American architect Bertram Goodhue was born on this day in 1869. I went Church Hopping to the Church of the Intercession in Washington Heights and St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church in Midtown, two churches he co-designed in New York.
Extra! Extra! Read all about it! In 1896, Goodhue designed a typeface for Cheltenham Press. Called Cheltenham, the typeface is the one used for the headline for The New York Times.
The Greek American Fashion Week Show concluded with the Spring/Summer 2013 collection by Timothy George. Learning through apprenticeships at highly respected garment factories, George debuted work that was pure luxury. His designs looked expensive both in materials used and cuts.
George used beautiful French and Italian fabric. The most stunning fabric was a lightweight teal erupting with raised, soft-looking orange dots. This surreal and gorgeous fabric was used for a wrap blouse, a t-shirt, and a skirt. Pairing them with a high-sheen orange skirt or with a more neutral and plain top or bottom showed how versatile this otherworldly cloth could be. Other fabrics included softer ones, which were masterfully cut to bring a formality to their delicateness or were draped and billowed to promote their femininity. Other fabrics, on the other hand, were tough and high-sheen. With a high-end aesthetic, the collection reflected beauty, extravagance, strength, and femininity.
Timothy George is based in Midtown Manhattan.
