Last week we visited Manhattan to discuss distribution in the US. We spend a lot of time searching for the right retailers in the world. The quality level and personal service that our products need is hard to find these days. But in the end we always succeed! So far - in one year's time - we found great stores in more than 10 countries that sell Puredistance (if you want to know where, check out the list of Puredistance resellers).

We combined our trip with a photoshoot at the Belleclaire Hotel on the Upper West Side in one of their stylish 'round' rooms. The 1903 Belleclaire Hotel was one of the flashiest buildings of turn-of-the-century Manhattan.

(In 1900 Albert Saxe hired the young architect Emery Roth to design an apartment hotel on newly fashionable Broadway. The Belleclaire made a solid addition to the growing list of impressive, generally French-inspired apartment houses on Broadway. What set it apart was the outside: the fullest example yet of the Art Nouveau and Secession styles.)

We were happy to photograph Magdalena Rogowski and hope you enjoy the pictures we took.
