Saks Fifth Avenue Event with Michael Bastian
Thanks to everyone who braved the rain and came out to Saks for the Michael Bastian event.
It has been really wonderful to meet so many of my readers and have an opportunity to conduct these events with Saks.
The setting was very intimate and I think Michael really opened up about the excitement and challenges of being a young designer.
I thought it was interesting when Michael discussed how a designer can have an inspiration, sketch it, build a collection around it and after working it for a while eventually realizing it isn't right and then have to start over. I think that takes a lot of courage to start over ,especially on a tight time schedule, but that is the kind of thing that helps designers succeed.

The scarf in the middle looks fantastic!
The young man with the striped scarf is simply heart-meltingly adorable.
I think these guys knew you were coming and wore scarves just for you. Nice photos.
I'll bet they did wear their scarves for you! The guy in the tweed and jeans, on the right, is that a fur scarf!? He looks fabulous! (The guy on the left is not too shabby either.) And they also look great together. I want to know what was in their shopping bags.
The one in the striped scarf is a cutie!
I love the smiles on the faces of all these men. Actually, they make me smile, too.
Please please please tell me you have more pictures of this. There were so many more oustanding Sarts out that night.
I love theguy with the scarf...Reminded me of the scarfs the blonde guy in The Devil Wears Prada was wearing but much sportier...byt the way, I asked my gf JAckie what she thought about the scarf on men and she replied " too Oxford - not for me". SO is it really too Oxford?
very handsome boys. love the harry potter scarf and the young handsome man in the great suit
I don't know about Oxford, sandman, but that first scarf is looking rather Hogwarts to me. Gryffindor, I think?
Oh, yes. I, too, am having a "heart-meltingly-adorable-we-must-meet!!" moment with the handsome lad in the scarf. =]
I love all of the man-scarves!
The great thing about design is how you can incorporate a dead end into your work. It winds up helping to clarify where you want to go, your new destination being some place you couldn't get to if you hadn't failed and restarted. It's just difficult to learn to honor and love the stillborns all the same.
I love the paisley(?) tie in the third pic. Wonderful!
Oh my.. gorgeous guys.
What's Harry Potter doing at Saks?
Blowharder, that's the point my girlfriend was making..too collegy style, preppy etc... Hogwarts is after all a college for magicians eh? LOL
the guy in the gryffindor scarf is HOTT

the guy in the 2nd pic... oh my gosh... he's gorgeous...
I agree with all of you, I just fell in love with that guy in the 2nd photo!
