Can I tell you...about Ann Caruso.
Ann Caruso with her #AnnRattanTote in Manhattan.
I first met Ann Caruso when she was working at Ralph Lauren back in the mid 90’s. Our paths crossed again when she was at Vogue and featured one of my designs in the magazine. She has continued to style shoots for Vanity Fair, Town & Country, Oprah Magazine, and Harper’s Bazaar as well as dress celebrities like Elizabeth Hurley, Oprah Winfrey and Katherine Heigl.
As a two-time breast cancer survivor and activist, Ann is a survivor and an inspiration. She has remained positive, compassionate and resilient. This season I named a bag after her; inspired by her effortlessly chic and feminine style.
