Query:
When developer Keith Rubenstein put his townhouse on the Upper
East Side on the market for $79.5m, one detail stood out among
many: his wife's custom purse display unit where she can
simultaneously store and showcase her favorite Birkins & co. It
was a true VIP WIC. But she isn't alone - increasingly, the
closet of a luxury mansion has become a bragging right, or at
least a key amenity, for any smart homeowner.
There are new, over-the-top details that are becoming must-haves
in any new WIC, for example: color-corrected LED lighting that
simulates daylight, or a watch-winder built into the drawers.
Perhaps the standard safe has been replaced with one that
features electromagnetic-proof walls for cryptocurrency storage.
There could be a full bar, too, with wine fridge ice maker, and
all cocktail making fixings, plus an espresso machine right
there, too. Or just a lovely secret door for kids to clamber
inside that leads to tunnels throughout the home.
I'd like to hear about any such OTT VIP WIC. We want to look at
the trends in pimping up or upgrading closets so that even these
areas - which are out of the public eye in a home - must be
sumptuously outfitted today. Mirrors that record how you look
in a certain outfit to check the 360-degree view, perhaps, or an
archive in which people can store a record of when and to what
event an outfit was stored? Are purse displays a new trend,
and if so, what are the features common to them? What other
new assets are designers adding to the 1%'s walk in closets to
make them even more luxurious than before? You get the idea.
I'd like to speak to interior designers, real estate pros and
anyone who can give concrete, specific examples of how closets
are being upgraded. We're looking for lavish, unexpected details
rather than simple finishes or a larger footprint. Please send a
single para pitch with 2 or 3 examples of the specific details
you or your client would like to highlight.
Requirements:
Please mark subject line: VIP WIC No attachments, please - all
emails with attachments will be deleted unopened. Please reply
directly to me here rather than responding via other methods or
channels.

According to the following study,

states with more restrictive reproduction policies see higher

answers on this study.

restrictions on reproductive rights, there are negative
outcomes. Explain why a state would still choose to go this
route.
2. Please provide details on how these restrictive policies can
affect women, especially disadvantaged women (those without
health insurance) or women of color?
3. The study clearly shows that black women have higher rates of
poor pregnancy outcomes under these policies. Why do you think
that is?
4. What options should a woman pursue if she is dealing with an
unwanted pregnancy while living in one of the 10 most
restrictive states?
