GUEST FASHION EDITOR: PATTI CORCORAN

Former owner of El Greco Cafe, with her father, George Soublis, for 17 years, Patti Corcoran never dressed casually — and she still loves being dressed up in a sexy dress and high heels. This mother of two is never seen without a pair of sunglasses on her head and a strand of pearls.

ST. JOHN PURSE
