Dapper and Innovative

May 18, 2013

Treasury guest Kyle stopped in today, looking the epitome of dapper. He combined thrift store and vintage finds with contemporary brands, creating his own tie with a scarf and tie pin! It’s polished off with a hand stamped leather briefcase. He’s a true style icon for the everyday man.

Style Icon: Vivienne Westwood

After reading the T Magazine story on Ms. Westwood, I couldn’t help but revist her awesome style prowess. Who better to look up to in times like this than a woman with a strong sense of artistry, individuality and humor?

Style Icon: I am Erica Kane!

August 26, 2009

The leopard print, the shoulders, the sequins and the Vidal Sassoon waves…not to mention that her face has slowly morphed into an entirely new one! Beyond the hair and make-up and stilettos, Erica Kane was the first person to get a legal abortion on TV ever–score one for women’s rights.
