You never know how people and experiences will circle back around in life.

Case in point, one of my great interns from the past recently got married in New York City and we got to design her wedding veil.

Molly Carey and Alexander Schaul’s wedding at the Gramercy Park Hotel here in the city looks pretty chic to me!

Shout out to *Paris*

The lovely Pascal, a dear French friend residing in Paris, stopped by the NYC studio for a fun surprise visit!

A big hello to all my Paris friends!

So look at this article I found today:

In Paris, hats are back on top

Suddenly, young Parisians are wearing old-fashioned hats, from fedoras to berets.

But really this is the stuff that fuels our fantasies: In Paris at the end of the month it’s Haute Couture time  = a magical 4 days.

A fantastic testimonial from a fantastic woman and wonderful artist.

Abbie sent a shout out to her friends and cc’d me:

“I was so tickled by my millinery confection that I wore at my reception in May that I decided to paint it. viola! I have also managed to find other reasons to wear it again. OH, I love it so.

Leah Chalfen makes the most beautiful fun gorgeous things to put on your head. In addition to being lovely herself!
It needed it’s portrait painted!”

Thank you Abbie, you reiterate the fact that Leah C. Couture Millinery maintains the best clientele the world has to offer.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL! Health & prosperity in 2010!

All my best, Leah
