About Sally Horchow

Sally Horchow has been called a "Lifestyle Guru," a "Trend Expert" and even a "Pop Culture Diva." Whatever the title, Sally is a writer and TV personality who shares her first-hand experience in living well, hunting for unique places and things, and bringing people together - all with an astute eye and a witty point-of-view.

Fusing her expertise in entertaining, connecting, design, fashion, food, etiquette, and travel, Sally goes beyond the cult of "lifestyle" and "good things" in her mission to redefine the concept of Quality of Life.

About Roger Horchow

Samuel Roger Horchow (born July 3, 1928, in Cincinnati, Ohio) is a catalog entrepreneur and Broadway producer.

In 1971, Horchow started The Horchow Collection, the first luxury mail-order catalog that was not preceded by a brick-and-mortar presence. He sold the Horchow Collection to Neiman Marcus in 1988.

In 1992, he produced his first Broadway show, Crazy for You, a George Gershwin musical, for which he won the Tony Award for Best Musical. The London version of Crazy for You won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical. Though Crazy for You was inspired by an earlier Gershwin musical, Girl Crazy, which opened in 1930, theater critics and the American Theater Wing ultimately considered it to be a "new musical." Crazy for You was directed by Mike Ockrent and choreographed by Susan Stroman.

In 2000, Horchow and co-producer Roger Berlind staged a revival of Cole Porter's Kiss Me, Kate, for which he won his second Tony Award, for Best Musical Revival.

His latest production, Curtains, a musical comedy featuring the music of Kandor and Ebb (Cabaret), opened in Los Angeles this summer and will move to Broadway after its Los Angeles run.

Horchow is a member of The Hill School Class of 1945. In 2002 he received the school's highest alumni honor, The Sixth Form Leadership Award. Horchow was awarded an honorary doctorate by his alma mater, Yale University, in 1999, and is a subject of The Tipping Point (Little, Brown, 2000) by New Yorker writer Malcolm Gladwell.

Horchow is the author of three books, The Art of Friendship: 70 Simple Rules for Making Meaningful Connections, Elephants in Your Mailbox: How I Learned the Secrets of Mail-Order Marketing Despite Having Made 25 Horrendous Mistakes (Times Books, 1980), and Living in Style: In A Time When Taste Means More Than Money (Rawson Assoc, 1981).
