A Different Tweed: Fashion Conversations with Bronwyn Cosgrave
Kerry Taylor explains how she set up the world's leading auction house specializing in vintage fashion. She reveals how she revived the profession of auctioning one-of-a-kind garments initially for Sotheby's and then how, after striking out on her own, she set auction records and generated headlines by selling couture worn by the likes of Audrey Hepburn and Princess Diana as well as a slip dress by Charlotte Todd which a 20something Kate Middleton flaunted on a student fashion runway. Discussing a recent project, The L'Wren Scott Collection, Kerry explains how she helped to orchestrate this Christie's London sale of ready-to-wear designed by the late L'Wren Scott. Scott was a model and celebrity stylist who launched an independent fashion label in 2006. She became famous for crafting red carpet finery memorably worn by famous women she styled including Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Sarah Jessica Parker.
Today's New To You show is from the Sunday before Thanksgiving 2011. Lian, Monica, Sheila and Liz discuss Thanksgiving plans and food assignments, a vertigo attack, a cat attack and a couple of surprising movies worth seeing. Lian will be hosting Thanksgiving in Pasadena. Liz will be bringing shrimp and these Spicy Green Beans with Parmesan from Giada de Laurentis on Food Network. Monica will be making stuffed mushrooms. Sheila's going to buy a pie. Monica has a Christmas gift epiphany while thinking about the fact that our mother seems to want to give all of us a toaster ovens this year. What's up with that? Sheila's epiphany is that she really loathes doing report cards - tough for a third grade teacher. Can she do an oral report? Lian manages to fight off an attack of a cartoon cat. Her neighbor Mrs. Lester called on her for help with a crazy cat in her kitchen. Lian barely survives the encounter. Movie reviews on Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Martha Marcy May Marlene.
