Evening gowns floated down the runway as if they had just emerged from an eighteenth-century painting…and in a way, they did. Francisco de Goya’s painting, “Portrait of Maria Teresa Vallabriga on Horseback” helped inspire the combination of structure and softness that appeared through the entire Marchesa collection.
With awards season just around the corner, it’s clear this kind of romance will make a return to the red carpet…
If you know me then you know I live for a gown moment. I always say~ my dream is to shoot beautiful women in beautiful gowns in beautiful places. Every now and then I get to be one of these fantasies and I had the privilege to wear the green Zac Posen gown recently to Bergdorf Goodman’s 111th anniversary celebration at the Plaza Hotel! What a night! Kelly and I brought the gowns back to the studio the next day to capture our evening attire on set to remember the moment forever… thank you, Zac, for all your glory.

OscarPRGirl is not only setting an industry standard in etiquette but she is one of those women with a certain je ne sais quoi… and she has the most amazing walk I have ever seen.
This dress from Oscar’s resort show was my favorite piece, I call it the “if Marilyn were alive” dress.
Thank you Erika for your kind words and unwavering support, you are so good to me. xo
once upon a time I met Jamie Beck. Last September she took this picture of me at FNO from outside of our boutique on Madison avenue. There is just something about her photos, you know? For me it’s like they make me hold my breath for just a second. At our Resort show last month, Jamie graciously agreed to take pictures. Here, the first I will post & most definitely not the last. Jamie, we love you, & thank you.
