Susan Tabak at the New York City Ballet 2007 Fall Gala

I have been an avid balletomane all my life.  In fact, I wanted to be dancer.  Since that was not my calling, I am a passionate fan and frequent attendee of The New York City Ballet performances and galas.  Now that I am in the fashion business, I have the opportunity to wear glamorous gowns to these events!

This year the Opening Night was indeed a glamorous affair.  The performance was a compilation of old and new ballets, and the creative aspect of a film in the program added a new dimension to the evening.

New Season, New Designers: Susan Tabak on Where to Splurge and Save this Season

Fall 2007 looks from Chanel

As seasons change and the air becomes crisp or even chilled with snow, many women begin looking through their closets and come to the conclusion that they have nothing to wear.  I am no exception, and although I have many clothes from previous seasons sitting in my closet, I still feel my wardrobe is never full enough. It is also my opinion that fashion is a form of self-expression and communicates who you are and how you are feeling.  Therefore, wardrobe updating is a reflection of the growth of a woman and the evolution of her personality over the past year.
