Dear Shaded Viewers,
My dear friend, photographer Pat Kurs is in town for a few days so I went to meet her at Toraya, my favorite Japanese tea salon. She showed me one of her new subjects for the next series that she is doing.
Take passed by to discuss his new project. Probably I know both Pat and Take longer than I know anyone else outside of my family. Pat I know from NYC, she was the top stylist working with Avedon and Newton, etc. and Take I know from when I visited Tokyo with my collection in l985 and he wrote about me. They both don’t understand why I ever stopped designing. Pat used to work a lot with Helmut Newton and now she would like to sell a few of her prints. I put her in phone contact with Sascha Lilic, RdC of ABOVE magazine as he worked with and was very close to Helmut Newton as well.
Later,
Diane
