Dashing Through The Snow
Gone are the days of puffy jackets and layering frumpy clothing just to stay warm. This season’s winter wear is sleek and chic, offering everything from striking white and black to warm earth tones, vivid prints, and vibrant colors. Luxurious cashmere abounds, as does wool, leather, and oh-so-cozy shearling. Whether you’re headed for Aspen, a trip East, or to the local mountains, be sure to update your wardrobe with a few stylish stunners.

Z Is For Zandra
Hot from the runways of London and Paris, Zandra Rhodes presented her Romantic Moonlight Haute Couture Collection at a luncheon in the lobby of The Westgate Hotel. Local celebrities and guest models descended the staircase in the Grand Lobby wearing Rhodes’ signature silks and chiffons in vibrant hues. She left no detail undone. The models’ sky-high hair was inspired, she said, by the domes of Russia. Proceeds benefit the American Friends of Zandra Rhodes Museum London.
