My friendship with Figue designer Stephanie von Watzdorf had started in Marrakesh with talk of genies and the evil eye -- talk that had never ended.  

So I swapped the Red City for the Big Apple and found myself in the Figue showroom. 

Oh! Gorgeous bohemian luxury.

With cool places to lounge.

And fascinating things from Stephanie's travels...

There were masses of candles...

And (yippee!) stacks of my book, Marrakesh by Design.

But more than all that, there were the clothes.

Because you see Stephanie's vision of nomadic luxury translated from paper....

to real life....

A flurry of gorgeous prints, leather fringed bags

and luscious puddled silks....

There was even an inkling of what was to come....

And most exciting.... there were rumors that the Figue Fall campaign would be shot in Marrakesh....

Not to be missed.....Figue.

 Shop online. Or visit by appointment for a far greater selection.  If you're lucky, you might even run into Stephanie and her little dog, Dash.
