K. Cooper Ray abandoned the bi-coastal life he led as Vice President at Bottega Veneta and now calls Charleston, South Carolina, his home. He remains an important fixture on the New York and Los Angeles social scenes. He positively adores Charleston with its emphasis on proper decorum and how the majority of men there aren’t afraid to experiment with color. We had a lovely conversation about how manners still play an important role within Southern culture. Not many of you know this, but as a teenager in Fayetteville, Arkansas, I attended Junior Cotillion classes several times a year where I learned proper social etiquette and ballroom dancing.
On another note Mimi’s handbag is the new Reed Krakoff tote bag, which you can purchase here. I was a tad bit skeptical at first, but Mr. Krakoff’s pieces are slowly winning me over.
This weekend I spent most of my time street-style hunting in Wicker Park. I’ve been neglecting this neighborhood as of late, which is totally unforgivable, so yesterday and Saturday I tried my best to make amends to the hub of youth culture and fashion in Chicago. As I hung out around the intersection of North and Damen, Lynde was an easy choice for me. I knew her tall stature and on-trend purple denim shorts would make for a stunning photograph.
