…………………These are backstage shots as the models were getting ready , and lining up to go on the runway…….That”s Roxanne in the middle photo, second column from the left…….Everything has changed so much, and so many wonderful people are gone…..that the fashion industry isn’t the same anymore…………..They were the glorious times……never to be repeated.
……………………”CHERISH”…………..a word you hardly hear anymore.
After watching the Emmys I was wondering why “Peaky Blinders” nor its’ caste wasn’t nominated or awarded for anything. IMHO it was one of the best things I have ever scene, and there were many award worthy performances…..Does anyone have an answer????
……………..Through out one’s lifetime there are people who’s paths cross with yours……and then the roads divide and they are gone……Roxanne and my path crossed for some time and it was a fun time……Roxanne was one of a kind. A winning sweet personality who could talk her way into any party any back stage designer show that ever was…….”Lowit’s backstage candid portraiture of fashion extravaganzas defined an era of hedonism, joy and glamour”…… “She was a legendary photographer who provided an intimate look into the world of fashion”. Roxanne knew every designer, and was close friends with many of them. She freelanced for a slew of publications taking candid shots at shows, galas, and clubs. She could always be seen at Studio 54 snapping away. She showed a side of nightlife that most people never got a chance to see. She made iconic images of models, celebrities and the infamous…….I don’t remember exactly when we met, but there she was….I met Roxanne many many years ago when I first started designing at Anne Klein. She was always backstage at my shows taking fabulous candid shots of everything. She would be working for a fashion magazine, but many times we would hire her to take the photos for our own use…..whether they be used for publicity shots or used in Look Books…….I haven’t had the opportunity to see Roxanne for many years, and was so sorry to hear she passed away…..She was 80 years old to my absolute shock! Where have the years gone…….I will always remember her as a young, petite, soft spoken pixie scooting about snapping away………Rest in peace sweet Roxanne.
………………………..This sweater was part of the August 2012 Fall Linea collection…As an alternative to flat surface knits, like Whisper Knit and Posh Knit, I was always looking for an interesting textured yarn…..This Boucle was just what I was looking for. The small loop yarn was soft to the touch and the knit fabric naturally followed the lines of the body. This fully fashioned V-neck, long sleeve sweater had the richness I was looking for.
