Hot Mamas
This just in: super-moms are the new supermodels. At least that was the message at STRUT: The Fashionable Moms Show, in which high-powered mamas (including our own Melanie Charlton Fascitelli!) rocked the catwalks at Mercedes-Benz fashion week. The event featured some of our favorite fashion world peeps, including Stephanie Winston Wolkoff and Rent the Runway's Jenny Fleiss, decked out in some seriously hot little numbers. Naturally, the bustling backstage was stocked with our signature hangers.

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous hardware!
And how could it not be? We teamed up with The Nanz Company, the luxury hardware manufacturer, to develop the most beautiful, high-quality closet accessories. The seven piece collection is available in an array of stunning fishes at any Nanz showroom. (Check out some of them below. Would you go for the polished chrome? The antique gold? Ah, decisions, decisions).
And how could it not be? We teamed up with

Nanz began manufacturing hardware that was required for high-end restorations but was no longer available. We've built the business around classic product designs that are both beautiful and well-made.

Nanz was already making door hardware, cabinet hardware and bath hardware. We knew closet hardware was a category in which we were interested. It was perfect when my builder friend introduced me to Melanie, the closet authority for high-end designers. Better still when I met this charming dynamo who even made me more excited about the possibilities. Melanie and I had a lot of fun creating the line and were delighted that our clients have been so enthusiastic about our ideas.

Through her experience Melanie had identified some very specific client needs. Our aim was to make the best hardware we could given her goals. The result was convenience provided by a well-designed, coordinated hardware system. We look forward to continuing to meet our clients goals with more great collaborations.

Pin Down Bladder Cancer
Dear Readers,
I rarely do a personal outreach for a charity, but cancer is something that touches us all. My own father died of colon cancer, and my aunt of breast cancer. In my father’s case, early detection could have saved his life.
This is why I am so passionate about Pin Down Bladder Cancer, a new campaign focused on raising money and awareness for this startlingly underfunded disease. Though bladder cancer is the fourth most-common cancer in men and fifth overall, it gets 10-20 times less funding than the other top five most common cancers. It is also the most expensive cancer to treat on a per-patient basis.
Join me in the fight to raise funds and awareness by purchasing a “Pin Down Bladder Cancer” pin here and wearing it throughout the month of July. All proceeds will support bladder cancer research at Memorial Sloan-Kettering.
Your support can help bring this killer to its knees –and give someone the chance my father never had.
Thank you,
Melanie Charlton Fascitelli
