TEFAF New York. Spring arrives spectacularly in the Armory…..#tulips #springflowers @tefaf
At the New York City Ballet gala. Spectacular dancing, wonderful Silas Farley premiere and the timeless Balanchine Stravinsky Violin concerto. Celebrating with Linda Murray, curator of the Jerome Robbins Dance Division of the New York Public Library. I am so grateful to Linda who has been so instrumental to my current research and am so honored to sit on the committee for Linda’s dance division, the preeminent and most extensive dance archive in the world. Come to the ballet! And delve into the treasures across the plaza at the dance archives!…….#jeromerobbinsdancedivision #nypl #nycballet #newyorkcityballet @nycballet #silasfarley #balanchineforever #balanchine
Bonheur! And lucky me—I got the last four sprigs of lily of the valley at my florist. It is Dior’s favorite flower and very much mine. Wishing all a very happy first of May. Xx. #mayday #bonheur #diorissimo #dior #diorissimoforever
With infinite possibilities and promises for the future, a job site to me is a garden . Wondrous.

Checking out Christopher Wheeldon’s choreography for #MJ the Musical. One decisive tipped hip and the archaeology of dance surfaces. Rich and Tone and Fosse of course, but also Gregge Burge’s choreography for Bad sifts through, as well popping, hip hop, John Bubbles’ Sportin’ Life, James Brown, and the unique vision of Jackson making it one coherent compelling statement. Bravo to #mylesfrost for mastering every shoulder twist, raised heel, and sharp turn. A stunning debut. #mjthemusical #christopherwheeldon #richandtone #fosse #johnbubbles #jamesbrown #greggburge #sportinlife

Night life in the time of Covid. Slightly after 10 last night, after the theater, all the usual haunts were closing. ( Is this the new reality?.) A kind maitre d’ directed us to the one place he could think of—the Whiskey Trader on West 55th Street. Sports screens, popcorn, the waitresses in Daisy Mae shorts, and crowded (after all, it was the only game in town!). And guess what ? We had a great time! New York in her infinite variety never fails. ……….#nightlifeinthetimeofcovid #lifeinthetimeofcovid19 #newyorkinthetimeofcovid #posttheaterdrink #manhattanvalentine

As we shiver in Manhattan today. #cotterscamp #kenya #outdoorbathing #bathtub-goals #masaimara Thank you to @serenacrawford for sharing invaluable advice. ❤️
Enchantress Dorian Leigh entreating a dispassionate Ray Bolger as Santa. (Vogue, December 13, 1946. ) I think she’s asking him for the New Look but he’s clearly preoccupied by his choreography by Balanchine for the upcoming production of Where’s Charley?…… Merry Christmas to all, wherever you may be, whatever is on your mind! ……#dorianleigh #raybolger #taplegends #vogue #newlookforever #balanchinestories

With the film crew for the documentary on 30, avenue Montaigne, the historic headquarters of Christian Dior Haute Couture.
18 hours on the ground in Beverly Hills, a lifetime of conversations, the euphoria of connections, old and new. Some public, as here, interviewing the wise, inspiring, intrepid @justinepicardie on her new book Miss Dior at Dior Beverly Hills. Others private. Thank you @laurayanagimoto @christyannanguyen @jeromepulis @fannybourdettedonon @mottenbac @madisonfewox @mpucci422 @alexanderspeirs and, of course, dear Justine. ………..#dior #missdior #christiandiordesignerofdreams #denim #diorhistory #dior @dior @diormaison
Celebrating @justinepicardie and the triumph of Miss Dior, a book that explores the liminal space between history and what really happened—-via the life of Catherine Dior, heroine of the French Résistance and sister of Christian. Miss Dior, the perfume that evoked love and possibility as the world emerged from war, was Dior’s enduring tribute to his sister. Now Justine’s book joins Dior in paying homage to Catherine, whose life affirmed beauty, love, and moral courage in the face of the chilling depravity of WW II. A powerful, inspiring story that needed telling. Brava and merci, Justine! .………..#missdior #diordesignerofdreams #barjacket #lifeisbetterwithchampagne @dior @fsgbooks #diorheadtotoe #sisterhood
Morning chat with #diordesignerofdreams curator @matthew_yokobosky on that ever inspiring, complex, multi-faceted Christian Dior.

Thank you @sabinerothman and #interiorsacademy for moderating so intelligently and inviting me to the party!……..
