Windowlicker

Last night I saw the Stephen Petronio Company perform at The Joyce. It was extraordinary, visceral, emotive, joyful, deeply moving, luminous, full of wonder, and life-affirming. I had to download Rufus Wainwright's Oh What a World immediately upon walking through the door to my apartment, as portions of that song opened the evening with a gorgeous, intimately felt duet by two male dancers. Tara Subkoff of Imitation of Christ designed the costumes (shared credit with Rachel Roy) for the two world premieres, Bud and Bloom, and despite my initial skepticism, they were actually quite perfect, from the bustling flounce of hot pink tulle emerging from behind the stark white oxfords of female dancers in an early piece to exquisite goddess-y pleated sage green dresses finished ending in divine egg-shaped skirts later in the program. In honor of Subkoff's exceptionally bright work, today's Windowlicker features her "Steffie" wedge for Easy Spirit in dark grey leather (and various other shades and finishes, $240). With that, I'm headed upstate for the weekend. Back Sunday, doves. XO.

Windowlicker - from the French for window shopping: faire du lèche-vitrine - appears on Tuesday and Thursdays at 10am EST.

Darling! You always do the most interesting things and find the most fabulous stuff. Rufus is an angel, that song is incredible - the show sounds amazing. (Superlative anyone?)
But really, let's get down to brass tacks: THOSE SHOES! Oh my god. Must try them. I love that Ms Tara is committed to style + comfort. (But I wonder how comfortable some of the sky high ones could be.)
