The ever-lovely Vanessa from Next Door Style did a little video blog of the show opening last night. Kris Krug interviews grace-gallery director Rachel Zottenberg and I during the opening last night.
Shallom from Stylefinds just wrote a lovely little piece on the larry. show at grace gallery, which goes down at 8pm on Thursday January 8. It will be super good times, and you’re invited. It’s free, there will be adult beverages for sale, and plus the pieces will be on the wall begging to be touched!Â
“Ever since Terri started making these scarves, I’ve been coveting a larry. for my very own. This week, I and many others will have a chance to get our hands on all of Terri’s current designs, as well as one brand new scarf that was designed specifically for this exhibit. “I’m incredibly excited for the show”, Terri says with a huge smile. “I’ve never done anything like it before, and am thrilled to be working with Rachel on this. Collaborating with her on ‘The Gracey,’ the custom piece I made for the show, was lots of fun.”
That’s just a snippet of Shallom’s piece, read the rest here and see you tomorrow night!

Yep that’s right kids – I am teaming up with Shallom from Stylefinds and Mr. Kris Krug (you’ve seen his photos splashed all over The Conveyor Belt, in addition to magazines, websites, the world) to cover the events at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in NY in February.
We’ve already secured office space for the week at East Media, just blocks away from Bryant Park. Place for us to work = daily coverage of fashion shows and our silly antics in the big city.
Watch out for lots of cool developments in the coming month leading up to our adventure. You can keep track of our daily plans for NYFW by following us on Twitter – really, we can hardly shut up about it.
What a most wonderful Christmas present! My lady Kim Cathers made me this leather clutch as a Christmas gift. She’s off on Galiano island loving life but trudged through the snow and ferries for a holiday visit.
She created this clutch by shaping the leather around a rock. So it has the perfect little pouch that’s just big enough for my iPhone, some cards and cash, and lip gloss. All the necessities.
Yet another rumour out of the celebrity designer mill, this time concerning troubled singer Amy Winehouse and a possible collaboration with designer Fred Perry:
According to the tabloids, the Rehab singer let slip during a festive holiday that she is currently in negotiations with iconic British label Fred Perry and has already started sketching out a few of her ideas.

My jaw dropped at first, too, but could Winehouse actually have something valuable to contribute to the fashion world? A number of people seem to think so: Karl Lagerfeld built upon the Winehouse style for the Paris-Londres Metiers d’Art Chanel collection in 2007; cobbler Jonathan Kelsey crafted the ‘Amy’ stiletto in her name; and Roberto Cavalli declared the singer a fashion icon due to her unique look. Um, yeah…a 2-foot high beehive is unique, that’s for certain.
Let’s just hope the Winehouse coiff doesn’t become one of the emblematic features of this forthcoming collection.
French fashion designer Ted Lapidus died this week from respitatory failure, a complication suffered as a result of leukemia, at the age of 79.
Lapidus made a name for himself throughout the 60’s and 70’s with his safari-hued military suits for women and well-fitted garments for men. He became renowned for his ability to apply haute couture concepts toward ready-to-wear clothing that was affordable for younger men and women.
After an apprenticeship with Dior, he started his own fashion house in 1951. In 1958 he opened the Ted Lapidus boutique on the Rue Marbeuf. In 1963, he created a near scandal in the world of haute couture by forming a partnership with the manufacturer Belle Jardinière, which mass-produced his designs and sold them at its 250 budget-priced stores in France. Regardless, that year he was admitted to the official French couture association.

Lapidus was one of the pioneers of the boutique, and opened his New York storefront right across from Bloomingdale’s in the 70’s. The designer was dubbed “the poet of French couture” and was popular among celebrities of the day, including Brigitte Bardot and The Beatles.
Paying homage to Lapidus, President Nicolas Sarkozy was moved to declare that the designer had “democratised French elegance and classicism” and “made fashion accessible to men and women in the street”.
