Adore June 2020

FROM THE EDITOR

N ew Orleans has successfully faced its fair share of challenges. We know how to roll up our sleeves and push through to the other side, but this unprecedented global pandemic demands that we give our very best to the community. We're rising to the occasion. Wearing masks and limiting our social gatherings protect us all, especially the most fragile. As we find new ways to work from home, support our beloved restaurants, and enjoy our families and homes, our creative and caring spirit continues to shine. Writing about noted designer Melissa Rufty's beautiful work was a welcome distraction. I have long admired her talent. But as she talked to me about the artistry of our local craftspeople and the stunning furnishings she found on Magazine Street, I felt a great sense of pride come over me. We have such an astonishing city; it's truly like no other. So as I build my wardrobe of colorful masks and keep my social distance, I'm also training my sights on the businesses that need our support — now more than ever — and I'm filled with optimism.
