Plaidy of the Week: Lena Corwin
While shopping last spring for summer wedding ties, I came across author, illustrator, textile designer, and teacher Lena Corwin’s jazzy floral neckties, and I knew I’d found a style maven (she even made one for her wedding, pictured above). She has a fantastic blog, an even better store, and a killer eye. Come to find out, she lives in the neighborhood. If offered, Lena, I will be taking one of your printmaking classes sometime very soon. And here’s hoping she offers more ties like the ones pictured sometime in the near future. Let’s all support this wonderfully talented local artist and author. Keep up the great work, Ms. Corwin!

Lena’s wedding looked spectacular. I now keep my eyes peeled for Vera fabrics — scarves, linens, etc. And I was pretty keen on their “photo booth” set-up for friends and family.
What a lovely pair.

JP, Colleen ~ Those ties were made by Lena and her seamstress. I believe the fabric is deadstock. Dead-ringers for the old LP patterns, though, JP. Good call.
Helen ~ Are the ties made with fabric from The Vera Company?
