Ayumi on Japan
The lovely Ayumi and I met while taking a course during the Summer of 2004 at Parsons School of Design- she was my roommate. Ayumi, the lucky one, was continuing on that fall to obtain a degree in Interior Design from Parsons (I thought many times that summer about transferring). I had never lived with anyone from a different country before and it was truly an amazing experience. I loved...

Lauren was most recently featured on the March 2011 Town and Country magazine cover for...
