Generous as we become to our clients, we too are entitled to treat ourselves. Deserving of quality and comfort, the work of interior designers and architects is anything short of stressful. Our busy lives leave us wondering how other
women on the streets of Manhattan seem so “put together”. The secret must be a great shopping trip to Carlisle because, at onset, we are greeted by charming ladies and flutes of champagne. The polished professionals offer more than a dress and a twin set. This experience is meant to educate meanwhile relax you to find outfits for both boardroom meetings ( among us busy traveling executives ), and trips to the Bahamas.

The decision to throw our event at this venue was so we could bridge the gap
between our groups needs and possible business deals at the Carlisle. Attendees
included Vyna of VSP Design, among New York Social Diary shutterbug and bloggett:

Meanwhile other conversations were thrilling our shoppers while engaged in
plenty of conversations with Sandra Oster of Decorating Tag Sale. Politico Susan
Kone made friendly with Mike, the only male attendee ( relax he was here on
business -as Lana’s assistant ).

As the fashion week comes to close here in New York City, we recap the highlights. Sometimes we were excited at what we saw as the future of fashion and sometimes not so much. With years in fashion and luxury branding, I think it is fitting to talk about the spirit of fashion, interior design and architecture. Quickly marching out of the W Hotel’s Mercedes Benz Global Glam last week, I couldn’t put words to the fashion offerings. I praised the concept
and appreciate the notion behind architecture and fashion. But, barely there and mere party dresses were less impressive than the room itself. Although, with all respects, it seemed forgettable and devastating.

Maybe the judge is subjective, fashion mirrors architecture and vice versa. Good transitional architect successes include Viktor and Rolf and Derek Lam. Both designers are skilled craftsmen, thus, making their division in structural and polished frocks contemporary and lend to the cultural landscapes of our cities and streets. Clearly much more than hyped designs by a luxury hotel, such should take a note.

As interior design experts, most of you draw inspiration and approach color and texture through fashion. And that is why we are excited that we found the perfect venue for our next BiTTTnyc meeting at the Carlisle. They make no mistake in their approach to style each client in a pampered setting. Legendary deals are made in a thrilling shopping experience along a beautifully decorated interior. At the Carlisle, the showcase is about exquisitely designed clothing and accessories. So, we will be raffling gift certificates to perhaps inspire you to fashion in their wears and bring your clients back. After all, leaders in design need a safe and luxurious place for themselves as well. Our effortless styles should be just that, look effortless yet chic. And, in art, design and architecture, stylists and editors, all taste makers cater to their audiences. Guest speaker of New York Social Diary agrees that fashion has not forgotten elegance.
Hence, where the polish has not worn off yet includes Vera Wang, Oscar De LaRenta and Carolina Herrera. My personal favorite young stars include Prabal Gurung.
