CURIOUSER NEW YORK

The Hyeres Festival, 2010 I thought I'd share a post by one of my favorites, Cathy Horyn, the fashion columnist at the New York Times. This is something for the aspiring designers and photographers who are trying to break in. The International Festival of Fashion and Photography takes place each spring at the Villa Noailles near Hyeres, in the south of France. Viktor & Rolf and Romain Kremer are among the designers who participated in the competition. Jury leaders have included Martin Margiela, Azzedine Alaia, Raf Simons and Hussein Chalayan. The Hyeres Festival is an excellent way for emerging designers and photographers to get some recognition. The deadline for applications for the spring 2012 festival is Dec. 5. So apply!

I just love, love, love Robert Verdi . His makes me want to dress better :)... So, you can imagine how excited I was to sit across him at Naeem Khan show @ Lincoln Center. He was dress in all black, very simple, very chic - a black turtleneck, black fit pants [fit as in "European men fit" jeans, as I like it on a man], black shoes, black jacket and big [statement] silver watch. Yes - I did zoom my camera on him...
