A Fond Farewell

to Mayle. To me, it feels a bit like the end of an era. I remember when Jane Mayle opened her first store with her line Phare (pronounced FAR) in an area that we used to just call Little Italy- ha!- before it was trendy. I worked with her line when I was an editor at Mademoiselle and recall going to see the collection at her ridiculously charming apartment. I can’t be too sad- I’m sure Jane has something pretty great up her sleeve- but I am glad to have the Mayle dresses in my closet that will never go out of rotation.

    Sad to hear this news… I only own one Mayle blouse – which I adore and never seems to go out of style. Just last week I was admiring it’s exceptional workmanship (those French seams!) Jane Mayle would probably top my list of living designers to meet, please keep us posted on her next move!
