With the impending claustrophobia and frivolity of New York Fashion Week only hours away, sometimes you just need to get away from it all.

From the upcoming for One and One for All: The Jumpsuit show in Phoenix: Yohji Yamamoto (center, right), Diane Von Furstenberg.

I try to get out to Phoenix at least once a year. It where my mother lives, and despite the fact that there are way too many golf courses where there should be saguaro cactuses, the city with its dry warm weather and sun scorched Camelback Mountain offers a beauty and a calmness that 1:1 replica handbags I certainly don get in New York.

This time when I visit, however, I will also be able to get my fashion/culture fix. for One and One for All: The Jumpsuit goes up at the Phoenix Art Museum in the Kelly Ellman Fashion Design Gallery on September 6 and runs until February, 2009. It promises to be as interesting as any show at the Met Costume Institute!
