Defining Moments...

OK, I get it. I can not expect every one out there to have the same fashionable knowledge that I do. Its OK that that you don't know who owns Fendi, Marc Jacobs, Tag Heuer, Donna Karan, Dior, Pucci, Louis Vuitton, Givenchy and many more. By the way it is in fact the LVMH group, headed up by Bernard Arnault par Tyen. Born in Rubaix, France; a commune in the Nord department located norther and blah blah blah...see now I have lost you. Absolutely boning right? I don't know how I retain this information... but I do. Occasionally I will let it slip from time to time and get caught off guard that I have said something way over someones head. In this case it was a client of ours, Christie.
While Christie and I were our shopping one day, I said," Ohh I am loving this floral top, the colors are very Cruise!" I then received one thing from her, a blank stare. Not because she hatted the top, it was actually adorable Ella Moss and yea, she bought it. It was the verbage that I had used. Leading her to follow through with, "What in the hell is 'cruise' Ty? I am not going on vacation until May, and even then we are not taking a large ship." "No doll! 'Cruise' is what the designers come out with before Spring| Summer launch!"
That conversation behind us I realized that even my well read clients sometimes need a cheat sheet of quick bits. Below you will find such a treasure, as well as a few of my favorite reads that will further broaden your fashion horizon. All of these jems can be found at amazon.comand all between $9.95 and 34.95!
