Fab Invite: Press for Couture Fashion Week

-
Last February I've been invited to cover NY Couture Fashion Week, which many people [who are not the prominent residents of the fashion world] confuse with The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week...

 
Yes, it's no more different than MBFW, same podium, same press buzz, same backstage craziness, same fashionably-aware and late crowd, but perhaps less celebrities in attendance and...the runaway designers and their collections are less known to the world - but does not mean less talented - and they represent a rather eclectic wordly group. Most of the designers are - foreign, from exotic countries, less of French/Italian/Japanese/British kind of imports...

Got another invite...Exciting!
Nevertheless, I've had quite a great time [aside from the wait time in between the shows that - I used wisely - typing away and sending emails to my editor with the texts and photos]...


Here are just a few of the shots from last February...with some of these designers I'll be reconnecting this week. With some I'm planning to start a new long-term visually-appealing friendship. Got to do what I've got to do...

Last year I called my New Year blog - my new year resolutions, but aren't we a bit tired of making the resolutions that we don't seem to be able to keep? So, this year, instead of talking about how I'd lithe to be better, more productive, more attentive to my family matters, healthier, active, bla bla bla, I'd like to talk about how lucky some of us are who have someone special and dear to have celebrated the coming of the new year, when some people out there - don't... I'm lucky and I know it but it wasn't always the same.

Asparagus Gratine: The Asparagus Way Into The German's Heart

-

For Germans the  Spargelzeit , or the white asparagus season, is an eagerly anticipated sign of spring. Depending on the weather, the season for asparagus begins some time in April and lasts until St. John the Baptist’s feast day June 24, and during this time the country is gripped by ‘Asparagus Fever’. From seasonal asparagus dishes to the white asparagus queen award - there's quite a bit of the history that goes back as far as the Greek and Romans... "Asparagus Gratine" seasonal dish at the Knochenhauer restaurant in Hildesheim, Lower Saxony: served with the potato pancake, ham and Hollandaise sauce. Having spent quite some time in Germany during the pick of the season, I've learned a lot about the history and tradition of the white asparagus season. Read here to find out why Germans call white asparagus "white gold".
