"I think everybody's life is interesting. When you really look into it, everything is an adventure. I am learning while I am writing." Beatrix Ost

Beatrix had me when she claimed that her greatest inspiration is the warmth of people. I have thought about it so many times since. It’s such a joyful and open way to live life, and you can see it in her glow and feel it in her presence. She is the living embodiment of style, and being in her space puts me on a high. Not only does she give attention to every detail of her apartment, cooking, painting, and writing, but more then anything, I wish I could get it together to design my own clothes like she does. Her farm in Virginia is equally as amazing. Nothing that she owns or does is without meaning. She supported a family of Tibetan monks for a year, by commissioning them to make the rug that is now in her living room, and the rug is inscribed from a page in her personal notebook! I am most obsessed with Beatrix’s long and purple-tinted, snow white hair and fantasize about my own looking like that one day.

Beatrix’s favorite designers are Comme Des Garcons, Vivienne Westwood, Azzedine Alaia, Yohji Yamamoto, Ronaldus Shamask, and Philip Treacy. She can’t live without her lipstick, and her signature’s are her rings and ankle boots. Her first book is called “My Father’s House: A Childhood in Wartime Bavaria”

Beatrix’s Favorite stores are Barney’s, Issey Miyake, Christie’s, Mood Fabrics, IF Boutique, INA, Tokyo Joe, Tokio 7, Resurrection, and Yu.

    I just came out of MADD museum, I was looking at the pgm. when I got home and saw that a class by Ari Seth Cohen had just taken place…so I looked him up on his Blog and saw his association with Beatrix…the funny thing is I had just seen Beatrix in the Subway about a week ago and was taken by her captivating style and stature. I knew she had to be a style Icon. I completely respect and honor the thought and time it takes to walk in the world as ART, because I come from that same space.

    I had just turned 50 and was feeling a little blue about my fading youth. Then I happened upon such a joyous photograph of Beatrix, the one where she’s wearing her emerald green turban with the beautiful matching corsage, smiling her wonderful smile, and I knew I had to find out more about her. I closely examined every picture I could find, watched the lovely video on this website, read an excerpt from My Father’s House (can’t wait to read the whole book), and now I can say without exaggeration that Beatrix has not only helped me come to terms with my age, but I’m actually looking forward to the next decennia! I’d love to thank her, she’s more than just an inspiration, she’s changed my whole life. And I think it’s so cool that she’s a Buddhist! And has the wisdom to understand and forgive those closest to her, not something everyone is capable of. Her life seems enchanted to me. Am I gushing?? Sorry! But what a classy lady.
