Center44's Shout Out - "Obsession Knows No Bounds"

         Obsession Knows No Bounds . . .

. . . especially when it comes to shoes!  The completely refurbished Shoe Salon at Bergdorf Goodman has just reopened to great buzz,  The perennially amazing design team of Susan Homan and Linda Fargo, deftly joined by James Aguiar, found many fabulous items at Center44 to enhance the space. 

While attending the launch of the new line of clothing and accessories by Kelly Wearstler (who happens to be another cherished C44 client), we had a chance to grab a quick look at the results on the second floor - and it's a knockout.  (We'll do a full feature on the space in the near future.)


Though not yet lit, the central display highlights an extraordinary smoky Murano  glass tower floor lamp, c. 1960, by Mazzega, which came from C44 boutique Quotient Fine Furnishings.

Susan Homan, James Aguiar, Jim Tindell and Paul Plumadore at the Kelly Wearstler launch.

       Heard in the Aisles - Song of the Week

 "How'm I Doin'" by Mountain Man

 

Mountain Man is a three-gal group that specializes in haunting, heavenly harmonies and atmospheric Appalachian a cappella arrangements. Molly Erin Sarle, Alexandra Sauser-Monnig and Amelia Randall Meath met a couple of years back in rural Vermont while attending Bennington College and began singing together at house parties.

 
They are mutually moved to sing by their love for people, and for trees, birds and mountains, the ocean, the night, the moon, and being a woman. Their 2010 debut album, Made The Harbor, was recorded in an abandoned ice cream parlor from the turn of the 20th Century and combines folk, country and traditional American music influences. "How'm I Doin'" is a cover of an old Aaron Sisters song from the 30's and is perfect for driving around upstate to watch the leaves change or just kickin' back in your rocker on the front porch. "How'm I Doin'" was featured on Monica's September 11th show on WFMU and is available on both Amazon and iTunes.
