“We just have to make things better and more beautiful.” —Nanette Lepore when asked about the recession.
Well said, Lepore. I have loved this beautiful gypsy woman since her ex-boyfriend series in 2002 which had the names of all of her exes scrolled in beautiful calligraphy all over beautiful silk fabric draped into blouses, skirts, camis, dresses…. I was told she said then it was to remind herself that although they were a part of the fabric of her life, they (the men, the relationships, the breakups, the heartache) were part of her story but not the end of it. Together with many of her other life experiences, she channels them coupled with all of her emotion and passion into creating and making beautiful things - her one true love. Her clothes aren’t always my style (I’m edgy somewhat, right???) but she is a true class act.
