Deco Textiles

With hit shows Downton Abbey and Boardwalk Empire set in the Jazz Age, and a new interpretation of The Great Gatsby on its way, we’re feeling a twinge of nostalgia for the looks of the roaring twenties!

At a recent visit to the Museum at FIT’s textile collection, I had a chance to view some of their phenomenal fabrics from the Art Deco era.

Poiret Rose Print

Deco Geometric

I am particularly excited by these quirky conversational prints from the late 1920s.  They’re all relatively small in scale, and invite comment upon closer inspection. The tire print is probably my favorite. Automobiles were still considered a glamorously modern mode of transport at the time.

“Mothballs & Sugar” designed by photographer Edward Steichen(!) 1928.

“Tires & Tire Treads” by Marshall Field’ & Co. Spring 1929

“Billet Doux” by C.B. Falls. Spring 1929

I was also very impressed by these beautifully embroidered French designs for clutch handbags. The couched braid technique used gives the items so much texture and luxurious sheen. The rich detail perfectly embodies the Art Deco aesthetic.
