High Line Hotel/NYC
The Ecclesiastical underpinnings of the now Highline Hotel-is a spacious-serene setting to pause and think about the clothes we were looking at-by designer Katie Gallagher.

But here we did.

The illusory essence of the word Fantasm captures the idea of seeing the true complexion of something just before it fades away — like the changing appearance of naturally occurring elements like dew or smoke just before they diminish into transparency or the faint luminance of a memory just before it disappears from one's mind.
