Rory Warby
INQUIRE AT KAHLO
Inspired by nature, created by hand. Local Pound Ridge’r Rory Worby is the artist and creative force behind an offering of exquisite, hand-painted silks inspired by nature that blur the lines between fashion and fine art, the culmination of her fashionforward vision gained from twenty-five years in the apparel industry, and formal training as an artist. Her Process: “Each piece I create is a one-of-a-kind work of art. I am continually inspired by nature. I start by pre-washing finest grade silks to ensure a soft hand. Then, like an artist's canvas, I stretch the silk on a frame and hand-paint it using environmentally friendly dyes, non-toxic water based resist, and natural sea salt applied with Japanese sumi brushes. The colors are fixed by a steaming process, then re-washed to extract any remaining dye. The result is astonishing wearable art.”
Models: Caroline wears a beautiful blue silk kimono and slip dress, Cara wears the gorgeous “falling leaves” silk georgette kimono. Tami McCarthy, tonight’s Eco-Chic creator and event chair, is also wearing a one-of-a-kind Rory Worby kimono.

BEAUTIFUL. DELICIOUS. COMMUNAL.
From Shari Ivler, Owner: "I've always loved entertaining, throwing parties and hosting family and friends. After having two daughters and planning countless events at our home, I started creating "graze boards" for our guests to enjoy. One day, after a friend commented that these
- and delicious - boards she'd were some of the most beautiful ever seen (*blushing*), graze New York was born. Our food boards are meant to be shared and enjoyed as a group (but no judgement if you want one for yourself!). My hope is that you enjoy "grazing" on them as much as I enjoy creating them. I hope it inspires you to continue to entertain! Thanks for being a part of this venture!
xo, Shari
