46 LIVING LEGEND MERYL STREEP This season’s living legend has been nominated for 21 Academy Awards, won three, and was nominated for 32 Golden globes, with eight wins— but Meryl Streep shines bright in the world of philanthropy and acts of kindness. Our columnist Debbie Bancroft takes a look at Steep’s career and shows us how she’s giving back.

60 FASHION FIGURES IN THE FIGHT The fashion industry has evolved in recent months, as many brands have shuffled to meet new demands, including more casual attire as well as fashionable and functional masks. And although the industry has suffered economically, Brooke Kelly shows us how many young designers have stepped up to join in on the fight against the virus to help those most in need.

70 WHITE ELEPHANT PALM BEACH TO OPEN THIS FALL This posh resort in Nantucket has long been an icon of the preppy, New England island. And as the brand wraps up its extended busy season this fall, it will open the doors of its new sister property in Palm Beach in November.

Brooke Kelly tells us about the experiences to come.

EDITOR’S LETTER

Gigis are the best. If you’ve ever been fortunate enough to have one or know one, or happen to meet one, I recommend sticking around for a visit. They will likely have treats in their kitchen, chocolates in their porcelain, candies tucked away in their fancy mirrored vanity...and if you’re lucky, you might even find a wonderful secret dollhouse upstairs, filled with tiny furniture and miniature figurines (even the little books have pages in them, the grandfather clock’s arms move, the hairbrushes have bristles…).

You and Gigi will play in the dollhouse for hours—making up stories about the little dolls named “Isabelle,” “Jim,” and “Frances”—and the adventures they have with their puppy, “Pierre,” and their kitten, “Mack,” who is seated neatly by the fireplace with a pink ball of yarn… And perhaps Gigi and “Bampoo”—Gigi’s other half, also known as “grandfather”- aptly named “Bampoo” by his first-born granddaughter—might whirl you off in their shiny car for a quick trip to a nearby amusement park, where a miniature railroad rides around with children laughing and eating ice cream on board (“Choo-Choo”), while a colorful ferris wheel spins ’round…and Bampoo will pull a quarter out of your ear just in time for you to catch the train for a short ride to the twinkling gift shop, where dolls and bears and bunnies happily align the storefront window.

Oh yes, Gigis are truly wonderful! Gentle and loving and kind, Gigis are full of love and will even help you revive a little chipmunk should a cat chase one into their rose garden… Because Gigis are also strong—you will rarely see one crying (although you can cry to them as much as you like; they will always make you feel better). And Gigis are the smartest—not only can they beat everybody else in Bridge, but Gigis will also give you the best advice anyone can offer. Listen carefully when a Gigi speaks—Gigis know their truth. Their words are, in fact, pearls of wisdom. Our family was blessed with a Gigi for 103 years (she would have been 104 on September 19). I was her first-born grandchild and namesake—I named her “Gigi.” Gigi, I hope you are somewhere wonderful, playing with Tuggie, dancing with Bampoo, and eating key lime pie (with graham cracker crust, naturally).

Gigi would have loved Q’s Fall Living Legend, Meryl Streep. I can see the two of them together now: cozying up in their silk bathrobes and slippers, raised eyebrows as they chuckle while discussing politics over martinis and box of chocolates. Returning Q Contributor Debbie Bancroft delivers a heartfelt and compelling look at Streep. Meryl is an exceptional actress, but upon reading Bancroft’s piece, you will learn that she is an even better person.

Meryl Streep rocked the fashion world when she portrayed “wintery” Miranda Priestly, Vogue’s—er, Runway’s—editrix extraordinaire. Meryl clearly gets the world of fashion (or at least Meryl-turned-Miranda does). And so does Q contributor Elizabeth Kurpis! Albeit with a gentler touch and warmer approach. Kurpis wrote and produced a beautiful piece on Saddle River; no doubt anyone who reads it will be headed there soon, to enjoy the dreamy gardens and dine at The Saddle River Inn. And fashion is ethical! And eco-friendly, and cruelty-free. To prove that truth, look no further than Amanda Hearst, who cofounded luxury online retailer, Maison de Mode, Counterclockwise from top right: Amanda with Hassan Pierre. The brand was built around a passion for ethical fashion and a cleanHearst wearing sustainable looks from Maison er environment. Former Vogue editors Valerie Macaulay and Meredith Melling, along de Mode; Balenciaga Sunglasses; Andy with former rag & bone executive, Molly Howard, cofounded La Ligne in 2016. La Ligne Warhol at The Battle of Versailles, 1973; is also taking a “giving back” approach, by partnering with Lower Eastside Girls Club Moncler Malachite coat in Military Green; (LESGC), which runs an arts, science, and civic engagement Center for Community for the author with her grandmother, “Gigi,” young women near the NYCHA housing projects. Catch the full story by turning to Q’s Christmas, 2010; Shoshanna mother and child own Brooke Kelly’s, “Fashion Figures in The Fight.” face masks; Lafayette 148 Vale Knee-High Fall Q abounds with the best in boots, bags, sunglasses, and beauty, and as always, Boots; Eartha Kitt being fitted for a Givenchy managing editor Alex Travers delivers peak Fall style with this issue’s set of “Evening derss in 1961; Moritz Glik 18K Yellow Gold Looks.” Get excited to step into Fall smiling (even if you’re wearing a mask) with a Emerald And Diamond Enamel Drop Earrings; fresh approach. u Meryl Streep touching up her makup in 1980.

CONTRIBUTORS

The Economist, Institutional Investor, and Forbes, Debbie landed in the social world she understood slightly better, writing for New York Social Diary and contributing to Town & Country and Elle Décor. She splits her time between New York and Southampton, and visits L.A. as often as possible, as her son, Will, lives there (daughter Serena is local). Bancroft was thrilled to write about Meryl Streep for this issue of Q, taking a look at both her impressive career and Streep’s charitable acts—and, of course, her love of martinis during a Zoom cocktail parties.

72

Alex Travers > Alex is the managing editor of Quest and Q magazines, and in this issue rounds up some of the best (and most practical) menswear looks this season—because who isn’t ready to get dressed up again? “I’ve been doing most of my work from a couch or stand-up desk in my room—and in a robe,” he jokes. Alex, who rejoined the editorial staff at Quest in 2020 after playing golf on professional mini tours for two years, enjoys reading James Bond books and working on the small yard in his new apartment. “It’s been a great project to keep me sane during this quarantine.”

84 Tykischa Jacobs > Known fondly at the office as TJ, Tykischa is the art director and production manager for Quest and Q magazines. She uses her creativity to bring this exciting Fall issue of Q to life, designing all of the editorial pages. This season, she particularly enjoyed composing the “A Snapshot Of Iconic Black Women In Fashion” feature that showcases elegant black women throughout history. Outside of the office, TJ can be found exploring nature by visiting the many fascinating parks in New York City (while staying socially distanced, of course).

46 < Elizabeth Kurpis may be a high-profile fashion lawyer by day, but she is equally known for her involvement in the New York charity, art, and fashion scenes. She has spent the last eight years donating her time to the The Frick Collection and Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Associates Committee. When she has a moment to spare, she enjoys traveling with her husband and her children, Chicky and Hunter. These days, she’s staying a little closer to home, and takes us on a joyride around the historic town of Saddle River, New Jersey to showcase some of Fall’s greatest vintage fashion finds.

44 < Brooke Kelly A graduate of Tufts University, Brooke is the Senior Editor of Quest and Q magazines. In this issue, she heads to Palm Beach to check out the new White Elephant hotel, which will open for guests in November. She also gives us a glimpse into Parisian life with Assouline’s new book, Paris Chic. Also not to be missed are Brooke’s selection of accessories, sunglasses, boots, handbags, clutches, and coats to help you step stylishly into fall; her coverage of the hottest (socially distant) parties; or her roundup of the best new beauty products for fall.

5 Josephine Baker’s career thrived in Paris society, where she starred at the Follies-Bergère Theater. Her jaw-dropping performance—including a costume of 16 bananas strung into a skirt—cemented her status as both a fashion icon and a celebrity. She even rivaled Gloria Swanson and Mary Pickford as the most photographed woman in the world. This fall, we were inspired by her one-of-a-kind flair and style to help you find the greatest items to go along with your new wardrobes.

so personal are their performances, so warm and real are their interviews…? I have always felt that way about Meryl Streep.

She seems like the kind of compassionate, bright, honest gal that I’d like to hunker down with. And how can we not want to cozy up with someone who, in her terry cloth robe, makes her own martini and downs it, during the virtual birthday celebration for Steven Sondheim and the 50th anniversary of Company, with fellow thespians Audra McDonald and Christine Baranski (who only sipped their props), but of course I’m not alone. I did meet her once at an event for Goldie Hawn’s Mind Up (her organization to promote meditation in schools and beyond). Meryl was warm and gracious and generously posed

for pictures with my daughter and me, and of course was there to support her friend Goldie and her charity. I learned, in researching this piece, that Meryl’s core is about generosity and compassion—whether inhabiting her characters with sensitivity and heart, or in her activism, supporting a myriad of important organizations and initiatives.

Of course, her best-known moniker is that of the best actress of her generation (and I’d say, beyond). She has been nominated for 21 Academy Awards, won three, was nominated for 32 Golden globes with eight wins, and has also been nominated for BAFTAs, Tonys, Emmys, and Grammys, making her the most nominated and awarded actor in history—though I have to believe the work has been her true reward. She famously left her (third) Oscar for Kramer vs. Kramer, in the lady’s room.

Mary Louise Streep was born in Summit, New Jersey, to her artist mother, Mary Wilkinson Streep, and her pharma exec father, Harry William Streep. There, with her younger brothers, David and Harry III, she lived a sunny, suburban life, cheerleading at Bernards high School, serving as Homecoming Queen, and studying opera, which didn’t feel right. “I was singing something I didn’t understand—that was an important lesson, to find the thing I could feel truly.”

At Vassar, she found her true calling in acting, though after appearing in 12 productions in one year, and developing an ulcer, she thought about switching to law. Fortunately, she slept through her law school interview, and stayed the course, while also working as a typist and waitress.

Meryl went on the receive her MFA at Yale School of Drama, and soon after, appeared in Joseph Papp’s Trelawny of the Wells at The Public Theater, alongside John Lithgow and Mandy Patinkin—clearly Papp was a visionary.

Robert DeNiro saw Meryl in a production of The Cherry Orchard and cast her in The Deer Hunter. She had recently moved in with boyfriend, John Cazale (perhaps best known as Fredo, from The Godfather), who had just been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. He was also cast in the film, and Meryl accepted, to be close to him. Sadly, he didn’t live to see his performance. When Meryl’s brother arrived at their SoHo apartment to help move her, he brought along a friend, Don Gummer. They soon became a couple and married in 1978.

Their son Henry, now a musician, was born in 1979.

In 1983 Mary Willa (Mamie), an actress who made them grandparents last year, was born, followed by Grace Jane— also an actress—in 1986. And in 1991, Louisa Jacobson, now a model, was born.

Meryl has always dug deep into her own life, love, and pain to inform her roles. She famously rewrote Jane Kramer’s words in Kramer vs. Kramer to create a more realistic mother, and was also famously (or perhaps infamously) goaded by Dustin Hoffman about her late beau, John Cazale, to achieve a more emotional performance. And during perhaps her most heartwrenching role as Sophie, a mother who had to choose which of her children would live, she was pregnant.

Her body of work is incomparable, and a separate tome would be needed to do it all justice. And critics differ over which was her best performance. Was it Karen Blixen, “I had a farm in Africa” in Out of Africa? As a steely (no pun intended) Margaret Thatcher, in Iron Lady? The melting matriarch in Bridges of Madison County? A depleted Great depression victim in Ironweed? The independent outcast in The French

And you know, what is Hollywood anyway? It’s just a bunch of people from other places. I was born and created in the public-school systems in New Jersey. Viola Davis was born in a sharecropper’s cabin in South Carolina; Sarah Paulson was raised by a single mom in Brooklyn; Amy Adams was born in Italy; Natalie Portman was born in Jerusalem; and Ryan Gosling, like all the nicest people, was born in Canada.

Hollywood is crawling with outsiders and foreigners. If you kick ‘em out, we’re left with nothing but nothing to watch but football and mixed martial arts, which are not arts.”

And later: “We need the press to hold power to account.

That’s why our founders enshrined the press and it’s freedoms in our Constitution.”

When she won the Golden Globe for Best Actress in Julia and Julia, it was days after the devastating earthquake in Haiti.

Meryl accepted by saying, “I am honestly conflicted about how to have my happy movie self in the face of everything I’m aware of in the real world. I want to say that that’s when I have my mother’s voice coming to me saying, ‘Partners in Health.

Lieutenant’s Woman? Her restrained-till-it-wasn’t nun in Doubt? Julia Childs in Julia and Julia (for which she gained a not easy to lose again, 15 pounds)? The Dingo-damned mother in Cry in the Dark? Or the imperious editor in The Devil Wears Prada (my kids are embarrassingly familiar with my rendition of the last scene where she lowers her glasses, smiles at the retreating Anne Hathaway, then snaps “Go” at the driver)?

And aren’t we glad she’s joined the cast of HBO’s “Big Little Lies” as the “embodiment of the passive-aggressive granny.”

Her work is best seen, though, not written about. What people may know less about, however, is her philanthropy. She has been honored publicly, many times over, almost always uses her acceptance speech to bring further attention to a need or wrong she has identified, or to be flat out hysterical.

When she received her Golden Globes Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017, she told us: “Thank you Hollywood Foreign Press. You and I belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it. Hollywood, foreigners, and the press. But who are we?

Alerted by the National Resource Defense Fund, to the dangers of pesticides in food, Meryl founded Mothers and Others, and seven years later, in 1996, helped get the Food Quality Protection Act passed.

In 2015 she founded The Writers Lab, a screenwriter’s lab for women over 40—not surprisingly, unique, run by New York women in film and IRIS, a collective of women in film.

Also, in 2015, she wrote an open letter to Angela Merkel Nkosazana Diamani, the co-heads of the G7 and AU in South Africa, urging them, to support the One Campaign for women at the U.N. summit. She also had time to send a letter to every member of Congress imploring them to support the Equal Rights Amendment wih a copy of the book, Equal Means Equal: Why the Time for ERA is Now by Jessica Newirth, President of the ERA Coalition.

And importantly, she also co-narrated the film Girl Rising

In 2014, Streep received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Aside from her ability to “inhabit her characters so fully and compassionately,” President Obama also admitted: “I love Meryl Streep. Her husband knows I love her. Michelle knows I love her. There’s nothing they can do about it.”

Her mother’s influence has guided her, and she has supported a wide range of charities. Through her family foundation, The Silver Mountain Foundation for the Arts, she and her husband have donated millions of dollars and advocacy work to Oxfam, City Meals on Wheels, Coalition for the Homeless, The Actors Fund of America, Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids, The American Foundation for Aids Research, Segue Institute for Learning, Upward Bound, Indiana University Foundation, Brooklyn Poly Prep, Scenic Hudson, Children’s Health Coalition, Yale University School of Art, Center for Health and the Global Environment at Harvard Medical School, the Arthur Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, The Public Theater (in honor of her friend Nora Ephron), and her mother’s beloved Partners in Health…among others!

Perhaps what will illuminate Meryl Streep’s remarkable soul, purpose, and extraordinary productivity is what she has done in the four weeks preceding this writing: Meryl recounted historic speeches for the virtual summit celebrating the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment for The 19th, a national not-for-profit newsroom focused on the unfinished business of the 19th Amendment, giving (white) women, the right to vote.

Meryl also recorded a talking statue monologue for Monumental Women, an all -volunteer, non-profit organization bringing the first statue depicting real women, to Central Park.

She was nominated for an Emmy for “Big Little Lies”.

HBO picked up her new show, steven Soderbergh’s Let Them All Talk.

She restarted production on Ryan Murphy’s The Prom, co-starring her “Lies” co-stars, Nicole Kidman and Kerry Washington.

The German TV channel, ARTE, aired a new documentary about Meryl, entitled: Die unverstelte Göttin, or, The Genuine Goddess.

FASHION FIGURES IN THE FIGHT B Y B R O O K E K E L LY

The fashion industry has evolved in recent months, as many brands have shuffled to meet new demands, including more casual attire as well as fashionable and functional masks. And although the industry has suffered economically, many designers have stepped up to join in the fight against the virus by partnering with charities to help those most in need. The young women in these pages have led the charge, using their platforms and proceeds for the greater good—and making your shopping feel guilt-free.

In 2015, Amanda Hearst cofounded luxury online retailer Maison de Mode with Hassan Pierre, built around a passion for ethical fashion and a cleaner environment. The two were the perfect match: Hearst was writing about sustainable fashion for Marie Claire at the time, and Pierre had already started his own ethical fashion line.

Launching Maison de Mode allowed them to promote and amplify their mission of conscious consumerism. The platform features a collection of Ready-to-Wear apparel, jewelry, accessories, and home goods, all created by sustainable brands like AMUR. “The idea is to offer people an exclusive edit of the best sustainable items from these categories,” said Hearst. “So many people want to shop more responsibly, so we are offering them a destination to easily do so.”

Hearst’s passion for eco-friendly, cruelty-free fashion is deeply root-

ed. After participating in a Mississippi puppy mill rescue in 2010, Hearst discovered that her own beloved puppy Finnegan had been a victim of a mill, inspiring her to launch Friends of Finn, an organization dedicated to stopping cruel treatment of dogs in puppy mills. Building on this passion, Hearst cofounded the nonprofit Well Beings in 2018 with Breanna Schultz, uniting animal welfare and environmental protection throughout the globe through education and fundraising campaigns for under recognized issues. It was during one of these campaigns that Hearst learned that the cattle industry is one of the leading causes of deforestation in the Amazons, prompting her to shift her focus toward vegan and cruelty-free shopping.

As a result of COVID-19, Well Beings has also been campaigning to “stop the next pandemic” by preventing wild-

life trafficking in the rainforests, which has been linked to the spread of similar coronaviruses. In recent months, Maison de Mode launched a bracelet to benefit A Common Thread, a fundraising initiative spearheaded by Vogue and the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CDFA) to provide funds for those in the American fashion community who have been impacted by the pandemic.

Cofounders of Well Beings Amanda Hearst and Breanna Schultz traveled to the Amazon in Bolivia in February and visited animals, indigenous communities, and forests that have been harmed by manmade deforestation and fires during a trip for the organization’s “Protect the Amazons” campaign.

Valerie Macaulay, Meredith Melling, & Molly Howard / Lower Eastside Girls Club of New York FORMER VOGUE EDITORS editors Valerie Macaulay and Meredith Melling, along with former rag & bone executive Molly Howard, cofounded La Ligne in 2016, offering comfortable, quality stripe-centric clothing for women, ideally suited for today’s stay at home lifestyle. “We dress a woman who lives a full and busy life, so comfort and quality are essential,” explained Macaulay. Even so, understandably, as a small business it was not immune to the coronavirus, which initially presented the brand with challenges, from production and supply chain to sales. But as a direct-to-consumer company, they were in a unique position to quickly adapt new strategies, including—most importantly— ones to help benefit those most in need. “We were able to make changes and act quickly to shift deliveries, launch product on different days and add discounts where we could while giving to charity. At the beginning of quarantine, we launched our “giving back initiative, where we offered a 15% discount sitewide and

donated 15% of all sales to a different charity each week.

This was our way of giving back to multiple charities aiding the lives of those impacted by coronavirus on many different levels,” said Howard. These charities included Baby2Baby, World Central Kitchen, Food Bank for New York City, ROAR NY, among others.

As the situation continues to evolve, La Ligne is focusing on finding creative new ways to engage with its community— both virtually and through socially distanced events. In terms of giving back, the founders are prioritizing their long-term partnership with the Lower Eastside Girls Club (LESGC), which runs an arts, science, and civic engagement Center for Community for young women near the NYCHA housing projects. “Our partnership with the Lower Eastside Girls Club began in 2017 when we donated our Flight Suits to the organization’s fashion department for their October fashion show.

It was amazing to see how the girls reimagined our design using paint and embellishments to make their own creations and the confidence they exuded wearing them. They decorated our same Flight Suits again for their Bee Parade in May 2018 in celebration of World Bee Day. By this time, we had become regulars at their annual fundraiser and knew this was an organization we wanted to work with and support in the long term,” said Melling. When La Ligne decided to board up their Madison Avenue boutique in June, they used it as an opportunity to present the boards as “billboards of hope,” and commissioned five girls from the LESGC to create poetry explaining their feelings to hang on display to open the eyes of residents in New York City.

Comprised of 13 guestrooms and 19 suites (starting at $650 and $995), the hotel evokes a homey feel. The airy rooms are decorated with contemporary décor in a neutral colored palette, custom furniture like bronze elephant door knockers, and spacious bathrooms with marble tile and double sinks, with many featuring private balconies overlooking the pool area. There are also two multi-bedroom penthouse suites with large terraces and living rooms made for entertaining.

Situated in the former Bradley Park Hotel, the White Elephant Palm Beach is located on Sunset Avenue, within walking distance to the Atlantic Ocean, Royal Poinciana Way, and a quick drive to Worth Avenue.

Falling for Saddle River Most Are Aware that taking the George Washington Bridge from Manhattan into New Jersey places you directly into the center of bustling Bergen County, one of New York City’s wealthier “suburban” enclaves. What fewer realize, however, is that besides being home to a number of celebrities, captains of industry, and local and national politicians, therein also lies a small, bucolic borough named Saddle River, just five square miles in size, with a population of just over 3,000.

Although many may “know of” Saddle River, unless one was born and bred there (like yours truly), or spent the latter half of their life living there, few really know it.

When one thinks of New Jersey, “horse country” isn’t usually the first thing that springs to mind. But that is where Saddle River turns on the charm and proves the common thinker wrong. While remaining a bit of an unsung city escape, residents enjoy the luxury of beautifully manicured gardens, everyday entertaining, and large-parcel horse and agricultural farms—all with the convenience of a short, 20-minute ride into Manhattan, should it be necessary or desired. Because of its generous, 2-acre zoning, many homes sport proper English stables stocked with thoroughbreds, and occasionlly—with a bit of irreverence in mind—rescued miniature ponies or multifarious farm animals (see the lovely estate of Mrs. Lisa Dunn in the following pages, who graciously allowed us to photograph her and her daughter, Brianna, at their farm).

Over the years, we’ve had house guests aplenty. And by years, I mean since 1675, when Saddle River was established. Beginning with the Revolutionary War, soldiers would travel through and set up camp, including founding father and First President, George Washington, who famously stayed overnight on multiple occasions at Elizabeth Kurpis saddles up with a 1967 Austin Healey 3000 dressed in a 1970s psychedelic lurex dress from Morphew Vintage, a 1970s Chanel belt from MDVII, a LaViano Jewelers bangle and diamond drop earrings, and Sarah Flint shoes, at the estate of Mayor Albert Kurpis and Judy Kurpis.

Rumor even has it that these games weren’t the only time he ran around the bases, as he was known to keep more than a few girlfriends in town while here (wink, wink). Just as charming were Ernest Hemingway’s visits to the Joe Jefferson Club, a members-only fishing club catering to the excellent trout fishing on its property and those who appreciate it. Unfortunately, as is sometimes the case, the only path to membership exists once a current member either dies, or— less likely—retires their membership spot.

Our most famous resident, however, was undoubtedly President Nixon, whose house would be frequented by every child in town for treats on Halloween. He led a mostly private life, but because of Saddle River’s small-town nature, chance encounters occured. For instance, on a hot summer day in 1989, a friend and I were trying to sell wildflowers from a stand we set up on the side of the road (who needs lemonade, anyway?). Our inventory was moving pretty slowly, so to speak, until a black limousine pulled up and President Nixon himself got out to buy four flowers, stating that they were, “For his wife.” His gesture was not only hearteningly romantic, but in the hope that we would procure more customers, he encouraged us “not give up” on our business enterprise.

Unfortunately for us, the competition was stiff. Waterford Gardens, Saddle River’s local florist, also happens to be the country’s premier water lily and koi fish farm.

The lure of Saddle River doesn’t end there, of course. Besides all the remarkable barns scattered throughout town, the former Packer estate and surrounding cottages make up most of the commercial buildings. Barnstable Court, comprised of a collection of 11 buildings located in the 65-acre “Saddle River Historic District,” was even awarded a spot on the National Register of Historic Places. The most widely recognized of these structures is the celebrated Saddle River Inn. One of the top-rated restaurants in the State, it is housed in a barn built in 1791, with only 13 tables set on the ground floor and nine others on a small balcony overlooking the scene below. Owned and run by chef Jamie Knott (formerly Corporate Executive Chef of BLT Group), it exudes more of a private dining club feel than that of a restaurant. And the best part, besides the food and ambiance? It is BYO, with nary a corking fee in sight.

Seeing is believing, as they say, and in an effort to showcase the splendor of Saddle River, I enlisted the help of two of my oldest friends from town to shoot on location, dressed in the most beautiful Fall fashion finds, sourced from New York City’s Morphew Vintage (shopmorphew.com).

When Americans Won The Famous Fashion Face-Off Chris Meigher

Some thirteen years ago, after my daughter Elizabeth had convincingly persuaded me to support her launch of Q, a style magazine with pedigreed roots, I quickly realized that I knew little or nothing about the fashion industry. At the House of Luce, once nobly known as TIME Inc. I had run titles that covered news, sports, finance, entertainment and people.

But none of them approached the fastidious—and tricky— realm of the rag trade. (Luce’s wife, Claire, told me later in life that: “Harry basically thought fashion was frivolous ... until he met me.”) So I sought out the sage advice of professionals and pals throughout the fashion world who might “school me,”or at least keep me from making any stupid or costly blunders.

One of the most helpful and kind souls was Tom Fallon, a well-

placed fashion executive most respected for his tact and discretion—traits not always found back then on Seventh Avenue. During the mid-1960s and swinging Seventies, Fallon had worked for both Halston and Bill Blass. The working press often referred to Fallon as the “consigliere,” and I was immediately taken with his broad knowledge of, and keen sensitivity to, the industry’s more subtle nuances.

1973’s Fashion Battle of Versailles marked the emergence of American designers Oscar de la Renta, Stephen Burrows, Halston, Bill Blass, and Anne Klein (who brought along her assistant, Donna Karan), onto the world stage.

Rube that I was, I queried Tom as to exactly when it happened that authentic American style had finally made the full break from its more refined European influences. He gave me a quick, but precise tutorial on the postWWII growth of American casual attire, most clearly evidenced in our natural embrace of sportswear. Tom reflected for a bit and then modestly told me that he had played a very small part in what he believed was the seminal event that put American designers onto an equal footing with their international counterparts, most especially the French.

It happened on November 28th in 1973 during the first official Paris Fashion Week, when its now fabled opening night became known as The Battle of Versailles Fashion Show, pitting five of Franceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most celebrated designers (Givenchy, Ungaro, Pierre Cardin, Christian Dior and Saint Laurent) against a relatively unknown band of young Americans (Anne Klein, Bill Blass,

What began as not much more than a publicity stunt engineered by Eleanor Lambert to promote her clients, has mythically become—now 47 years later—the Woodstock of fashion shows. Tom Fallon, who was there helping to direct the American effort as Bill Blass’ assistant, calls it: “The accident that happened.” In the late Bill Cunningham’s book he squeakily hails it: “the most creative fashion show of the 20th Century.” It was fresh and it was fluid, and when Liza Minelli belted out the opening number there were ten black models sashaying behind her with an energy and style that the stiffer, more formal French models just couldn’t match.

A shaman may stop you outside of a restaurant like Bar Boulud and say that your aura hit her like an electric shock. Take her comment as a compliment, because what’s wrong with being an old soul in a young body? The stars say: Absolutely nothing. > Clark Gable: February 1, 1901

“All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players,” wrote William Shakespeare. But what did he mean? You’ve been served some “players,” but that’s not to say there aren’t honest—and great—people in the mix. You don’t always deserve what you get. > Jackie Kennedy: July 28, 1929.

Taurus Apr. 20 to May 20 Be careful this season as temptation will abound as the sun sets earlier and earlier each day. Quiet and sneaky strategy is your strong suit, but make sure your friends see you as a loving house cat and not a witch’s minion this Halloween. That would be spooky. > Audrey Hepburn: May 4, 1929.
