Sixty-year-old Meryl Streep is the “cover girl” for Vanity Fair’s January issue. My guess is that Meryl is promoting her two roles this year – It’s Complicated , with Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, and Julie & Julia , in which Meryl will likely get her bajillionth Oscar nomination for playing Julia Child.
Not only do I love looking at the works of fashion art in shop windows in New York City, but I also love photographing them because inevitably the reflections on the glass capture more than just fashion. They capture the city and its buildings, people, and unstoppable energy..
“Not to be age-ist, but she’s getting WAY busier than any of the 31-year-olds I know. Girl’s a man-eater.” “Sorry to hit a nerve with the age-ist comment. Bear in mind 30 in Chicago years is 55 in New York ones.” Flickr image via Johan Larsson Ever wonder what goes on behind the bedroom doors of your neighbors and coworkers?
While I did get to check out the whopping 10 minutes of this week’s Milan Global Fashion Summit that was dedicated to technology, I was really bummed out not to be able to to to the International Herald Tribune’s Techno Luxury conference held in Berlin last week (the Twitter archive can be found here ). It was really a trilogy of disappointments, because the conference encompassed 3 of my favorites: the Luxury+Technology factor (which is a given- being surrounded by fellow geeks and listening to Suzy Menkes and other experts talking about my favorite subject for 2 days is like having died and gone to Heaven); the involvement of my favorite Women’s Wear Daily editor, Melissa Drier, who also happens to have significantly influenced the direction of my career; and Berlin, a city I love for many reasons, including the fact that it so brilliantly embraces its history while barreling into the future.

So I’m both green with envy and thrilled to read the tidbits of info that are coming out of this conference, and am desperately waiting for more details (and video feed, anyone?!)
