“ Late afternoon warmth beckons curled bodies to crawl from buzzing studios. Come, play beneath the closing sky! Emerald blades of grass begin their sigh into a softer amber, suggesting the beginning of a perennial end. Soon bicyclists will zip past in blurred commuter flashes, but today, all passerby shimmer and mosey. Maybe tomorrow, too. New York wants to linger. “
“ Dancing in hues of ivory, petals cling to their chests without desperation. Draping the boys in knits and ivory, Natalie Ayers dances on the precipice of seasons with her styling. Tartans and loafers remind of academia and structure and hot coffee’s stealthy approach. Yet the lemonade air has still not given way to the apple crisp breezes to come. And summers will always live in their bones, the smell of charcoal grills and citrus that can’t be washed away.”
