"I am NEVER leaving Texas. We hit up the inimitable Stanley Korshak yesterday, and on the third floor, we had a kismet moment: Kate and Laura Mulleavy, designers of Rodarte, were sitting on a couch in midst of a trunkshow! This is their fourth season of making the most couture-ish garments gracing the American market, and I can&amp;amp;#8217;t help but think that they&amp;amp;#8217;re the next Great American Designers. Anyway, we chatted with Kate and Laura and they were positively enchanting and enlightening. Still in their mid twenties, they are so smart and visionary that I can&amp;amp;#8217;t wait to watch their already-meteoric career develop. Next, on to Fortyfiveten, Dallas style emporium, where I saw more clients with Birkin bags than are found in the Hermes store on Madison Avenue. It was my kind of store: stocked with Dries van Noten, Marni, Veronique Branquino, and Comme des Garcons. Finally, we hit up, yes, the hotel pool for an hour of planning our segment on The Tyra Banks Show and sunning (with SPF 50, naturally). For dinner, we tried a genius restaurant called Local run by two astounding women with sublime taste in food and design. Was it hard to wake at 5 for Good Morning Texas? Absolutely. Gotta go tape NBC for tonight&amp;amp;#8217;s 10 o&amp;amp;#8217;clock news! &amp;amp;#8212;Ashley"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
