Nile Style
After returning my newly repaired watch to the watchmaker ( I dropped it 10 seconds after picking it up) I ran into Nile on my way to the gym.
"Did you see Mariah's wedding dress? I made it."
"Holy shit!"
"Yeah, I'm having a moment, how are you? You look skinny." (some people know just what to say)
"I'm great. Here's my number"
"I'm late for the office. Bye!" (It was 4:30 PM)
Of all the people I met during my stint at Sex And The City I would have to say that Nile had the most talent. She is a master tailor . She taught me volumes about alterations, sleeve headers and collar stands. She is one of those mega talents behind the hyper-perfect fits that so many stars are known for. She just got back from Cannes, working with a client on the promotions for her new movie. A tailor can be that important...when the tailor is Nile. That's how good she is. Mariah's wedding dress? - ker-plunk...I hit the sidewalk.
I escorted Nile on a date only once. I brought her a wrist corsage and a trend was born. Bill Cunningham took our picture and we were in the Times the next day. If only they still called it the "Rotogravure." A year later I saw a girl selling them like cigarettes out of a tray hanging around her neck on the street in Soho. A little hand made sign said, "Sex And The City Wrist Corsages." -
Love Nile - together we're too much.
wait...s.j.p. and mr. winkles together !!??. did i miss that episode ??!!
meanwhile that dress ain't so expertly tailored girl ...please provide a
better illustration of
miss niles handiwork.
I put that pic up there because of the wrist corsage - barely seen, i
agree. ...and yes that IS Mr. Winkles. You have to remeber that SJPis a
size zero (european)
I LOVE Nile! You know she has been gold leafing her apt for years...
