My brother’s new place in Buenos Aires. Wanderlust and waves of tango are calling. #buenosaires #tangoargentino
Voting in an icon. A thrill to be voting under the watchful eyes of Vasily Kandinsky and Cecilia Vicuña—and on a bluebell day. ….#vote #guggenheimmuseum #artanddemocracy #newvotingplace
I don’t take International Giraffe Day lightly! This is a territorial dispute in the Masai Mara—apparently there just isn’t enough room for all! ….#giraffe #internationalgiraffeday #masaimara #kenya
I understand via @darlingduane and @sstokesnyc that this is indeed International Giraffe Day. I am breakfasting with a Rothschild giraffe, identified by the less jagged markings and a creamy pelt. #internationalgiraffeday #rothschildgiraffe #giraffemanor #nairobi
Cause for reflection and celebration aligned into one day: Father’s Day, Juneteenth. My relationship with my father was fraught and complicated but I am ever grateful for his gift of endless curiosity and wanderlust. On my desk is a small figure he acquired in Guinea while working on the medical ship, SS Hope, a talisman for my own journey. Happy celebration to all today!…..#fathersday #legacy #juneteenth #gaypride #conakry #guinea #sshope
Back to New York and restocking the basics. ….

A bluebell Friday afternoon. I am at my desk, and see much of the weekend sorting through thoughts at my desk, but my mind is wandering to distant lands. Happy weekend to all!
Anniversary lunch with Thong. Celebrating the most wondrous, evolving journey of all! ❤️…..#parisinthespring #springtimeinparis #leprecatelan #paris #happyanniversary
Working with master ensemblier Pierre de Grandsaignes of Decour (maison fondée 1834). I encountered Maison Decour when researching Dior and His Decorators—-Pierre’s elegant grandmother oversaw all of Georges Geffroy’s and Victor Grandpierre’s projects. So you can imagine the level of taste,savoir faire, tradition, and ROMANCE they invest in their creations……………... #paris #artsetmetiers #traditionandtechnique #savoirfaire #romance #springtimeinparis #parisinthespring #parisinteriors #diorandhisdecorators #victorgrandpierre #georgesgeffroy
Rendez-vous with Olivier Flaviano at 5:30 at the « Diorama.»
(It used to be under the clock at the Biltmore but that is SO vieux jeu!) #dior #diorgalerie #diorandhisdecorators #springtimeinparis @olivierflaviano #30avenuemontaigne #staircasediorchallenge
Surprise admittance to the historic inner sanctum of Dior—the original models’ dressing room. Time has literally stood still here, as it had been locked and unused for years. Un grand merci Olivier Flaviano for the Sleeping Beauty treat.
