Carlos Souza Book Launch

There is nothing that I enjoy more than meeting an exciting author at an invitation-only book launch. Recently, I attended Valentino’s brand ambassador, Carlos Souza’s signing at Assouline, a jewel box of a book store housed in the Plaza Hotel. In his new book, Carlos’s Places, a colorful guide to his favorite places, food, fashion, and art, he conveys the joys of his peripatetic lifestyle.
