Mignon Faget is a New Orleans based jewelry designer. One of her locations happens to be on Magazine street as well. She has fantastic simple designs, mostly in plain silver and gold. Some of her pieces are inspired by its origins in New Orleans, such as the fleur de lis designs featured above. Be sure to check it out on her online site: http://www.mignonfaget.com
Let me begin by apologizing for not posting recently. I was on a whirlwind family vacation. I started by flying home to Atlanta, then we all packed up and went to my birthplace, New Orleans. It had been two years since I'd been back, and it was as full of character as ever. One of my favorite streets to shop on and one that you should definitely stop by if you're visiting, is Magazine Street. Filled with quaint antique stores and galleries, it is definitely a unique place to shop. 
These three dapper boys were joining me at the Joyce Theatre in Chelsea to view Benjamin Millipied's new work. Nico Muhly (left), happens to be a musical prodigy. He created the score for Millipied's From Here on Out for ABT and currently created the entire score for Kate Winslet's new film, The Reader. 
I have to say, I dig Twyla's style... She keeps it simple on an everyday basis: her uniform consisting of gap blue jeans, a crisp white shirt, and sneakers. Today, however she snazzed it up and put on a pair of balck cowboy boots with this little prairie skirt.
I had the pleasure of meeting Nancy Sinatra today at Twyla's showing of her new Sinatra production. Frank Sinatra is one of the most impeccably dressed style icons I can think of. He was the epitome of effortlessly cool. 
Today, Twyla Tharp held a showing of her new production in the works that I am currently involved in. Norma Kamali, fashion designer, was in attendance. Kamali and Twyla have had a long standing relationship, beginning with one of her iconic pieces, The Upper Room, which Kamali designed the costumes for. Last year I was lucky enough to be involved in another of her works, Rabbit and Rogue. Kamali's costumes for it were fantastic. My favorite of them all was this fantastic ruched 40s inspired leotard. Hopefully, she will be designing again for this new production!
