I hated the color green for a long time. I wouldn’t consider wearing green clothes. Then, suddenly, something changed and I loved green.
That might be due to Zang Toi, who got me into this gown for the 2006 Oscars. I suspect I couldn’t resist the matching peacock-feather fan.

Once I committed to green, I was all in. In fact, the weekend I wore the Zang gown, I bought a green Lillie Rubin dress that I wound up wearing to Vanity Fair’s Oscars party … ten years later.
Click for my recent post with two more photos of this dress.
This picture of me in a green Ossie Clark dress is also from 2006.

I’ve acquired more green clothes since then, especially from Zang.

One of my favorite gems is the green garnet known as tsavorite. I often use it in my designs.
