Designer-ese!
A Moment with… Stephanie Seymour It’s not every family that goes to shows together! Do you ever go on picnics? Of course we do! We’re a regular family. We go to football games, baseball games, and Jason Wu shows! You’re in Jason’s current campaign, no? Jason’s people called and said they’ll pay you in clothes. I was so excited. I was honored to do it. I’ve always followed Jason. I keep my eye on the young designers, and he’s my favorite. You’ve got food in front of you in the campaign. Did you eat it? No! That was a prop. It would be icky to eat a prop. My feet were next to the asparagus.
“The woman who inspired my collection, she is so beautiful. If we touch her, we could get killed. It’s like a cobra, you know, or exotic flowers. You want to have them, you want to smell them, but they are dangerous at the same time.” —YIGAL AZROUËL ON HIS MUSE FOR FALL 2013

A Moment with… Allison Williams
What was your firstthought when you woke up today? Is it a snow day? Is anything canceled? Nothing was. It’s so New York, so New York Fashion Week. Come rain, or sleet. What if you didn’t have a driver? I’d walk with my Hunter boots on and my umbrella turned out to get to the shows. I almost piled all the people on the sidewalk into the car with me. What’s your most memorable blizzard moment? Snow angels on the freshman quad at Yale.
A Foodie Moment with… Mary Alice Stephenson You’re pals with Padma! Do you cook together? She invited me once to help her be a Padma judge on Bravo. Padma was so good Lakshmi about describing, in the most senMary Alice Stephenson sual way, every taste and spice in the meal—what was I gonna say? I was like, “Cheers!” What’s your go-to dish? I’m only good at cooking for my sevenyear-old son. Believe it or not, he loves my lasagna. And I think you’re a good mom if you can cook a mean lasagna. Did you ever cook to woo men? Ha! I used to actually go buy dinner at Dean & DeLuca when I was busy styling shoots and being a fashionista. I’d put the meal in a skillet and fake like I was cooking it. So Sex and the City! That’s my secret, and no guy ever called me on it! And the dessert was always sooooo good, if you know what I mean. No one ever cared about the food.

SCENE
Nemo! It seemed like a biggie, but in the end, you were unscathed. DISCUSS! “The show must go on. We figured if we lose some of our audience, we’d lose some of our audience. We had our models booked, hair people, team members from all over the world are here. We had people waiting for it.” —Tommy Hilfiger “The estimation was so broad. Between 3 and 30 inches! It’s like, really? I’m between five and eight feet tall. Thanks, weather people!” —Leandra Medine, the Man Repeller “What’s wrong with you people? I’m from Russia! We’ve seen worse. This is nothing for me.” —Anne V “Snow is so great in theory, like when you’re by a roaring fire with a glass of wine. At any other time, it is highly undesirable. I’ve blocked it out emotionally. OMG! I have to wear boots?” —Laura Brown, Harper’s Bazaar
