Fashion designer Adam Lippes' collection in full flower - San Francisco Chronicle
Friday, December 04, 2015We reshot it, then printed it on silks, crepes and cashmere.Q: What do women most commonly ask you at trunk shows? A: “What’s your favorite piece?” That’s a hard one because if it wasn’t my favorite piece it wouldn’t be there. What I take that to mean now is: “What’s your favorite piece for me?”Q: Are there any eternal lessons you carry with you from your eight years working with Oscar de la Renta?A: As you can see, my style is very, very different from Oscar’s, but from him I learned about quality, luxury, fit and that our goal is for a woman to try something on and smile. There’s also nothing wrong with the word “pretty”; it’s not a four-letter word. I didn’t go to fashion school; I studied psychology at Cornell and worked in investment banking first. I learned everything from University de la Renta.Q: How did you find your way to fashion from psychology and investment banking?A: I studied art history in Paris for a year. I grew up in Buffalo, N.Y., which is not exactly the capital of fashion. I’d always wanted to be a designer but I came from a family of doctors and lawyer and it didn’t seem in the realm. When I was in Paris, I saw fashion really was an entire world. I was working at Bear Stearns at the time and I quit and ended up working at the Polo Ralph Lauren store for a year just to get my foot in the door, assisting the store manager. When she left and went to Oscar, I went with her. I wound up as a creative director there at 26.Q: Are there any artists you revisit for inspiration?A: Midcentury American is probably one of my biggest (inspirations) — from Agnes Martin, who was the inspiration for one of my last collections, to Rothko to Alexander Katz. Portraiture of all eras is very big for me, especially German portraiture. I like moody art, things you can get lost in. Art is the most personal thing you can have in your house, so you want things you can live with.Tony Bravo is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.

'Essential' businesses: Florists, boat sellers and toy makers - The Daily Herald
Sunday, January 17, 2021Some not mentioned in the list have come up with their own interpretations. Do florists delivering flowers qualify as “agriculture”? Washington Floral Service, a wholesale firm with warehouses in Tacoma and Spokane, applied for and received a state exemption, Chris Berglund, a company vice president, told The Herald. “We’re essential,” Berglund said. Many of his customers — retail florists — are also seeking exemptions. “From what we’re hearing, it’s a 50-50 split on whether florists are getting an exemption,” Berglund said. “It seems to depend on whether they say they’re a flower shop or agriculture.” “If you can do a food delivery, you can just as easily do a floral delivery,” he said. Can yacht and pleasure boat dealers fit into the transportation category — as “marine consultants”? Harry Walp, president and CEO of Northwest Yacht Brokers Association, said it’s not yet clear if boat sellers are essential businesses. Essential marine industry jobs include consultants, naval architects and surveyors, but the state order doesn’t specify whether that applies to recreational or commercial segments of the industry, Walp said. “Several of my associates are taking a liberal interpretation of ‘consultants’ and make the argument that yacht brokers fit that description,” Walp said. “If so, yacht sales could be deemed essential. My concern is that a yacht broker potentially places himself, his family and his associates in harm’s way if he resumes sales activities. The yacht brokerage industry is taking the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously and the vast majority of our members would prefer to err on the side of caution.” About that Funko order … Meanwhile, hundreds of U.S. retailers are now focused on e-commerce delivery because retail outlets are shuttered. To fill orders, warehouses and distribution centers are open for business. Are those essential? Clothes, handbags, outdoor gear, bedding and toys are all available online from the likes of Washington-based Nordstrom, REI and Amazon, as well as retailers in othe... https://www.heraldnet.com/business/essential-businesses-florists-boat-sellers-and-toy-makers/
A devoted florist gives each 9/11 victim a white birthday rose - The Gazette
Sunday, January 17, 2021On Friday, six names will be adorned with white roses.Amelia Fields, 46, had been working at the Pentagon for only two days when Flight 77 crashed into the imposing military fortress outside Washington.Ivhan Luis Carpio Bautista, 24, a cook for Windows on the World, was supposed to take the day off but subbed in for a co-worker.AnnMarie Riccobini, 58, a billings supervisor at a law firm, had just beaten breast cancer.Michael Berkeley, 38, had just founded his own brokerage.Michael LaForte, 39, a broker, never met his third child, born two months after 9/11.FDNY Lieutenant Vincent Francis Giammona, 40, last spoke to his wife while en route to the burning towers.Family members often reach out to Collarone or to the memorial’s staff, touched and surprised by the ritual. “It is with tears of gratitude that I write this,” said Jennifer Glick in an email to the memorial. Her brother Jeremy was among those who rushed the hijackers on Flight 93, which crashed into a field in rural Pennsylvania. “With all the insecurity and chaos that we face right now, knowing that our loved ones are remembered gives me great comfort.”Kerry Irvine, an artist, used to visit the memorial often to think about her sister, Kristy Irvine-Ryan, a 30 year-old equities trader who had been married for just three months when she died. But in March, she told The Washington Post, “It was all chained off, and one of my first thoughts was, ‘Oh, God, her birthday,’ which was May 22nd.” Then she got a photo of her sister’s name decorated with a white rose. “To know they’re taking care of all of them, and giving them the respect they deserve,” she said, “it takes the load off the families a little bit.”The memorial grounds reopened July 4. The museum will begin allowing visitors inside again this weekend - first, family members only on Friday and then the public on Saturday, with drastically limited capacity.Collarone didn’t come up with the idea for the birthday flowers; that was a volunteer in the museum. But he’s the one who’s made it happen all these years, carefully selecting roses - he wants them to be a perfect white - from the city’s flower market and cleaning them and nursing them at his shop Floratech, in Manhattan’s Tribeca neighborhood. “I’m not looking for the cheapest roses,” he says. “I look for the best.”When the pandemic forced New York to shut down, halting inbound flights bearing hard-to-get white roses from global suppliers in the Netherlands and South America, Collarone knew instantly “that I had to take care of it,” he says. “I went into an immediate rescue mode for the 9/11 memorial.”Whereas roses had been coming in on 10 flights a day, there was now one flight a week from Europe. He worked connections (“My Holland guys helped me out.”), paid large markups as freight pricessoared, and sent drivers to the airport to pick up loads of roses directly from the source, circumventing wholesalers, because, he says, the city’s flower market, then and now, “is operating on life support.”His own shop, which used to supply flowers for Madison Square Garden and high-end hotels like the Mandarin Oriental, has hit dire straits. “We’re lucky if we make enough money to keep our electricity on,” Collarone says. He’s had to close all three of his retail flower shops, and lay off all of his employees, some of whom had been working with him for 20 to 30 years.Still, he wouldn’t dream of stopping the birthday-rose ritual, or asking for payment.He “grew up poor,” he says, in the firemen-and-cops enclave of Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and worked in a flower shop before becoming an insurance salesman.It was a chance meeting with Andy Warhol at the legendary Limelight nightclub, he says, that got him to turn back toward his love of flowers.

Florist Starts ‘Flowers for Black Men' After George Floyd's Death, Sharing Random Kindness - NBC Southern California
Sunday, January 17, 2021S. Capitol in shock, many couldn’t help but wonder why the underwhelming police response to President Trump’s rioting supporters was so different from the massive show of force seen this summer at a Washington D.C. Black Lives Matter protest following the death of George Floyd. NBCLX’s Fernando Hurtado talked to Frank Straub, an expert in critical incident responses at the National Police Foundation, for a breakdown of the police reaction to both events. "Guys really do like flowers and they even blush when they get them which is kind of cool," Brown said. "'Flowers for Black men' were a way to show that, hey I love you, I see you, I understand this is a traumatic experience you’re going through, so here’s flowers to show you that," she said. Mallory With The Flowers has more than 11,000 followers on Instagram. And if there’s proof that her approach works, it’s now on her finger. Her boyfriend proposed on new year’s day. But she says for her wedding, someone else will handle the flowers. Ted chen nbc 4 news view park. ... https://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/view-park-mallory-with-the-flowers/2504159/
