From my personal life, to the growth of my own style, to the present in my professional life as an artist and designer. My earliest memories of scarves […]
There’s something pink in the air. Literally, it’s the cherry blossoms outside my Studio window, these ephemeral blooms that reach their apex in early March. But there’s something else: a creative energy is populating the world with pink. Perhaps the most global is the recent Fall Winter 2022/2023 Valentino show at the recent Paris Fashion […]
