Very nicely done, Daniel. I find fashion strangely mysterious and very hard to think about, unlike art, and as you suggest in your head note. So I'd be happy to see you doing more of this, even if "only" (!) for Eminent Americans. Anyway, kudos.

Love the ties in that opening photo. It's hard to beat the repp-tie aesthetic.

Terrific story, Dan! Rhonda Garelick might be a good cultural critic to interview. She taught here a while ago and now heads a program at Hofstra. She’s written on Coco Chanel and other fashion stuff. BZ
