The sun is finally out today – it was such a rainy September, I’m hoping we’ll have better weather in October to enjoy the turning of the leaves. Speaking of autumn…I recently printed these wedding party invitations. The couple sent me gorgeous tree photos from a trip to Kyoto, all of them wildly colorful. So [...]

For the past week or so I’ve had my head down in the studio, working hard on a new collection and gathering my thoughts on the coming season. I always get reflective and analytical at the change of the seasons, usually taking stock of where I am in the business and how things look going [...]
