I met Thierry Rogers about 3 years ago and was so in awe of him and his knowledge of fashion design.  His history, reaching back into Paris then to Chicago, is full of fabulous stories and a twinkle in his eye.  One can walk away with an exceptional new theory in whatever your walk of life is!  Here's to many new friends, Thierry, and outstanding new designs!!!
