Debra Rapoport and Tziporah Salamon



This weekend Tziporah Salamon, Debra Rapoport and I attended a conversation between Iris Apfel and Tavi Gevinson at The Met. During the panel discussion Tavi and Iris discussed everything from what inspires their personal style to notions of conventional beauty in the fashion industry. What I appreciated most about the conversation was how Tavi and Iris both considered style a means for personal expression. Like The Advanced Style ladies they believe that fashion shouldn't be taken too seriously, that it should be fun and creative, and allow people to escape from the seriousness of daily life.



I have always associated dressing up with play.Growing up, my mom and grandmother allowed me to look their drawers and dress up in my grandfather's old jackets, hats and argyle socks.Dressing up can nurture our creative spirits and it doesn't have to stop at a certain age!
