Speaker 1 (00:07):
Hi everyone, I'm Rachel So and you're listening to Climbing
in Heels for your weekly dose of glamour, inspiration and
of course fun. This week, I am reporting to you
live from the one and only New York Fashion Week.
The week is definitely not over yet, and we've already
been through like two different snowstorms and of course tons
(00:28):
of events.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
And you know, I don't recommend.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Wearing sheer fabric gowns and eiden sheels in a blizzard.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
But you know, here we are.
Speaker 1 (00:37):
I am who I am. I asked my followers to
submit some fashion week questions, so I'm going to answer
as many as I can.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Let's jump right into it. Okay, what time are shows
typically am? PM? And how long do they last?
Speaker 1 (00:56):
It used to be when I started Mark Jacob show
is like a night show and it would be like
eight or nine, or it would be called for eight
and would start at nine and then he started exactly
on time to the minute, and if you did not
get there, you missed the show.
Speaker 2 (01:11):
But the earliest show is.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
Typically nine am or ten am. The lash I remember
being nine am was the row. And you have to
be a show that everyone wants to see. To do
it at nine am during fashion week because a lot
of people end up sleeping through it if they had
a rough night the night before. And the shows themselves
(01:36):
are so short. It's like eight minutes to fifteen minutes,
depending on the number of looks, but really really short.
And I always say it's kind of like doing a
wedding where you just work so hard on this event
and then it's literally over in ten minutes.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
It's bizarre.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Actually, Okay, what are my thoughts on the Calvin Klein collection.
I think it's super and very old school Calvin, Like
it kind of feels like not that much time has passed,
but it feels very Calvin Klein Calvin. So for those
of you that are fashion people and kind of know
(02:13):
that Calvin himself has not designed directly for Calvin in many,
many years, probably at least probably fifteen years. I would
think Francisco Costa was there for eight years, and then
Ralph Simmons briefly, and now there's a new designer there
who I think did a really beautiful collection, honestly, very
(02:36):
wearable and very true to Calvin. And I think the
way you know that is you see that you know
the old school muses. We're all there, like Christy Turlington
and Kate Moss. I mean, it was a really big deal.
Aaron Wasson was there, and I thought it was really
chic and really cool. I mean, I really liked it,
(02:56):
and I think there's a big.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Future there for it.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Okay, which do you like better? New York Fashion Week
or Paris Fashion Week? I mean, you know, I hate
saying it because I.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Am a true New Yorker at the core.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
However, I'm pretty sure nothing can really compete with Paris
Fashion Week, and I think anyone would probably tell you that,
whether it's ready to wear or couture. And I think
even just if you base it on, like walking out
of a show in the Tuilery Garden, it's like your
whole you just gasp for air. And as many times
as I've been to Paris for fashion Week, it's never
(03:33):
it never gets old.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
I mean it's just magical.
Speaker 1 (03:36):
I just breathe differently in Paris. Okay, what are your
must visit places during fashion Week?
Speaker 2 (03:44):
You know it's funny. I don't get a lot of free.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Time in between shows and events and meetings during fashion week,
so I don't get to do a lot of my
Like if I came to New York for a week
for work that wasn't Fashion Week, all the places I
would go, But this place that I just went to
was so good, called the Corner Store. It felt like
true American meets like French bistro, like Dover Soul and
(04:12):
Spina Charta choked it, but I loved the decor. I
loved the vibe so much. I love the Corner Store.
I will, I think, go to sant Ambrose.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
Tonight.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I went to the Crane Club, which was incredibly chic.
I cannot wait.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
To go back there.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Like I feel like if I was designed designing my
home as like a nightclub supper club, it would look
like the Crane Club, which was super cool. I'm really
loving the trend right now in membership clubs that are
very like feel old school New York supper club. They're
very velvety and dark, with like disco ball fixtures and
(04:51):
lots of brass hardware on everything, which I love. It
feels very like tom Ford cellar on Era meets Halston.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
It's giving me that.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Five what stores do I like to go to? God,
I mean, if I'm uptown, Burgdorfs all the way I
love vintage stores. What goes around comes around Resurrection New
York Vintage. But they just recently had the vintage show
that I missed here, which is my favorite.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
What else do I love to do here? I don't know.
I have so many favorites in New York. I feel
so happy here.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Like if I was here longer, I would go to
Carbone for sure, via Coroda Polo Bar one of my
absolute favorites. I hope I go before I leave New York. Yeah,
I mean I could go on for days.
Speaker 2 (05:45):
Okay? What hair tool do I use for my waves? Honestly?
I use all T three hair tools.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
I use the minis when I travel and the full
size when I'm at home. But I always bring my wand,
which has a one inch a one and a half
inch barrel, because I don't wash it that much during
fashion week, so and then it styles better anyway, and
especially because it's been snowing on and off. Okay, how
(06:12):
do you plan your outfits for fashion week?
Speaker 2 (06:15):
That's an interesting question.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
It's overwhelming, honestly, because the shows that I go to
are mostly my friends' shows, and they send me clothes
to where and they send like a different assortment of
looks for me to pick from before I leave LA,
and then the looks are here when I get here,
and sometimes they fit and sometimes they don't. Sometimes they're
(06:37):
meant for a six foot model, and you know, I
need like a foot taken off the bottom, even with
my eight inch heels. But then I basically quickly try
everything on before the show if I have time the
night before, and if not, then just before the show
and I throw it on and just figure out how
to make it work.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Sometimes I pin it, where get clampet all the things.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But I would just say, like I plan as best
I can, but I always have to bring suitcases with
my own stuff because if the outfit doesn't work out,
then I always need to have my own clothes just
in case. And also like if I go to dinner
with friends after the show, sometimes I want to come
home and change into something on my own. I would
(07:22):
say that my staples I always bring. I bring an
assortment of black you know, bell bottom flared pants in
suede and leather, in denim in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Just like a lightweight wool tux fabric.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Everything, just every kind of black pant and like a
wide like denim trouser something like that that I could
throw on with everything, a myriad of faux furs, vintage furs,
things like that, lots of like mariboo, just to kind
of throw on evening looks and sweaters, some good sweaters
and pieces and great jackets because New York Fashion Week
(08:03):
is all about the coat. It's just about the coat,
the coat, the coat, the coat. This is a funny question,
and the question I get asked probably once a day, actually,
how are you able to walk in such high heels?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Do you know? It's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I actually don't find it challenging, and I don't want
to jinx it, but I have only really eaten it
fully maybe once or twice where I like and by
the way, it was very recently and I actually sprained
my ankle and it's still not totally healed, probably because
I continue to wear really high heels. But I find
that if I wear a platform, I can stay in
(08:41):
them for ten fourteen hours at a time. So yeah,
I don't find it hard. It's actually harder for me
to wear flats. I kind of wobble in flats and
forget ski boots.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's like really challenging for me.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I packed Valentino shoes, all my Valentino Plat platforms in
different colors and fabrics, patent and leather, shiny and Matt
also Alayah, I have these great like lug soul Alayah
kind of shoeties. I would say it's like an ankle
boot shoe.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
What else, uh right? I think that's it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Elias and Valentino's basically and liubatants. They go with me
everywhere my very very high black pump. What trends are
you seeing at New York Fashion Week? And what trends
do you expect to see on the oscar red carpet? Honestly,
the biggest trend at New York Fashion Week is luxury
is really like this whole quiet luxury trend is really
(09:44):
hitting hard because I think people have come off of
COVID in pajamas. Then they really wanted to get out
of pajamas into gowns or for me anyway, and now
I think they're trying to find that great middle ground.
I also think people are going back to work in
(10:04):
an office and they want to look chic and polished
but also be comfortable because I think the one thing
that COVID taught us was how we can be comfortable
and how we deserve to be comfortable every day when
we're working.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But what I am seeing is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This, like lots of layered, very layered, luxurious cashmeres and
wools and really soft textured fabrics in jewel tones, which
I always love to see this time of year, and
layered you know, like beautiful wine colors. And I thought
I would see more of the pantone color of this,
(10:43):
that sort of like Moco Ltte color, But I haven't
seen that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean I have, but not more than usual. And
what else I mean? I have seen some.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Evening incorporated into the luxury in like nude sequence and like,
but I've seen them with like flats, you know, a
gown with flats.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've seen a lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, like a lot of like nude sequence with layers,
lot just lots of layers. And lounge dressing still like
pajama dressing, which I feel like everyone will be happy about.
But like pajamas, like silk pajamas with like a blazer
over it and then belted with boots. And I love that,
I really feel that, and I think it's very wearable
and easy and comfortable.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
What do I expect to see on the.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oscar red carpet a lot of Scaparelli, a lot of
VERSACEI a lot of sculpted gowns with a lot of
work in them.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think we're going to see.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think the Scaparelli sort of trend in heavily designed,
heavily sculpted gowns I think is going to be here
a lot. I think we're still going to see some
of the nude transparency. I think that's just here to stay.
I hope it's done in a tasteful way. At the Oscars,
I think endless beating and endless beating and like crystals
(12:11):
and things like that. Yeah, I think we'll see that.
I think we'll see a lot of this sort of
blushy nude, soft metallics.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
We'll see maybe we'll see a lot of black this
year because of the wildfires and stuff like that. I
don't know that so many people are going to want
to come out like so loud and flashy, So we'll
see if that affects. It didn't really affect it for Grammys,
so maybe not. I think there's a huge trend in
being okay to repeat wear something right. I think case
(12:47):
in point, Kate Blanchette keeps re wearing things that she's worn.
And what's so great about Kate Blanchett is she's like
repeating and remaking things that she herself has actually worn,
which is really amazing, like from Armani to Goutier, And
I love that. I mean, she's, you know, can't touch
(13:07):
Kate Blanchett. So I love that for her, And that's
Elizabeth Stewart styles her, so they collaborate on that. But
I think I've also seen a lot of vintage.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I've seen a lot of vintage.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I've seen a lot of the models wearing vintage, you know,
like the Hayley Beebers and Kendall Jenner's like I've seen
I've seen them wearing amazing like vintage Guliano vintage, your
vintage for sauce. I've seen a lot of them are
coming from this amazing resource called tab Vintage. Tab Vintage
takes really amazing pieces from like late nineties, early two thousands,
(13:43):
which is why I think it's resonating so much with
those girls. Anything from like a Sheik slip dress that
Kate Moss wore, you know, on the carpet on the runway,
which is amazing. And also I've loved to see sort
of Donnatella having a lot of people wear like Di
Gianni Versaci from the archives, which you know, I actually remember,
(14:04):
which was so cool.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But I think wearing vintage versus repurposing.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think vintage you're pulling from different resources like shrimped, Shrimpton, cature,
tab vintage. I mean, the list goes on. I mean
I get a lot from first DIBs, but at the
end of the day, I think repurposing. I think for
a celebrity to come out and say I'm wearing this
again that I wore twenty years ago or ten years
ago is really making a statement and I think it's
(14:31):
really cool. I think it's really cool because I think
there for so long it was like you could not
be seen in the same even jacket that you wearing,
And I was like, that's insane, Like how are these
people supposed to like have a jacket or a bag.
Can they not be photographed in the same bag or jacket?
It seems so ridiculous to me. Okay, what is my
(14:52):
go to coffee order? And moisturizes are routine? Moisturize a routine. Okay,
so coffee. I don't drink coffee because I suffer from
terrible acid reflex, And as much as I want to
drink coffee, especially during fashion week, my reflex really acts
up just because I'm not sleeping as much, drinking a
lot of wine, drinking too much caffeine, and doing all
(15:13):
the things you're not supposed to do. My moisturizing routine,
so my skin in New York is like I feel
like a lizard. I actually feel like a lizard. I
actually apply facial oil during the day. It's crazy, but
my skincare here really is comprised of various products from
(15:34):
Barbara Storm and You Beauty, especially when it comes to hydration,
and I use everything from Barbara's serums like the hyerlonic acid,
the Niceinamide, the glow Drops Glow Serum, calming serum. I
really love them. They're they're really game changing. I just
(15:56):
ran out of my night serum and I kind of
panic last night. I love her super rich face cream
and I cream, and I also use a ton.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Of You Beauty.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I use the Bioactive Barrier at night, which I love
because you wake up hydrated. I love her eye return
I love arms Sculpt. I love her intensive face oil,
which I literally like, wake up in the morning and
pat it all over my face and literally, by the
time I go to put makeup on, I'm still hydrated,
(16:28):
but it's absorbed.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I love it. It's really good.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's an intensive face oil and I just can't get
enough of it. And she makes great minis for travel,
which is like game changer.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Game changer. I also for those of you that love
a very.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hydrating moisturizer, the You Beauty super Hydrator, It's sort of
like I honestly can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It is it is that good.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It is that good, and she does it intinted as well. Okay,
what did I miss? What is your favorite New York
snack or food? I mean, I try to keep a
protein bar or something in my bag at all times.
I like different ones. I like mash bars. I like
mash bars, I like Nugo.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It depends. I don't like ones that are super dense
and rich.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I fend them a little nausea honestly, but Trail Mix
is always a good thing to have in your bag.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
What else? What else?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What has been your favorite New York fashion show to date.
Oh God, in the history of fashion, I mean definitely
New York. I would say Tom Ford and Mark Jacobs
have always been and Michael course are always really really
fun shows. Oscar de la Rena, I would have to say,
the Oscar de Lorenta show that I went to shortly
(17:45):
before he passed was one of the most beautiful shows.
And I went there and I left my studio because
I was showing the next day, and I left my
studio with a room full of I was casting all
the models, doing all these fittings, and I ran out
took a car to his show because I knew and
(18:07):
my soul it might be his last one. And it
was just thank god I did, because I would have
regretted it forever. And it was one of the most
beautiful shows. And I can't remember the year, but Oscar
shows during New York Fashion Week was like going to
the opera. It was just so beautiful and so elegant,
and it just it was always a true New York moment.
(18:30):
And then this sort of contrast to a Mark Jacobs
show from an Oscar show was always really special.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
But I mean I miss it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I miss tom Ford showing here, I miss Mark closing
the fashion Week. You know, I miss Oscars shows. I
miss you know I do. I miss Ralph Laurence shows.
So I miss a lot of my favorites. I really do.
I think it's all over the place now in terms
of how people show and when they decide to show,
(19:00):
which I think is hard for people that travel.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But yeah, but I have too many favorites, too many favorites.
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I just remembered one that Mark did that felt very seventies,
Miss Sony Vibe Like. It definitely felt very Italian influence,
with like the hair, the makeup, the sort of metallic
sort of Lyrix knits and stuff. And I remember that
show so well at the Park Avenue Armory.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It was amazing.

Sometimes I pin it, where get clampet all the things.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
But I would just say, like I plan as best
I can, but I always have to bring suitcases with
my own stuff because if the outfit doesn't work out,
then I always need to have my own clothes just
in case. And also like if I go to dinner
with friends after the show, sometimes I want to come
home and change into something on my own. I would
(07:22):
say that my staples I always bring. I bring an
assortment of black you know, bell bottom flared pants in
suede and leather, in denim in.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Just like a lightweight wool tux fabric.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
Everything, just every kind of black pant and like a
wide like denim trouser something like that that I could
throw on with everything, a myriad of faux furs, vintage furs,
things like that, lots of like mariboo, just to kind
of throw on evening looks and sweaters, some good sweaters
and pieces and great jackets because New York Fashion Week
(08:03):
is all about the coat. It's just about the coat,
the coat, the coat, the coat. This is a funny question,
and the question I get asked probably once a day, actually,
how are you able to walk in such high heels?
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Do you know? It's funny.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I actually don't find it challenging, and I don't want
to jinx it, but I have only really eaten it
fully maybe once or twice where I like and by
the way, it was very recently and I actually sprained
my ankle and it's still not totally healed, probably because
I continue to wear really high heels. But I find
that if I wear a platform, I can stay in
(08:41):
them for ten fourteen hours at a time. So yeah,
I don't find it hard. It's actually harder for me
to wear flats. I kind of wobble in flats and
forget ski boots.
Speaker 2 (08:52):
That's like really challenging for me.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
I packed Valentino shoes, all my Valentino Plat platforms in
different colors and fabrics, patent and leather, shiny and Matt
also Alayah, I have these great like lug soul Alayah
kind of shoeties. I would say it's like an ankle
boot shoe.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
What else, uh right? I think that's it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Elias and Valentino's basically and liubatants. They go with me
everywhere my very very high black pump. What trends are
you seeing at New York Fashion Week? And what trends
do you expect to see on the oscar red carpet? Honestly,
the biggest trend at New York Fashion Week is luxury
is really like this whole quiet luxury trend is really
(09:44):
hitting hard because I think people have come off of
COVID in pajamas. Then they really wanted to get out
of pajamas into gowns or for me anyway, and now
I think they're trying to find that great middle ground.
I also think people are going back to work in
(10:04):
an office and they want to look chic and polished
but also be comfortable because I think the one thing
that COVID taught us was how we can be comfortable
and how we deserve to be comfortable every day when
we're working.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
But what I am seeing is.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
This, like lots of layered, very layered, luxurious cashmeres and
wools and really soft textured fabrics in jewel tones, which
I always love to see this time of year, and
layered you know, like beautiful wine colors. And I thought
I would see more of the pantone color of this,
(10:43):
that sort of like Moco Ltte color, But I haven't
seen that.
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I mean I have, but not more than usual. And
what else I mean? I have seen some.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Evening incorporated into the luxury in like nude sequence and like,
but I've seen them with like flats, you know, a
gown with flats.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
I've seen a lot of.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
Yeah, like a lot of like nude sequence with layers,
lot just lots of layers. And lounge dressing still like
pajama dressing, which I feel like everyone will be happy about.
But like pajamas, like silk pajamas with like a blazer
over it and then belted with boots. And I love that,
I really feel that, and I think it's very wearable
and easy and comfortable.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
What do I expect to see on the.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Oscar red carpet a lot of Scaparelli, a lot of
VERSACEI a lot of sculpted gowns with a lot of
work in them.
Speaker 2 (11:42):
I think we're going to see.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
I think the Scaparelli sort of trend in heavily designed,
heavily sculpted gowns I think is going to be here
a lot. I think we're still going to see some
of the nude transparency. I think that's just here to stay.
I hope it's done in a tasteful way. At the Oscars,
I think endless beating and endless beating and like crystals
(12:11):
and things like that. Yeah, I think we'll see that.
I think we'll see a lot of this sort of
blushy nude, soft metallics.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
We'll see maybe we'll see a lot of black this
year because of the wildfires and stuff like that. I
don't know that so many people are going to want
to come out like so loud and flashy, So we'll
see if that affects. It didn't really affect it for Grammys,
so maybe not. I think there's a huge trend in
being okay to repeat wear something right. I think case
(12:47):
in point, Kate Blanchette keeps re wearing things that she's worn.
And what's so great about Kate Blanchett is she's like
repeating and remaking things that she herself has actually worn,
which is really amazing, like from Armani to Goutier, And
I love that. I mean, she's, you know, can't touch
(13:07):
Kate Blanchett. So I love that for her, And that's
Elizabeth Stewart styles her, so they collaborate on that. But
I think I've also seen a lot of vintage.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
I've seen a lot of vintage.
Speaker 1 (13:19):
I've seen a lot of the models wearing vintage, you know,
like the Hayley Beebers and Kendall Jenner's like I've seen
I've seen them wearing amazing like vintage Guliano vintage, your
vintage for sauce. I've seen a lot of them are
coming from this amazing resource called tab Vintage. Tab Vintage
takes really amazing pieces from like late nineties, early two thousands,
(13:43):
which is why I think it's resonating so much with
those girls. Anything from like a Sheik slip dress that
Kate Moss wore, you know, on the carpet on the runway,
which is amazing. And also I've loved to see sort
of Donnatella having a lot of people wear like Di
Gianni Versaci from the archives, which you know, I actually remember,
(14:04):
which was so cool.
Speaker 2 (14:06):
But I think wearing vintage versus repurposing.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I think vintage you're pulling from different resources like shrimped, Shrimpton, cature,
tab vintage. I mean, the list goes on. I mean
I get a lot from first DIBs, but at the
end of the day, I think repurposing. I think for
a celebrity to come out and say I'm wearing this
again that I wore twenty years ago or ten years
ago is really making a statement and I think it's
(14:31):
really cool. I think it's really cool because I think
there for so long it was like you could not
be seen in the same even jacket that you wearing,
And I was like, that's insane, Like how are these
people supposed to like have a jacket or a bag.
Can they not be photographed in the same bag or jacket?
It seems so ridiculous to me. Okay, what is my
(14:52):
go to coffee order? And moisturizes are routine? Moisturize a routine. Okay,
so coffee. I don't drink coffee because I suffer from
terrible acid reflex, And as much as I want to
drink coffee, especially during fashion week, my reflex really acts
up just because I'm not sleeping as much, drinking a
lot of wine, drinking too much caffeine, and doing all
(15:13):
the things you're not supposed to do. My moisturizing routine,
so my skin in New York is like I feel
like a lizard. I actually feel like a lizard. I
actually apply facial oil during the day. It's crazy, but
my skincare here really is comprised of various products from
(15:34):
Barbara Storm and You Beauty, especially when it comes to hydration,
and I use everything from Barbara's serums like the hyerlonic acid,
the Niceinamide, the glow Drops Glow Serum, calming serum. I
really love them. They're they're really game changing. I just
(15:56):
ran out of my night serum and I kind of
panic last night. I love her super rich face cream
and I cream, and I also use a ton.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
Of You Beauty.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I use the Bioactive Barrier at night, which I love
because you wake up hydrated. I love her eye return
I love arms Sculpt. I love her intensive face oil,
which I literally like, wake up in the morning and
pat it all over my face and literally, by the
time I go to put makeup on, I'm still hydrated,
(16:28):
but it's absorbed.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
I love it. It's really good.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
It's an intensive face oil and I just can't get
enough of it. And she makes great minis for travel,
which is like game changer.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
Game changer. I also for those of you that love
a very.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Hydrating moisturizer, the You Beauty super Hydrator, It's sort of
like I honestly can't get enough of it.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
It is it is that good.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
It is that good, and she does it intinted as well. Okay,
what did I miss? What is your favorite New York
snack or food? I mean, I try to keep a
protein bar or something in my bag at all times.
I like different ones. I like mash bars. I like
mash bars, I like Nugo.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
It depends. I don't like ones that are super dense
and rich.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
I fend them a little nausea honestly, but Trail Mix
is always a good thing to have in your bag.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
What else? What else?
Speaker 1 (17:24):
What has been your favorite New York fashion show to date.
Oh God, in the history of fashion, I mean definitely
New York. I would say Tom Ford and Mark Jacobs
have always been and Michael course are always really really
fun shows. Oscar de la Rena, I would have to say,
the Oscar de Lorenta show that I went to shortly
(17:45):
before he passed was one of the most beautiful shows.
And I went there and I left my studio because
I was showing the next day, and I left my
studio with a room full of I was casting all
the models, doing all these fittings, and I ran out
took a car to his show because I knew and
(18:07):
my soul it might be his last one. And it
was just thank god I did, because I would have
regretted it forever. And it was one of the most
beautiful shows. And I can't remember the year, but Oscar
shows during New York Fashion Week was like going to
the opera. It was just so beautiful and so elegant,
and it just it was always a true New York moment.
(18:30):
And then this sort of contrast to a Mark Jacobs
show from an Oscar show was always really special.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
But I mean I miss it.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
I miss tom Ford showing here, I miss Mark closing
the fashion Week. You know, I miss Oscars shows. I
miss you know I do. I miss Ralph Laurence shows.
So I miss a lot of my favorites. I really do.
I think it's all over the place now in terms
of how people show and when they decide to show,
(19:00):
which I think is hard for people that travel.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
But yeah, but I have too many favorites, too many favorites.
You know what.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
I just remembered one that Mark did that felt very seventies,
Miss Sony Vibe Like. It definitely felt very Italian influence,
with like the hair, the makeup, the sort of metallic
sort of Lyrix knits and stuff. And I remember that
show so well at the Park Avenue Armory.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
It was amazing.
