We always say that Labor Day to Halloween disappears. This year was no exception. We were just preparing for September fashion week, and suddenly there are Christmas decorations out.
This trip to Paris was brief, but wonderful; in part because our mom and brother joined us at the tail end so we could journey onto Morocco together (more on that to come). It was a quick few days filled with visits to our showroom, lunch dates with friends and buyers, and of course a stop in Le Bon Marche where we checked out our latest pieces (such a thrill!) and delighted in the Benessee Art House installation.
