bubble palace

we lost Pierre Cardin last week at the age of 98, a pioneering designer with a futuristic sensibility toward fashion and life...

he was a designer who favored circles, and bubbles, in his creations.

at one point in his life, he bought a famous home, Palais Boules, in Cannes....

a Dior Resort show was staged there as recently as 2016....

it was ten years ago in October, here in NYC, that i attended his 60th anniversary book signing and fashion show, and wrote about it on my then brand new blog.

not that Monsieur Cardin would likely favor looking back but after my morning walk today past the woman in her big puff of faux fur hat, past the rows of clear plastic outdoor dining pods at a popular local French cafe (our own makeshift bubble palace?), i was inspired to re-read and re-experience Cardin's inventive genius for just one fashion forward minute.... https://fashion-is-love-nyc.blogspot.com/2010/11/its-witchcraft.html

white at night

just a little shout out to designer Misha Nonoo, who had opened her first permanent boutique on Hudson Street when the pandemic reached New York.

her store is not only a safe haven for sustainable fashion but a laboratory of inspiration and ideas for women, by women, hosting almost weekly salon style gatherings of makers, panelists and other collaborators celebrating women empowerment.

so looking forward to returning to Misha's atelier in brighter days!
in the meantime, she is staying apart together through social media and her website, with thoughtful content for mind, soul and wardrobe!

stay home! stay safe!
