Ladies and Gents,

I've been hard at work shooting my upcoming Spring/Summer 2011 collection that will debut during fashion week and Capsule Trade show this September. Developing this collection over the past few months has been endlessly inspiring, and no matter how exhausting it's been or how fearful I've felt at times, I know that I wouldn't prefer doing anything else at this moment.

I am extremely lucky to have been working closely with my friend Dan Estabrook on the planning and execution of my S/S11 lookbook shoot. He's been incredibly inspiring to work with and has an excellent back to lean on whenever in doubt. It's endlessly refreshing to work along side someone who shows so much confidence in my work, and pushes it to its greatest potential.

If you're not familiar with Dan's work already, let me guide you towards a most valuable google search. I know, no matter what amount of gibberish I could possibly muster up to describe this man's intimate body of work and clever usage of 19th century photographic techniques, it could never do justice to what one can discover on their own via a journey through Dan's chilling online portfolio, rants and inspirations.

Without further adieu, I've pulled a few of my favorites from Night and Day, Nine Symptoms and some commercial work that you may have seen floating round the net.

Dan should be the talk of the town, everyday.

{Stroll Through Argentina}

I realized I that I hadn't posted my pictures from last years journey down to South America. Samantha Pleet's family was kind enough to ask me to accompany them on their travels through Argentina and Uruguay. Have any of you ever been?

I miss the old city of Buenos Aires, the spanish colonial architecture and fantastic antique shops filled with lacey blouses and old cameras (especially Gil Antiguedades for it's impressively maintained basement of art deco inspired wedding gowns and french feathered headpieces). I miss the rustic estancias in Uruguay and the meals shared that lasted hours. Ah! How quickly the honey grappa was consumed!

Those South American days were spent horse back riding through Eucalyptus forests after enjoying naked outdoor showers and canoeing down snake rivers. Time was well spent sipping on goblets of red wine wrapped in winter scarf overlooking the Rio De La Plata.

A few weeks back, my friends Rachel, Margaret and I (as seen in the photo above), as the NY Post would say, "got our Gatsby on", at the Jazz age lawn party on Governor's Island. The Post kindly mentioned me as a source for finding flapper-dapper fashions in the NYC area and beyond! Get your Gatsby on for yourself, with a little assistance from the lawn party's choice St. Germain cocktail, when the event is held again on the 28th and 29th of August ; )

I'm wearing my Let Them Eat Meringue pleated dress, now on sale here!
