My recent visit to a Marfa Stance trunk show got me thinking about trunk shows, which got me thinking about my profile of Bill Blass, which I wrote for the New Yorker in 1993.
What a beautiful post. I feel so much better about that $800.00 I spent in 1995, Niemann Marcus, Dallas. Tabacco riding jacket, wool crepe, designed by Richard Tyler in his brief time at Anne Klein. . Looks brand new. I did have it relined in Chinatown, San Francisco about fifteen years ago. Love your writing!
As a fashion journalist for what used to be known as a "major metropolitan daily," I attended and wrote about more trunk shows than I can count, but never captured the players a fraction as well as this wonderful piece. Thank you for resharing it. Also, if you ever regretted not getting that Richard Tyler jacket, make up for it with a piece from Marfa Stance!!
