AUSSIE MOMENT! WITH KATE AND LAUrA MULLEAvy

When was the last time you were in Australia?

Laura: Never. This is our attempt to get us there.

Ever been to Outback Steakhouse?

Kate: At one point.

What’s your favorite Australian word?

Kate: ‘Mate.’

Laura: That was Kate’s nickname growing up.

Favorite Aussie model?

Kate: MJ. She was in our show. Thank you, MJ! Have you ever seen a dingo?

Laura: Are those real?

Kate: We like koala bears.

Did you know George Lucas was coming?

Laura: We’re the biggest fans!

We have all the Star Wars DVDs. Kate: We’ve met him before and this was a dream of ours to have him here.

Wanna collab?

Laura: We were just lucky to have him come back to our show.

Let’s get back to reality!

No wonder the stars abounded—so many of them are fronting fragrances! Afterwards, they trekked uptown for a private dinner at the Mark.

Dakota Fanning: Grass.

Anna Dello Russo: Sunflowers.

Nicole Phelps: Firey. One of my favorite Rodarte moments was the collection where the shoes lit up like birthday candles.

Susie Bubble: White oleanders and gasoline. I’d call it Juge. How do you spell that? I’d market it with a Polaroid campaign.

Simon Doonan: A bonfire of flowers, called Apocalypse.

Brad Goreski: Sunflowers and outer space. I’d call it Rodarte Spice.

Joe Zee: Arts and crafts.

Mickey Boardman: Something very California. Maybe something red woodsy with a fresh morning mist.

What’s new?

I’m out of my element a little bit! Everyone here is a buyer or an editor.

What was it like getting ready for an event like this?

Easy. I know what looks good on my body.

What are you doing after this?

I have a Cole Haan meeting to review my collection for next year.

Why did rodarte name their magazine A Magazine Curated by Rodarte?

It sounds like they just ran out of ideas!

Maria Sharapova: Very sweet.

Something out of the rainforest.

Tim Blanks: Prairie wind because it would smell like gauze, tree bark, and buffalo fur. What’s Rodarte backwards? Et Rador!

It could be the smell of outer space. It sounds kind of Latin, like “Et tu, Brute?”

Kate Mulleavy: We could describe what it should smell like forever, but you’d walk away wondering what we were talking about...

How many emails do your rece

Dennis basso: Maybe 30. I respond immediately. philip crangi: Hundreds. I don’t know why anyone is e-mailing me anything.

They should defer to my sister. She’s the smart one.

Kelly Osbourne: I have about 435 in my inbox. I’ll probably respond to my mom.

James Mischka: 100. I respond to less than 10. padma Lakshmi: 60. I respond to 20. brandon Holley: In the hundreds. A lot of it is spam. A lot of photo agent spam, a lot of kids companies, a lot of crap.

Frank Muytjens: Hundreds, and I answer them all. patrick McMullan: I get about 600. I look at about four or five.

Star Jones: I get between 100-150, and I respond to them all.

Anna Dello russo: Around 200, and I try to respond to all. I’m so professional!

Jane Keltner De valle: Hundreds, and about eighty percent of it is junk. My real email goes to my junk folder, and my junk mail goes to my inbox.

Olivier zahm: Between 50 and 100, and I respond to one-third of them. robbie Myers: Around 300. We actually counted once.

Joe zee: Two to three hundred. I try to respond to all of them—people sometimes ask me to stop hitting ‘Reply All’ so often.

Amanda brooks: During fashion Week, the numbers increase exponentially with all the vendors. I respond to everything that’s not an unsolicited, unwanted request. I really don’t believe in ignoring emails.

Tory burch: Too many! I’m changing my email address. I try to respond to email— that’s one of my things. But I don’t always respond on time; it can take me a week to get back to people.

I miss her. I miss the company of actors, the crew, all of that. The fans have been so vocal about saying it was a mistake to take Erica and All My Children off the air. But just this week I did a music video with Gloria Estefan!

Did you keep anything from erica’s wardrobe?

Yes! I wish I had foresight to keep some of the really fun stuff from early on. I do have some Free Erica t-shirts from my last time in jail.

What did you think of Didier’s piece in The Daily?

I loved it! I thought it was just great.

Did it capture Didier fully?

Oh, definitely! [laughs] I didn’t know he was doing the story, so I was surprised to see it. I took a copy home for him to read.

How did he react to seeing it in print?

I said, ‘You’re the star today.’ He responded, ‘Oh, yeah, that.’ He tried to be very cool about it.

What were your Valentine’s Day plans?

What do you think? Sleep! I got flowers from Didier, delivered in the name of my cats. They were beautiful roses—and I got chocolates, too, the night before. But he ate most of them!

eFan with gloria est what song would you serenade narciso with?

“Mi Tierra,” because we’re both Cuban-Americans and that album was an homage to our native land. It’s a very heartfelt song, and Narciso is romantic with a beautiful soul. He still has a lot of his homeland in him. do you and narciso ever dine on cuban grub?

Are you kidding—he has family in Miami, and we’ve eaten with them there many times. But when we go to dinner in New York, we steer clear of the Cuban food.

It’s not good if you’re watching your weight! does narciso ever let loose?

No, he’s a real workhorse—but he’s always relaxed.

Cindy’s seCret: take A Few Minutes For yourself

RUFFIAN

memories! with claire danes at narciso

you survived this Fashion Week! now is the time to reward yourself with some luxe pampering. Cindy Crawford’s here with some helpful hints on a total rejuvenation regime.

Once a week I try to treat myself to a pampering experience at home with Meaningful Beauty. When we can, I believe it’s important to kick off your heels, draw a warm bath, and relax. Depending on what my skin needs, I’ll apply a special treatment while I soak in the tub.

If your skin is stressed out and dull, try the Deep Cleansing Masque. This clay masque is a “facial in a bottle” and in 15 minutes removes impurities, refines pores, and reveals radiant new skin.

For dry winter skin that needs an extra boost of intensive moisture, try the Rich Moisture Masque. Apply a generous layer to face, neck, and chest. Leave on for 15 minutes, then rinse!

H YOANA BARASC what’s new?

Everything! My oldest daughter is going to college, and my line is growing.

There’s something in the pipeline with a major department store that I’ll be able to speak about in March. Top secret.

But, in the meantime, we’re also expanding our cashmere scarf line.

We’re having tremendous success at Henri Bendel. what’s your hiring strategy?

I’ve had experts draw up the astrological charts of potential employees in the past, but I failed miserably. I still believe in astrology, but I just think of it now in terms of potential rather than realization. why did you decide not to show at Fashion week this season?

I’m still self-financed at the moment,

we’re so happy to see you!

I’ve grown up with Narciso.

I met him when I was 16.

He’s a huge influence on my life and a dear friend.

I love him deeply. He’s a smart cookie…and I always feel like I can kick some ass in a Narciso dress. What could be better? what’s the most poignant narciso memory from all those years?

Well, he made my wedding dress, so I don’t think you can really top that. Narciso embroidered his name secretly into the dress, which was such a nice detail. what were you like as a teenager?

I was a total nerd then. I’m a nerd now, but I’m just better-dressed.

so I want to continue on this path of refining my product instead of focusing on a runway show. It’s really working for me right now. We’re top sellers in all our stores. But we did have a gorgeous penthouse luncheon in October for top editors while we shot the lookbook.

People felt less pressure to be there and really enjoyed it. what inspired your Fall collection?

It’s all about color and how different shades respond to each other. The emotion that color provokes runs deep. It’s also based on the spirit of collage and texture. what’s your color du jour?

Since I work with so much color, I tend to wear neutrals.

Especially as a female designer, if you’re going to try your clothes

on during the day, you need a grounding base to provide a subdued background. how are you staying so cheery this winter?

I’m taking Vitamin D supplements and using a happy lamp—you know, the ones with the UV rays that mimic the sun. I have an amazing heater under my desk that brings the room temperature to 80 degrees. I try to overheat myself since I can’t stand the cold. what’s your favorite winter soup?

Cream of leek. I make it at home from my own recipe without the potatoes. I don’t like too many carbs! does your beauty routine change in the colder months?

Yes! I apply Helena Rubinstein moisturizing cream three times a day for a glowy shine, and I wash my hair every 10 days so it doesn’t get overdried. ruFFian: Firstview (3); danes: getty images (3); baraschi: giorgio niro; getty images (3)

Meaningful Beauty® is the best skin care system I’ve ever used and it’s what I rely on every day–morning and night to take care of my skin.

Experience Cindy Crawford’s Breakthrough Secret for Younger-Looking Skin New Advanced Anti-Aging System The Meaningful Beauty story began over 17 years ago when supermodel Cindy Crawford first learned of Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh, one of Europe’s most exclusive anti-aging specialists and premier skin doctors. After experiencing Dr. Sebagh’s dramatic, rejuvenating results firsthand, Cindy asked him to bring the same amazing benefits to women everywhere in the form of Meaningful Beauty.

RicHiE RicH, ALL GROWN UP?

OvER

After

With a newish line called Pop Luxe and a Nick Gruberesque beau, the thirtysomething Richie Rich seems to be embracing adulthood at last. The Daily and stylist Derek Warburton intervened to give this fashionette the dapper look he deserves!

FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

ng

tte

What do you think of your new look?

Richie: I love it. It’s like being an actor—I’m downplaying my kooky side. I grew up really preppy. At our last show, Ellen DeGeneres asked my mom if she knew I’d grow up to be a fashion designer. Mom told her that I always wore Ralph Lauren covered in spray paint and glitter.

When was the last time you wore a suit?

Richie: I went to a wedding about a month ago, but I didn’t wear one.

Don’t you love that [Richie’s boyfriend] Ross is doing this interview in his underwear?

It’s certainly a first! You seem very comfortable.

Ross Higgins: I love to be naked.

So you’re back at the Tents this season?

Ross: Yes. You know, people always think I’m (Heatherette co-designer) Traver (Rains) and that I should have a cowboy hat on.

Does that annoy you?

Ross: A little.

Richie: People confuse me for Macaulay Culkin, so we’re equal. Traver is now in LA doing photography and making incredible t-shirts. I don’t like to design alone. I like to build a team with that Warhol factory feeling.

What else is new?

Richie: We’ve signed a deal with Dick Clark productions that nobody knows about for a reality TV show called Celebutante with Richie and Ross. It’s hopefully going to be on VH1. We also have a record deal with Warner Bros. Records. I want to do everything!

What should we expect from the show?

Ross: Let’s say Navajo Indian meets Mick Jagger eighties pop underground, boom, boom, boom.

Richie: Look. Heatherette is like a friend that I’ve had for a long time, but now Pop Luxe is the next level. It’s more wearable and kooky, that magic.

I’ve always been able to forecast trends.

Ross: This line is very boho chic. It’s going to wow a lot of people. People are always asking us if it will be wearable.

Richie: Yeah...we sold thousands at Macy’s! People always thought Heatherette wasn’t tailored or even produced, but we worked really hard making it. It wasn’t the elves!

Where will you sell it?

Richie: The high end at Bergdorf’s, and some Bloomingdale’s. We’re also going to go on Home Shopping Network. And a lot of Asia!

What’s your background, Ross?

Ross: I get a lot of creativity because

my mom is an artist, and my grandfather did Barbra Streisand’s hair for 27 years. They had a falling out, but I can’t talk about that. I modeled all over the world. After we started doing this fashion designer thing, it was hard to model in New York because I had to be in five different places at the same time. I was with Q, but I had to leave them to be on more point with this. I still do a lot of jobs for Lacoste and stuff. I’m only 21!

Richie, how old are you now?

Richie: I’m 85. I’m like Coca-Cola. I’m a unicorn.

Do you still keep in touch with Marc Jacobs?

Richie: I see him here and there and everywhere, but we don’t talk every day. He’s a friend. Tommy Hilfiger, his brother Andy, and Nicole Miller have really been my mentors. And of course, Pat Field and David LaChapelle. I feel gifted that people were nice enough to be cool.

At one point in time, Heatherette was one of the toughest tickets to get during Fashion Week. Is life calmer these days?

Richie: I love these questions. I hate being asked, What’s your inspiration?

I always say it’s a puddle of water that has oil in it that looks like a rainbow. I saw one the other day, actually. That makes me think of a dress. Anyway, Heatherette wasn’t crazy to me. I had no rules, and I still feel like I have no rules. I never expected Naomi Campbell to walk down my runway, but...

What was that like?

Richie: The audience went nuts. I was at her house a month before, dressing her for the MTV Awards and I whispered that if she walked in my show I’d die. When I was a 16-year-old kid, I’d copy her makeup from Italian Vogue! Then she showed up! I didn’t even know she was coming. The next season she and Kelly Osbourne walked. When I moved here in 1993, I never knew I’d be in the Tents one day. I appreciate everything. It’s a big party. That’s what I get off on. I really don’t care about selling a t-shirt.

I care about people loving themselves.

Are you a good businessman?

Richie: That’s the best question you’ve asked me. I never went to fashion or business school. I went to both of them backwards. I think now I’m better at business. When you’re an artist, as long as you have your finger on pop culture...You finally let business people in to help. It’s getting better.

What do you think of nightlife today?

Richie: The bottle service nonsense is stupid, but people want to dress up and have fun.

IN! THE STYLIST WEIGHS Derek, does Richie’s style work for you?

It does. He’s a real eccentric. We were having dinner the other night, and he took out a Sharpie and drew eyeliner all over his face and it just kinda worked. I find him very self-expressionistic, and that’s rare now.

What was your approach for our chic-over?

I wanted to give him a pop of color because you can’t just make him chic, chic, chic. The socks are fun. I wanted to make him more sleek, but I didn’t want to lose his personality.

What designers did you pull for him?

Ben Sherman, Carlos Campos, Michael Bastian, John Varvatos. All my favorites.

Would you call his style club-kid style?

I wouldn’t. Because Richie hasn’t been a club kid in 20 years. He’s a man who is eccentric. He’s more of an avant-garde Peter Pan. How do you guys know each other?

I’ve known him since Club USA when I was 19. I was at FIT. I would see him on talk shows, and I had never been to the city before. Now we’re buddies. He’s 100% not jaded!

PLUS! Richie’s boyfriend gets our treatment, too!
