Judging at the OTIS School of Art and Design’s/ Fashion School annual senior and junior jury show is always an honor. The work this year was fabulous! There are just not enough events in L.A. that bring the design community together in support of our emerging new talent, so this is a wonderful event!

Special thanks to Rose Brantley, Sheri Mobley (of Mobley Marketing), Bob Mackie (pictured with us here), Ame Max, Liz Goldwyn, David Meister, Booth Moore, Veronica Fernandez, Sandy Oh, Sally Daliege, Ana Kenney…as well as the many others who worked with these talented student designers over the past year!

The Borlenghi family has been active in real estate development in the United States, Europe and South America for several generations.  [...]]]> Houston’s Cathy Borlenghi is at the top of our list of dear clients and most respected human beings.  She and her husband, Giorgio, are not only a beautiful, sophisticated couple, they are a deeply caring husband-and-wife partnership who are tireless in their commitment to community, educational and philanthropic activities, both in the United States and in their native Italy.

The Borlenghi family has been active in real estate development in the United States, Europe and South America for several generations.  Among their many projects is Houston’s beautiful Hotel GRANDUCA, our beloved “home away from home”, and where we show our MAGID BERNARD collection each season.

Cathy’s natural sense of elegance and style makes her a joy to dress, and we have been fortunate to be her chosen designer for many of her public and private appearances.

Cathy chose our full-length, “Monet” gown for the University of St. Thomas 2012 Mardi Gras gala.   It is made of imported silk charmeuse, with a draped neckline and beading and fully lined in hot pink silk charmeuse.  All made to measure.

The University of St. Thomas is but one of the many schools, colleges and universities that the Borlenghi’s support. Giorgio is a past member of its board of directors, in 2000, he and Cathy chaired its Mardi Gras gala, and were honored by the University in 2004.

We are so honored to know them!

Nashville is one of our favorite towns, and it has such a fresh, vibrant fashion scene.  As a Southerner myself, I can attest to the fact that Southern women love to dress and really know how to do it [...]]]> We are just  home from our Trunk Show at JAMIE Nashville, and we’re heading back again to participate in Nashville Fashion Week! Our runway show will be part of the grand finale on Saturday, March 24th at the Pinnacle at Symphony Place!!!

Nashville is one of our favorite towns, and it has such a fresh, vibrant fashion scene.  As a Southerner myself, I can attest to the fact that Southern women love to dress and really know how to do it in style!  We love this community….its warm hospitality,  genuine graciousness, and support of the established fashion community as well as emerging new designers.  See you all on the runway!  ~ Michele
