Some news! Today is my last day working full-time at @TheCut @NYMag !!!!!!! After 5.5 years, I've decided to do something no one has ever done before, which is go FREELANCE. I'm sad to say goodbye, but also excited for a challenge. (More complicated taxes.) Let's work together!

I remember seeing Virgil at a work event in ~2015/16 and asking for an interview. He kindly obliged, and I mentioned wanting to work with him on a larger profile in the future. I asked who the best contact was, and he gave me his cell. He did that for so many people. What a loss.

So Tom Ford loves orchids because Halston loved orchids, and Halston loved orchids (and spent $150k a year on them) because Charles James loved orchids. So these three expensive flower loving men have basically been bankrolling New York’s orchid industry for like, 80 years. Nice.
