On a phone call in October, Carly Mark raised the idea for the first time: She needed to leave New York.
But there was more: Ms. Mark said she could no longer sell clothes.
A few weeks earlier, in September, Ms. Mark held a runway show for her five-year-old fashion brand, Puppets and Puppets.
Puppets and Puppets may not be widely known, but Ms. Mark can draw an audience: celebrities with grit, writers with money, artists with modeling gigs.
The installations tangoed with the clothes: elegant and screwy, sexy and goth, coated in cinematic references.
