The Siblings Who Changed How We Party
  + stars: | 2024-05-21 | by ( Christopher Barnard | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
On an afternoon this spring, James Hirschfeld, a founder of Paperless Post, was at the company’s Lower Manhattan office surveying moodboards for digital invitation designs. As Mr. Hirschfeld examined the collagelike boards, he recalled a meeting about the design of new children’s invitations. Mr. Hirschfeld, 38, with his older sister, Alexa Hirschfeld, 40, started Paperless Post in 2009, when they were 23 and 25. He was a senior at Harvard and she was working at CBS as a second assistant to the anchor Katie Couric. Paperless Post has also earned fans in the heritage stationery businesses it sought to disrupt, collaborating with brands like Crane and Cheree Berry on digital products.

Quietly Dressing Hollywood’s Cool Girls

On it was the actress Greta Lee, who was trying on a satin gown the same color as the flesh of a banana. “This dress cannot puddle,” Mrs. Goldberg, 40, said, squinting her eyes as she focused on a slight break at the bottom of the custom Loewe piece. (Ms. Lee is an ambassador for the brand.) “What it’s doing right now,” Mrs. Goldberg said of the dress onscreen, “it can’t do that. It has to be perfect.” Nanaz Hatami, a tailor Mrs. Goldberg has worked with for five years, who was with Ms. Lee, sprang into action.

The Store Where Christmas Started in September
  + stars: | 2023-11-24 | by ( Christopher Barnard | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
A little before noon on Oct. 5, Richard Morrison was hanging a glass ornament that resembled a head of garlic on a small metal tree. It was one of several trees that had been installed inside a John Derian store in Manhattan’s East Village neighborhood, where Mr. Morrison, a floor manager, and his colleagues had been setting up holiday décor since Sept. 30. It was the earliest that John Derian, 61, had begun the Christmas season at his store since he started his namesake retail business in New York in 1995. Mr. Morrison, 36, was one of five employees unpacking and arranging ornaments at the shop on Oct. 5, a balmy Thursday. “People don’t buy furniture as Christmas gifts,” he said, “so I thought it might be fun to do it in here.”

There’s Nothing Itsy About This Bitsy
  + stars: | 2023-07-18 | by ( Christopher Barnard | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Michael kept saying, “One of these days.”A couple years later, Bitsy was born, along with Nathan Lane’s character. Like Bitsy, you lost your husband, so the conversation with Carrie about grief at the salon presumably came from something of a real place. He also wanted Bitsy to be a little more than just a funny lady wearing fun clothes, skipping in and out of the girls’ lives. Then, a few scenes later, Bitsy sends Carrie the penis picture while Gloria Steinem is speaking. I’m telling you, there would be a lot fewer wars in the world if people were more sexually satisfied.

A Senior Tradition You Might Not Know About
  + stars: | 2023-05-06 | by ( Christopher Barnard | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
The fashion designer Emily Adams Bode Aujla bought her first pair of senior corduroy pants from a vintage-clothing seller in 2013 when she was a senior at the New School. The pants style had by then been around for more than a century. Senior cords seem to have first appeared at Purdue University in Indiana in the early 1900s, according to an archivist at the university, and evolved to become a sort of wearable yearbook for college and high school seniors in the state. The students would use corduroy clothes — typically pants and skirts in cream or yellow — as canvases that were illustrated with favorite activities, sweethearts’ initials and other personal details. Bode Aujla started her ready-to-wear brand Bode, which includes pieces made with antique materials and historical techniques like quilting, she started selling custom senior cords in an attempt to revive the tradition.
