LA, you treated me to three days of non-stop rain, but also with the warm welcome of The Palm, alluring panache of Fred Segal, delicious nourishment at Luque’s and contagious friendship of your residents; all highlighted by the cosmopolitan embrace of The London West Hollywood. And with the classic twist of a tinseltown movie, delivered a glorious sun-filled day just before we were to part.
Let not so much time pass till we meet again.

Dear friends Audrey Reny, "Committee Member" and Anna Levitan, "Co-Chair of High Hopes Gala" and me to the right.
A grand applause goes out to the Joslin Diabetes Center for hosting an inspiring evening. The High Hopes Gala World Diabetes Day Celebration, hosted this year by Ray and Shannon Allen and our dear friends Rich and Anna Levitan was a huge success garnering huge recognition for the Joslin, all that it does, and awareness to this vital cause. It was Korn Design’s honor to support this event and have the pleasure to work with this incredible team.

So it was off to Memphis to convene with my distinguished panel of designers and creative leaders to present at the AIGA’s National Design Conference, MAKE/THINK, this past weekend. I moderated the panel discussion under the title Looking Back/Looking forward and engaged the group to share their experiences on how they got their start that molded them into the vibrant creative professionals that they are today. Sappi Fine Paper sponsored the session and has been extremely supportive of YOUTH DESIGN through awarding Denise with their coveted “Ideas That Matter’ grant in 2008 and 2009. We were thrilled at the enthusiasm around the topic of mentoring and utilizing design minds to make a difference in today’s communities and the world context.

Our friends at Kids Can Cook invited the city’s best chefs to lend a hand at their recent Chefs at the Table event. As guests we were treated to dinner, cooked right at our tables, by one of the 20 famed chefs, which included our clients Jody Adams of Rialto, Peter Davis of Henrietta’s Table, Tom Fosnot of Rocca, and Jasper White of the Summer Shack.
I was lucky to land at Chef Jack Huang of Duozo’s table, and enjoy delicacies beyond my limited abilities of description.
Congrats to Kids Can Cook on a terrific event.

Couldn’t let another day go by without getting this up here . . . Fashionably Late this past Thurdsay at The Liberty Hotel was simply “beyond” . . . we celebrated the “official” launch of the new Boston Ballet brand in a swirl of fashion, music, drink and dance set against the backdrop of the magnificent lobby of The Liberty Hotel. Bringing Boston Ballet together with Karmaloop was a big idea . . . to mix the magical contrast of these two universes in a holistic energy of cutting edge dance, style and culture. The dancers blew everyone away . . . here’s a sneak peek . . . more to come!

In San Francisco, for a truly independent and smart experience, get your caffeine fix at Ritual Coffee Roasters. I love their minimalist spaces filled in warm wood and their witty sayings throughout.

I got to know Brendan and Marcel this summer when they stepped up to the plate and mentored one of our Youth Design students. Their company SOCIETY Original Products www.societysop.com is simply the bomb. Check it out for some of the most detailed yet beautifully simple, stylish and functional streetwear I have yet to encounter. Marcel ponders every twist and turn on each garment, from button-hole to some hard-core messaging on linings. Philanthropic, huge collaborators with everyone from film to music to working with urban youth . . . I can’t say enough!
