3 seconds of fame

two weeks ago I was standing in lincoln center, waiting for a friend before a fashion show when a girl with a clipboard approached me and said "joan rivers wants to interview you for her show 'fashion police'". I almost died because I love that show and think joan is hysterical. so I signed a waiver and went over to joan and her camera crew. she liked my outfit (I realized after the fact that had she not liked it my first tv appearance would be slightly embarrassing...). we chatted for a few minutes and of course only three or four seconds was actually aired on last week's episode. but it was definitely one of my fashion week highlights. above is a photo of me chatting with joan during my television debut.

ny fashion week adventures

september fashion week is a lot like going back to school: wearing new outfits, making new friends, and a great excitement about doing your job in the fashion industry. I have always loved fashion week because I find it invigorating and inspiring. over the course of the fall, I will post about the trends I am loving (such as camouflage) and my designs that complement the trends. here is a look back at some of the exciting things I saw and did during NYFW:
