THIS PHOTO IS AN OLDIE BUT A GOODIE. I TOOK IT OUTSIDE THE RODNIK SHOW AND IT WAS THE FIRST TIME KATE AND I HAD EXCHANGED MORE THAN A FEW WORDS. SHE ASKED ME IF I WAS A DANCER FROM THE WAY I GRACEFULLY STOOD AND TOOK HER PHOTO. I THOUGHT THAT WAS RIDICULOUSLY FUNNY CONSIDERING IF YOU EVER SAW ME IN PERSON TAKING PHOTOS YOU’D THINK THE TOTAL OPPOSITE. ANYWAY, I WAS JUST DIGGING KATE’S OBSESSION WITH STUDDED SHOES AND BAGS AT THE TIME

I’M VERY FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO CALL RAD HOURANI A FRIEND. TO SEE HOW HE’S PROGRESSED FROM AN EMERGING STYLIST IN MONTREAL TO AN INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER ON THE RISE IS QUITE REMARKABLE. I WAS DISAPPOINTED I COULDN’T MAKE IT TO HIS SHOW IN NEW YORK DUE TO A FLIGHT TO LONDON, BUT I DID MANAGE TO MAKE A VISIT TO HIS SHOWROOM IN PARIS. I WAS COMPLETELY FLOORED WHEN I SAW HOW METICULOUS AND WELL CONSTRUCTED HIS S/S 09 COLLECTION WAS. IF THERE WAS ONE COLLECTION I COULD OWN AS A WHOLE, IT WOULD BE HIS. IT IS THE ESSENTIAL WARDROBE FOR ANY MAN OR WOMAN WHO LOVES TO WEAR BLACK. HE IS A GENIUS!
