Near Ginza

I ran into this gorgeous woman on the way to the premiere of The Advanced Style Documentary in Tokyo today. I'm in Japan for the release of the film and an exhibition of my work which will be held, in Kobe, at Sogo department store June 4th. I'll be signing books and taking photos all day, so stop by and say hello if you are nearby. For more information on the exhibition CLICK HERE.

Dressing Up To Walk The Dog

When I saw this woman walking on the Upper West Side I was reminded of what my grandmother used to tell me. Everyday she would get up, comb her hair, put on some lipstick and tell us," You must always greet the world by looking your best. You never know who you will run into while walking the dog or fetching the mail."

Saramai in New York

Sarah wears her brand new Jeremy Scott for Adidas Sneakers

My dear friend, Sarah Jane A.KA. Saramai has been spending the last few weeks in New York, in celebration of her 60th birthday. We first me in Sydney after her daughter tagged me in a photo of Sarah from her instagram page and I have been following her adventures ever since. I was thrilled to hear that she would be coming to visit America for  the first time and that New York would be her first stop. Samarai is one of the loveliest, boldest, and most outspoken women that I have ever met(Check out a post she wrote about being proud of your stripes HERE.) She is off to Philadelphia before heading on a road trip out west. Make sure to follow her adventures HERE.

Jacky O'Shaughnessy

I finally had the chance to meet model and actress, Jacky O'Shaughnessy. Jacky's career took off when she was discovered in a cafe in New York City a few years ago, leading to several campaigns for American Apparel. We had a wonderful afternoon chatting about her burgeoning career in fashion and I can't wait to see what she will do next!

Hat and Gloves

Every time I see a woman in a hat and gloves I am reminded of my wonderful grandmother Bluma.

Hearts On The Upper West Side

Derrill Osborn

Lina and I went down to Dallas to film my style icon, Derrill Osborn, for a special new project. Derrill is one of the most kind and gracious people I have ever met. I hope to one day be half as stylish, sophisticated, vital, witty, and wise as this wonderful gentleman.

Prime Time: MoMA's Older Adult Program Initiative Launches This Saturday

Ever since my mom gave me my first Claude Monet book, I have been obsessed with going to museums. I have always loved getting lost in the galleries, people watching and meditating upon an inspired work. When The Museum of Modern Art asked me to help launch Prime Time, their brand new programming and outreach initiative aimed to engage older New Yorkers at the Museum, in the community, and online, I was absolutely thrilled. To kick off the initiative, MoMA is offering all visitors ages 65 and up free admission on Saturday, May 9, from 10:30 a.m to 5:30 p.m.

The day will also feature free gallery talks, entertainment and art making workshops, including a jewelry making workshop led by Debra Rapoport and a live figure drawing session featuring Joyce Carpati, Lana Turner, Debra and Carol Markel. The museum is also offering NYC residents 65 and up 50% off admission and $25 off new annual memberships for the the month of May!

The ladies are planning their outfits as we speak, so grab all your friends 65 and up and head to MoMA on Saturday for an inspiring day of creative activities.
