Downtown’s magnificent Madison Hotel is celebrating its 10th anniversary this holiday season, so we went on location to capture its renovated splendor — in the Presidential Suite, the lobby, and on the rooftop. Local retailers gave us a hand with clothes that perfectly suit the romance of old and new.
Bedtime Story
Our cozy couple is shamelessly glamorous in night wear. On her: Long jersey and lace nightgown, $98; matching robe, $118; from Soma in Laurelwood. On him: Grey pinstripe robe by Polo, $68; boxers by Tiger Mountain, $18.50; both from James Davis.
Relaxed moment
Sometimes down time means checking in on your iPad. White button-down by Thomas Deen, $115; silk bowtie by Robert Talbott, $85; Hiltl navy cords, $75; crocodile belt, $195; glasses by Eyebobs, $75; all from James Davis.
Mirror, mirror…
Restrained glamour allows the clothing to shine. “Carolyn” dress by Kate Spade, $478; blue polka-dot thigh-highs, $32; both from Kate Spade in Saddle Creek. Ivory leather opera-length gloves, $32, from Hoot + Louise South Main.
Here’s looking at you…
Killer looks come easy for these two. On him: Age of Wisdom skull sports shirt, $99.50, from Lansky 126. Wool plaid scarf, $99, JBrand grey denim, $220; both from Oak Hall. T-shirt, model’s own.
