A delightfully, unexpected lunch invitation to the Bowery Hotel in Soho with Sophie Theallet and Steven Francoeur.  Christine Clemer and I took a chance to meet her, as she is the focus of our retail project this semester - we must research her line of exquisite fashions and design an appropriate boutique and atelier.  Lunch of paninis and pizza, white wine and aragula salad was delicious, and the bohemian flair of the hotel a perfect setting.
