File Under: XMAS CHIC

C.O.G.A Directory: GUMPS ((San Francisco))

C.O.G.A Holiday Lifestyle Guide:

Tis the season for advent calendars, for dressing trees in ornamentation that's perfection. For holiday movie clubs & Santa Baby Playlist, for egg nog spiked, and winter coats that are chef's kiss. 'Tis the time for glam little holiday stockings over a fire place roaring, for Santa Caps and ugly sweaters that can be rendered anything but boring. Tis the time for 'Darling Bonnie's Definitely It XMAS List' and Nutcracker Tea at plush hotels. 'Tis the season for matte wrapping paper to be ripped open and wishing one another well. Have a very COGA holiday season and we'll see you here again next year!

Donyale Luna: Supermodel (Exclusively On max)

C.O.G.A Side Notes Via HBO: "Donyale Luna: Supermodel chronicles the remarkable life and career of Donyale Luna, the first Black model to grace the cover of both Harper's Bazaar and Vogue. Born Peggy Ann Freeman in Detroit, Michigan, Luna became a larger-than-life character who broke barriers in the fashion industry, challenged the prevailing ideals of beauty, and influenced culture — all before her untimely death at age 33."

File Under: Iconic Establishments

THE BERGDORF GOODMAN EDIT:

C.O.G.A Style Notes: It's not about what you do, but how you do it, and when it comes to first rate American Department stores still capable of producing a fashionable shopping experience drenched in magic, there's Bergdorf Goodman! As Our Lady of Great Costuming Pat Field Stated:

"Bergdorf still hold's that sense of tradition & doesn't stomp all over it with some kind of square foot or dollar entity."

C.O.G.A Lifestyle Guide -

If one doesn't find themselves in a position to drop in, as there's only one location, bring Bergdorf into your home with the following acts of engagement: 1. Snapping up the 'Scatter My Ashes At Bergdorf Goodman' book and immersing oneself in it's pages before giving it proper placement on your coffee table!

2. Follow that up with a purchasing x screening of the 'Scatter My Ashes' docu, where you sip bubbly from Miranda Kerr Champagne flutes, serve delectable spreads that will allow for crumbs to be dabbed away from YSL Rouge Painted Lips with Baccarat x Kim Seybert cocktail napkins, Close the evening with Bialetti x Dolce Moka made coffee x Homemade Borgo De' Medici Tiramisu and conversations regarding Betty Halbreich & the role that Bergdorf played in the scenes x success of the Sex & The City + it's wardrobe dept!

3. & should one find themselves feeling truly Bergdorf splurgy & inspired, then I'd advise indulging in the Darling Bonnie designed 'Entirely TOO expensive Curated List For The Bergdorf Gals ((& Those Who'd Like To Be))' chock full of Bergdorf Goodman merchandising. Do all of this whilst donning an ensemble of which even Linda Fargo would approve.

File Under: C.O.G.A Cellars

Italy Miani Merlot Filip (2012)

C.O.G.A Side Notes (courtesy of Selfridges):

‘Since Enzo Pontoni took over the Miani family business in the latest 80s, he has been putting his engineering background to use as he creates his world-class wines. He produces 4000 bottles a year of Friulano, one style of which is this Filip merlot - the result of a limit harvest that's barrel-fermented before spending almost a year in oak. Deep and fleshy with plum, raspberry jam and pomegranate at the front.’

C.O.G.A Lifestyle Guide:

One should always be building a prime selection of choice wines, your cellar needn’t be vast to be divine. Choosing to occasionally pluck just the ripe grape from just the perfect vine to be stored for the proper moment when one is to celebrate the joy’s of a chic life, we think glamorous treats such as the Italy Miani Merlot wine should be on hand for such a time.

PRET-A-PORTER (1994)

C.O.G.A Fashion Film Library Side Notes Via Google: During Paris Fashion Week, models, designers and industry hot shots gather to work, mingle, argue and try to seduce one another. American television personality Kitty (Kim Basinger) unsuccessfully vies to keep up with the high-fashion types. Journalists Anne (Julia Roberts) and Joe (Tim Robbins) skip out on most of the festivities in favor of a hotel room tryst. And fading icons Sergei (Marcello Mastroianni) and Isabella (Sophia Loren) hope to rekindle a romance from decades ago

C.O.G.A To Do List:

1. Host a screening of Robert Altman’s 1994 cult classic ‘PRET-A-PORTER 2. Hold a post film forum on the films full blown high style forray 3. Enact a vintage treasure hunt for at least 3 of the prized pieces found in the film 4. Hold a soiree in their honor.

File Under: Legends Live Forever

C.O.G.A Side Notes: Tatjana Patitz (1966-2023) Out Of The Woods Fashion Profiled via VIDEOFASHION! circa 1992.

C.O.G.A Lifestyle Guide:

Of course today being environmentally sound and conscious is de rigueur but let us practice, as Tatjana did, not that which is the latest cultural trend but rather that which is eternally chic and privately driven by our personal spiritual rhythms, transcending the moment and honoring that which, like Tatjana, will be fly forever.

3 shining signs taken from the life of Tatjana Patitz

1. Take time for proper off seasons

2. Remain Imaginative

3. Honor that which is best for your spiritual well being
