This past weekend, I spent several hours watching some interesting fashion documentaries. With the release of McQueen, the documentary about the legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen, I got to thinking about the other fashion documentaries I watched, like The September Issue, Dior and I, and Four Seasons With Dior. A few years ago, I flipped on the TV and began watching a documentary on “supermodels.” It didn’t feature Gisele Bundchen or Miranda Kerr or Cindy Crawford, but it featured such timeless icons as Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, and Paulina Porizkova, and many other supermodels of their time.

October 10, 2018 No Comments

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and as a tribute to the beautiful women around the world either newly diagnosed, currently being treated for, or surviving breast cancer, I wanted to put a spotlight on some amazing celebrities who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.
