Here is a fun picture of me posing with CFDA Lifetime Achievement Award Winner - and "Project Runway" judge! - Michael Kors.
Michael is such a sweetheart... I love him! Then again, you know that I have a penchant for men named Michael ;-)
Funny enough, I was his fit model back in 1982. Back in those days, Michael had a small, beautiful design studio on 29th Street. I freelanced and came to fittings for cashmere sweaters (my first one was MK) and fitted, strapless black dresses. Those were fun times in NYC!
We reconnected again at Neiman Marcus' 100th Birthday in Dallas, where the amazing party was held and many of the Neiman's featured designers were present. Designers such as Judith Ripka, Manolo Blahnik, and Zac Posen. The night was a spectacular feast for the senses - food, music, and a different theme on every floor! It was a glamorous night, and Michael and I chatted most about our mutual love of exotic skins and textures (especially crocodile from Russian customers). We had such a blast reminiscing about the fun days of New York, and snapped a few cute shots (including this one!). I am personally a huge fan of MK - to this day, I LOVE his classic twist on American sportswear. His yummy 4-ply cashmeres are still the absolute best!
This is a great shot of us...... enjoy!
Xo, G
