Armenian Designer Enlivens Boston Fashion Industry

Stepping into a Samuel Vartan dress is a transporting experience. Nevermind that one is perhaps, as I was, in his studio near the Fresh Pond Mall on a dark and dingy winter’s day.

The warm breeze on my face, I smiled into the sunset, until I opened my eyes and remembered that I was in Boston. In March.
