The Knot

While many of you out there are probably already “style icons” in your own right, for some of you, the sartorial journey might have just begun.

We believe in the old saying, “you have to learn the rules before you can break them.” This is the very foundation of dressing well.

Painting Without Brushes

My mom was a seamstress and a dressmaker. She was also my main caregiver as my dad worked in the diamond district. We didn’t have a lot of money.
