Stars, Stripes and Plaid

Happy Independence Day! I hope everyone stateside celebrated in style and steered clear of any “fashion faux pas of the 4th” as I pointed out in my previous post. I proudly wore red, white and blue which is a huge boost to my usual summer white – not to mention the rest of my predominately black and grey wardrobe.

The lovely Wendy Brandes reminded me that her pal, Zang Toi (whose showroom we visited last month) did a pretty little patriotic frock which was worn by Farrah Fawcett to the Oscar’s, but I couldn’t find a photo to share. Toi’s post-9/11, fall 2002 collection paid homage to the stars and stripes. What a brilliant grouping of tasteful ensembles beaming with U.S. pride. Thank you Zang!
