Darlys Michaelis, director of fashion styling at Neiman Marcus, converted a small room of her home into a walk-in closet. What makes this the ideal closet, according to Darlys:
-Items organized light to dark, and short to long.
-Shoes grouped by style, then color.
-Good lighting and light color on the walls.
-The hangers match and face the same way.
-A full length mirror.
-A place to sit.

A former assistant to Anna Wintour, Swanson Frank dove into photography full time last year, on the encouragement of her friends and Vogue colleagues Lauren Santo Domingo and Ivan Shaw.

Eddie Borgo: Providence & Punk
Eddie Borgo’s jewelry gives the impression that the designer is a creature of city streets, a downtown kid, a New Yorker. And Borgo is those things. But given the chance, he’ll talk your ear off about the genteel metalsmithing tradition of Providence, Rhode Island, where he produces his eponymous jewelry line, and how it boomed into a center of costume jewelry manufacturing.
“Providence in the Sixties and Seventies was producing Chanel costume, Christian Dior costume, Pierre Cardin, Napier, Trifari. It was considered the costume jewelry capital of the world,” says Borgo.
The way things are going for Borgo, he may write a new chapter in the saga of American costume jewelry.

You’ve Come A Long Way, Rebecca Taylor

New Zealand-born designer Rebecca Taylor visited Dallas to present her girly, Seventies-infused spring and summer collections at Neiman Marcus NorthPark. NMdaily sat down with the warm and chatty Kiwi to discuss the inspiration for her collections and embracing the feminine. Throngs of women roamed the floor in Taylor’s signature flowing dresses. The gracious designer even signed a copy of the coffee-table book, American Fashion Designers at Home, which features her and her young family in their stylish New York apartment.
NM: What was your inspiration for your spring/summer collection?
RT: I really love that concept of the Charlie girl from the Seventies. She’s not a hippie, not bohemian; she’s very stylish and confident and career-oriented and sexy and smart. It was really the beginning of women’s lib and that’s what I grew up with… All my cousins were like that, my mum was like that. The flared trousers, the high waisted pants, the silk blouses, the gold hoop earrings.
