Young woman working
in the restaurant last night
asked me to tell her about
my coat. An FIT student
she admired the way it was cut
and I told her how 25 years ago
I was 25 years younger
walking down the street
on the Lower East Side
a man ran up to me and said
he was Alix Singer Russian clothing designer
he’d made a coat for a woman
in Italy who didn’t want it
she was my size and even though
it was handmade he would
give me my coat for $100 and I
tried on the coat and never had
anything like it before and wrote him
a check for $100 and said goodbye.
I wonder if that could happen now.
We need to see a photo!!
This is a very charming story. I love imagining this coat.
