What amazes me is Daniel’s humbleness and appreciation for prayer. When I mentioned that I have prayed for every step of his way for last 10 years, he said “Thank You”. You and Fran raised a wonderful man, whose strength and talents a gift from God and he knows it too.
Such a wonderful honor. I know y’all were “busting buttons”, so proud of your son! I love this reading because I graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in clothing & merchandising, so I appreciate couture, not only from a historical standpoint, but from the needlework standpoint & textile standpoint, as well as the artistic standpoint. Such a treat to be able to watch his shows on YouTube & see your photos, as well. I would love to know the backstory of your seahorse pin & your wife’s pin. They are beautiful!
I normally try to answer comments more quickly. But we have been busy with family events.
The backstory on the seahorse is simply that Schiaparelli produced it from Daniel’s design a few years ago. I ‘borrowed’ it. But the dove pin is different. When Daniel designed Lady Gaga’s dress for Biden’s inauguration in 2020, he made the dove for her (Gaga). It is a dove of peace and Daniel said (at the time) that the dress and dove were a love letter to America. They made three of them at the time. She kept one. And he gave this one to his mother. (Daniel is extremely sweet and generous this way.). It is inscribed too.
She wears it to very special occasions, as was the award ceremony the other night.
Thank you for your time! Love the backstory, & special meanings of the pins! I remember Gaga’s dress at the time. My words would definitely be inadequate to show my appreciation of your son’s genius, but my eyes & heart appreciate his amazing creativity!
The seahorse is a Schiaparelli original. Amazing. I’ll post a comment about it soon.
