Blackstone Fashion Week: Signs of Complacency?
I hate to spoil the mood, but the familiar mix flavour of Wall St. and fun asthetics smells like troubles ahead!

From Bloomberg (21/06/07)

 

At a June 14 luncheon at Manhattan's Pierre Hotel, Blackstone transformed the baroque ballroom into a setting more suited to a fashion show, complete with neon blue lighting, floral arrangements towering four feet high and dozens of event staff outfitted in white shirts, ties, vests, pants and jackets. Blackstone accented the white vases and seat cushions with its black BX ticker symbol.
