• New York Fashion Week- Two Weeks Late

    9.28.09

    Yes, New York Fashion Week Spring 2010 was over two weeks ago and we went to some shows and parties and talked to some fashion people. The tents at Bryant Park were a complete dog and pony show, replete with posers and people who just seemed to be in the tents enjoying the free coffee from McCafe, not necessarily going to any shows. Anywhoo.

    Why didn’t we post then, you ask? Well, I like to think it’s because we’re creative people, and creative people are non-linear (meaning, we were lazy and about to join AA, but that’s besides the point). We’re just non-linear. Below are a few photos that remind us of the blur that was Fashion Week:

    Sometimes, the programs have some great poems in them. Derek Lam’s was one of my favorites:

    Ode to Summer: something I heard on the radio

    Asbury Park, Rehoboth beach, P Town and Key West
    Patriotic, optimistic, free for all.
    A carnival
    carnal and a little bit tawdry. Glitter dust.
    Summer love. A summer fever, some bittersweet memories.
    I wish you were here.

    By the way, when I asked Carine Roitfeld (editor-in-chief of French Vogue) for an interview she told me, “We are in a discussion, sorry.” Just so everyone knows, this woman does not know (nor does she care to know) how to use a computer! Chew on that delicious fact for a second…

    There was a seating snafu at the Donna Karan show and they almost didn’t let me in. After much pleading and testimony that I was indeed a legit journalist, they let me in. I think in interviews for fashion PR girls, they do a physical examination on the spot to make sure you’re heartless. (Bitter, party of one, your seat is ready!)

    By the way, there was this Philipino (Filipino? Who knows?) cross-dresser–dressed in full regalia like a lady who lunches with pearls and a pillbox hat–who was SOOOO EXCITED to see Donna Karan. In. Person. that she (he?) kept elbowing me out of the way to get as close as possible to Donna Karan. In. Person. So after the seating snafu and cross-dresser incident, I went to my therapist straight away after the Donna Karan show, and if you have to go to yours after reading this post, I’m truly sorry.
