STYLE IS POWER
ADAPTIVE DESIGN
When you control your appearance, you exert power over how people treat you.
With the challenges of Parkinson’s, Lewy Body Dementia and being dressed by someone else, that dignity vanishes.
Feeling unpresentable forces a retreat from life.
No more friends over, no more dinners out, no more matinées; no more errands, no more days in the park, fewer conversations, less stimulation. Less life.
As a caregiver, I am using my background in functional workwear, high end fashion and tailoring to re-establish style as source of dignity for my mother.
The challenges are real.
The necessity for convenience is real.
Style is more crucial than ever.
I am excited share these developments.
THE CAREGIVERS’ COOKBOOK
FEASTING WITH PARKINSON’S & DEMENTIA
As these diseases progress, everything gets harder.
The same level of caregiving requires more, even as you have less.
How you cook has to change.
How well you eat does not.
Food literally nourishes life. It also brings people to your table, reducing isolation.
This book comes from my challenges as a caregiver, and how I work around them, deliciously, making more with less:
Quick, inexpensive, easy to make/eat/clean/pause.
Muscle retaining, healthy (mostly).
Comforting, non-exotic ingredients, transformable leftovers, freeze-able.

ALL ABOUT BIBI
ARCHIVE OF A FEMINIST ARTIST NYC, 1968 - 1990
Bibi Lenček is an Italian-Slovene artist who holds an MFA from the Columbia University School of Arts, and studied under the direction of Alex Katz, Leon Golub, and Wayne Thiebaud.
Her figurative, feminist art responds to the world with a radical female sensibility. From paintings of fornicating couples entwined in bedsheets to large-scale pastels celebrate the sensuous abandon of a swimmer moving through water, Lenček’s work unabashedly revels in the beauty of the human body while challenging the tradition in which male artists depicted anonymous, idealized, and often eroticized female models.
A frequent contributor to the Women Artist’s Newsletter (1971-1983), she also served on the coordinating committee for Views by Women Artists, a series of 16 independently curated shows in 1982. Lenček was a board member of the NYC Women’s Caucus for Arts and in her later career went on to initiate Girl Talk, a pop-up curatorial collaboration in 2005 and 2013 at Gallery Gaia in Brooklyn.
