Designer Dennis Basso attended the Harper’s Bazaar Fabulous at Every Age Celebration last night at the Hearst Tower.  The women’s wear designer chatted up the finalists who were selected to be part of the Estee Lauder/Harper’s Bazaar contest, including the fabulous Margaret Bonner, an 102 year old fashionista who is a testament to loving fashion at every age.

Before Mr. Basso left the event, we asked him a few questions about his secret to being fabulous and what he’s coveting for the Spring.  Mr. Basso said in order to be fabulous, you have to ” Feel it! If you feel fabulous and it’s in your soul, you are halfway there.”

What are the five items you must have for this Spring?

1.  A Navy Blazer

2.  Brown Suede Bedford Loafers

3.  A Good Supply of Creed Royal Water

4.  A ton of button down shirts (French and Button Cuffs)

5.  Navy Blue Lacoste Polo Shirts
