So proud of my friend and colleague, Tom Julian. And so happy we could be part of his special day in Pittsburgh as he was honored with a fashion icon award at the beautiful Omni William Penn hotel. Pittsburgh is a gorgeous river town – exemplified best this weekend by the four-story art duck floating on the water at the River Point Park.

Calm, casual Tom, as we arrived Saturday afternoon.
