Our annual public warehouse sale for irregular garments would draw more than 1,000 people, and we started opening St. John boutiques in various cities. In 1989 we sold 80% of the company to Escada. My husband's health was a bit shaky at that time, and he thought the best way to protect the family was to sell a portion of the company.

But gradually the office itself has become mobile and people are carrying iPads, laptops, a work phone and a personal one.

After hours of bobby-pin application to ensure perfect placement, suddenly these masterpieces were slipping down pretty heads. They looked less like sculptured works of art and more like demented pizza boxes covered in expensive fabrics. There's a fine line between fascinators and silly.
