Wall Street Folly

In response to the NY Post piece on Richard Perry’s bedazzled terrace, Vogue.com recalled a piece they did in 2002 featuring the interior of the Perry’s 1 Sutton Place South home.  It’s white.  Lots of white.   Everywhere. (Or at least it was, back in 2002.)  Read the rest of this entry »
