It’s a beautiful, 80-degree day when fashion industry veteran Kerry Pieri and I sit down for coffee at Remedy House cafe. It’s a typical late summer morning in Buffalo’s Five Points neighborhood, and luckily the bumblebees don’t stop us from chatting on the patio. Ironically, we’re here to talk in part about the upcoming holidays-and how Pieri likes to host, in her new, yet old-fashioned, way.
