Hi Ryan here and i’m posting a picture of E working in her coat. she has an enormous collection of these coats and i’ve been taking pictures of her wearing them for so long…
Q. Emerson, how many of these coats do you have in your collection. it seems like a lot. in fact it seems like the collection grows every time i look?
A. Ryan, thank you for your Q. i have 24 of this particular style of coat in my collection. it didn’t happen all at once of course i’ve been collecting this very particular style of leopard print for many years at auctions and vintage markets around the world. i purchased my 6th at 16 so you get a sense of how long i’ve been at this collection. but! but you’d be amazed at the variation. and you know it’s all about variation. just like it is with great heels. variations = collect. onwards, do you remember the little leopard blouse we made from last spring? that was this very particular leopard print. well this year we’re doing more of it and thats a selfish thing because its for my own wardrobe as much as our collectors. i seem to need more of it. i have a problem perhaps? perhaps no.
FAQ. do you have a place in nyc/what neighborhood?
A. Hi Reader, thank you for your Q. the bowery hotel is our second home and they are like family as we’re here much of the time. to me theres no better place on earth than bowery hotel but we do keep thinking about about getting another place here because we produce line and have to work here in manhattan. but you know we also travel so often for EM at this point its nice to not have to maintain anything. we’ve got enough to maintain as it is with the business and Pedros farm. this is what i tell myself when i talk to my friend anna who’s in real estate and keeps filling my inbox with tempting listings
for what neighborhood- we’ll always be downtown. Brooklyn’s great too and my beautiful sisters over there but yes we’re staying in downtown manhattan by the looks of it
Q. Dear Pedro, what kind of shampoo do you use? how do you keep your hair so silky?
A. Reader, thank you so much i really appreciate that. i do not use a particular kind as i like to try out many in my evening baths. in fact you could call me somewhat of a one night stand or even an orgy-esque user when it comes to maintaining the fur. the other night i tried out several at once. one that smelled of roses and my god what a lathery scent was created. lathery, bubbly heaven on earth. i’ll probably get back on that rose one later this week. after that its citrus.

ok thank you for your Q’s readers! who wants a tea break before getting back to business. some dark tea and an herbal cigarette… of course not the latter! i don’t do that puffing except sometimes! and i mean rarity! at the latest night of occasions after a dinner on the street or some such thing and not even a full puff. a half puff. ok no puff! alright! no puff except enough to make a little smoke! but when the tea arrives into my hand i’ll think about the combination and thats a fact
ok onwrds and thank you readers!
