NEW YORK – Last night at McNally Jackson Books, Fathom got together with publisher FSG on behalf of Rosecrans Baldwin's new book, Paris, I Love You but You're Bringing Me Down. In conversation with Sloane Crosley (I Was Told There'd Be Cake), he spoke about living the American dream in Paris, the art of kissing hello, and what Karl Lagerfeld looks like in real life. The Lillet rosé flowed and the macarons crumbled.
