“I see inspiration in every single place – from the style flitting previous as I’m crossing seventh Avenue to the overgrown flowers exploding from the window bins of the brownstones of the West Village to the monkeys blinking again at my son and me as we wander via the tropical zone of The Central Park Zoo.
