Earlier in the week, I had the pleasure of visiting one of the finest Art Deco buildings ever constructed, Walker Tower.  I was thrilled to end my week with another Art Deco experience . . . . Celebrity Fashion Designer Richard Lowes' glamorous soiree called "Deco Decadence" for the Art Deco Society of New York.

Mr. Lowe has been duly appointed for enthusiastically gathering the next generation of Art Deco lovers, increasing membership and mixing today's high society with yesterdays stylized decadence.  It was a perfect misty New York night, truly DECO inspired - glowing moon, crisp air and cool jazz souonds humming in the background of the lower level lounge.

"When one chooses to dress, why not go where others can appreciate it", says Richard Lowe III, the well dressed man who hosted the glamorous event.  Cocktails, nibbles and lots of admiration for everything DECO.
