Reliving Fall 2011

Fall is SO CLOSE I can taste it!
In honor of this glorious occasion I decided to post a few photos of my favorite Italian menswear line "Canali" for F/W11.

I don't usually go for futuristic, but this is really amazing. The ambiance, the silhouettes, & the drapery.... clearly, Prada. The best part:: Miuccia Prada quietly steps out at the end and retreats backstage... the mark of a true designer.. one that lets her work shine while she remains behind the scenes. This is why Milan trumps all.

Today I found out the program I've been vigorously working on for months is the first international program we've ever had in our division....... today was long, but a really, really wonderful day.

It's nights like tonight when clouds fill the sky, that I'm thankful to look out my window & see city lights that resemble stars. Some nights, you just need the stars.

I've always been fascinated by stars. I find it interesting that they're always there.. whether you can see them or not. I learn a little more everyday that the best things in life are like that. People, things, ideas, innovation, stories in books, music... all of these things are around us everyday.. they exist.. but we don't always see them. Even good friends whom I've known all of my life.. some I don't see often, but I know all I have to do is pick up the phone and they will be there.
I also love the idea that you can see stars from every area of the world. I'm looking at the same sky as New Yorkers.. Parisians... Italians... it's one of the few ties that bind us all together. Sometimes I have to remind myself that there's a world out there.. a huge world full of billions of people. Another thing I'm fascinated by is the people we meet in this huge world... who, how, when, etc. You have to wonder if we were meant to know each other, or if it was an accident.... Sometimes I feel like it was a Godsend.
