So we’re in this new fashion vortex where the long skirt has made it’s way back onto trend setters but it has also got me thinking. Lately I’ve been all about touting the designers who I believe have longevity. I’ve been asked several times to name ‘hot’ ‘young’ ‘up and coming’ designers and you know […]
Kara Ross’s Ipad holder I found the chicest ipad holder at Kara Ross during fashion week. I was lucky to get some one on one time with the designer. This is one of the items that blew me away. She used amazing skins and custom cut precious stones. Bergdorfs carries her line. More info here. […]
I’ve realized based on recent phone calls and inquiries that there is some widespread confusion around the word “FASHION STYLIST.” Part of the issue stems from the fact that many stylists (as naturally creative people) are also fashion designers. And, some fashion designers, like Tom Ford, were actually just really good stylists. Some clarity would […]
Went to view Sergio’s new collection for Celestino Couture and was met with a reality tv camera crew. Very common these days but still kinda exciting. The new collection had me super excited. Sergio is a very talented young designer who deserves way more press and fan fare. I’ve know him for a couple years […]
Another day another interview. So many times with journalists the piece doesn’t ever see the computer screen or the light of day. This one about Tucker for Target though came out the day after I emailed. Talk about fast press! Here’s the link http://money.cnn.com/2010/09/10/pf/target_tucker_gaby_basora/index.htm
Despite having just recovered half of my voice I get interviewed by the charming and fabulous Elaine Mensah of SVELTE TV and Fashion BS. I could smooze with her for ages and I know we are due for a radio interview…
Betty Draper, Blaire Waldorf, and Brie Vandycamp would all give this show a standing ovation. I was in a heaven frothy goodness. They were the dresses I dreamed about for the proms/balls I never attended in the 50’s. (I’m such an old fashioned girl at heart but you knew that). I love the lightness and […]
I always feel way ahead of the curve but this time it feels right on time. Super stylishly happy with my Athenian Ioanna Kourbella jumpsuit I jump right into Fashion Week in New York and see that this trend is really taking off. I saw it on fashion show attendee’s, on the runway at Ports1961 and […]
Grace Kelly Exhibit at the V&A All hype and no delivery. Where is the famous lace wedding gown from when she married Prince Ranier? The elaborate costumes from To Catch a Thief? Not in the show? Are they caught up in some estate dispute? They had her very subtle ensembles which she wore to the […]
KONG The fashion label Kenzo opened Kong restaurant in Paris-no wonder it’s so chic! Dome shaped glass penthouse dining room feels almost as if one was in a space ship from Star Wars. I was brought there by my ‘french lobster’ friend from Paris. I think the Parisians wouldn’t dare visit this place but with […]
She helped me create not just outfits but a style statement for how I go out in the world in the morning. She’s given me a new sense of confidence, especially when I go to professional meetings
