Yesterday was Easter and, I have to admit, I feel a bit like I'm rising from the dead. They say, after a caterpillar spins its cocoon, it's body becomes a sort of DNA soup. It sort of dies to being a caterpillar, in order to become a butterfly. Well, the past few months, I've been "in the soup".
Poppet closed it's doors in the East Village in early March. The time leading up to that, and the month since then, have certainly been eventful.
First, Poppet and I appeared on Italian TV at the beginning of February.
Then, the day after I closed the store in March, I got a message from a friend on Facebook asking if I could do some freelance costuming work on "Did You Hear About the Morgans? , a film starring Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. My work on that has consisted primarily of fluffing the background and stunt actors as we spent nights outside with rain towers, but I must say that costume designer Chris Peterson , has got SJP looking fine in Dior, Prada, et al. and Hugh sports custom-made Tom Ford.
Other than that, I've been arranging my private atelier, which I will open for private appointments soon, listing new goodies online, and preparing for the Manhattan Vintage Clothing Show (April 24th and 25th) and the Sturbridge Antique Textiles and Vintage Fashions Show & Sale (May 11). More on those soon.
Happy Spring! Time to rise above the madding crowd and soar...
