On Saturday night, The Daily and MCM hosted a blowout bash at Pier59 Studios celebrating the New Wave designers, models, influencers, fashion professionals, multi-hyphenates, and all-around-creative badasses driving the industry into a bold, bright future. Guests enjoyed vodka cocktails from Svedka, beer from Kronenbourg 1664 Blanc, and remained hydrated throughout the night with plenty of LIFEWTR, while DJ and New Wave honoree Isaac Hindin-Miller pumped out a steady stream of extremely danceable tunes from his lofty DJ perch. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 winner and New Wave honoree Aquaria surprised guests with a special (and acrobatic!) lip-synch performance on a stage full of monogrammed MCM novelty sculptures in all shapes and sizes. Guests couldn’t get enough of posing with MCM’s giant monogrammed teddy bear, and there was a line to the door for a go in the 360-degree photo booth, which anchored the far corner of the event space. Personal robot temi was seen interacting with guests throughout the night, making new friends wherever it went. And Instagram’s favorite fashion poms, Zuzu and Zunky, were living their best life, being petted and fawned over by pretty much everyone who saw them. So cute!

With Ashley Graham What’s new? Are you watching American Beauty Star on Lifetime? We have a live finale coming up. Do you get nervous to do live TV? I love live! It puts that little extra pressure on you to be even better. Are we seeing more curvy girls on the runway this season? I think so. The 11 Honoré show kicked off NY Fashion Week, and that was a big statement. There are designers who are creating dresses for us, and it needs to be the new norm. Our bodies are beautiful!
Christian Siriano held the first-ever fashion show at the Top of the Rock. The elevators were a little slow, so things started about an hour late, but no worries. Chanel Iman opened, and her husband, mother, and young daughter sat front row. • Brandon Maxwell staged an intimate, insidersonly show at Penn Plaza Pavilion. The designer invited guests like Karlie Kloss, Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and your Daily to join him a half-hour early for champagne, wine, and chicken wings. They were gooooood.
DESIGN DISH!
Christina Ricci
With Christian Siriano Why did you pick this venue? It’s so New York. The idea of the collection was futurism, so I liked that we were elevated in the sky. You probably disappointed a lot of tourists today… Totally! But people could still come up on the other side. Post-show plans? A party at Tao!
Kelli Giddish, Debra Messing, Mariska Hargitay, and Christina Hendricks
BRANDON MAXWELL AWW ALERT!
With Grace Elizabeth This is your second season walking for Brandon... We really connected. We’re both from the South, and he’s so engaged with his family. I am, too. I don’t think there’s a better soul out there. Did you eat any chicken wings? I got here on the later side and everyone ate them already! Nobody saved one for me. I’m gonna have to go to Hooters tonight to get some! Do you eat comfort food? Pizza is my favorite, but I went to [burger joint] brgr last night and had a Beautiful Day burger. I added avocado! You’re heading to Europe—who’s in your travel posse? Luna Bijl and Birgit Kos, who are probably my two closest friends!
DRINKING WINE FROM A SIPPY CUP! With Brandon Maxwell
I love your style! Keeping it real! What was your concept for the collection? So many women find themselves in moments where they are watched. How do you stand up, put your shoulders back, and rise to that occasion? I saw that strength in my mom. [Maxwell’s mother was recently treated for breast cancer.] So many of the women in my life are real Americans who get up and do the damn thing every day and don’t ask for anything. I always want to be a safe space for them! What was it like to create the show with your mom? We had a cry afterward. I’ll remember that moment for the rest of my life.

GET WELL SOON! With Robin Givhan
Why are you on a crutch? I broke my foot about four weeks ago. I had an unfortunate jump-roping accident. Do you jump rope often? I do. I was using a weighted jump rope [in an exercise class] and jumping really fast and feeling like a badass. My hubris was punished when I missed a step. Are you following the Kanye/Plein story? Only half-heartedly. I got distracted by a story that I was doing about politics and blackface!

BEAUTY trend alert Jonathan Simkhai’s seasonal inspo? Snapshots of his fam in traditional Ukrainian ensembles—his mother’s side of the family hails from Odessa. Layered knits, scarf prints, ’70s-esque denim, and even an elegantly printed puffer added a new level of depth and intrigue to the lacy, lovely confections that made him a star. Is it too soon to ask for a personal order?

Han Chong’s evolution continues at breakneck pace, and fashion lovers rejoice. While there are plenty of sweet little dresses, Chong is loathe to go too saccharine. For Fall, he integrated some cleverly printed daydresses with a patched-together sensibility—neo-bohemian, if you will. Other hits: cold-shouldered cottons and quasi-louche velvet.

Artistic inclinations abounded at Tory Burch. The designer cited Black Mountain College—a North Carolina school with arty students and faculty, like the de Koonings and Cy Twombly—as an inspiration. It’s impossible to resist those knifepleat patterned separates, sharply cut coats, striped pantsuits, print-lined puffers, and a very hygge chunky knit dress and scarf pairing.

This week, Elie Tahari is celebrating the 45th anniversary of his ready-towear business. The designer recently walked down memory lane to share his fondest career memories, what he really thinks about retail today, and his longtime show day rituals. BY EDDIE ROCHE What brought you to New York in 1971? Well, I had a free [airline] ticket. How did you get that? My brother worked with an airline, and the ticket was in his name—they were carbon copy, in those days. It said “A. Tahari,” and I changed it to “E. Tahari.” I flew standby, and I got to New York, and I said, “I’m going to be a few days and leave with a hundred dollars.” But I stayed—I never wanted to leave! I arrived in June—of course, the weather was beautiful. I’d been living in Manchester, England, where it rained all the time. I loved it here. What was New York like back then? Very free. You could do anything; it’s tougher now. What was your first job in New York? I washed cars at a garage on the Upper West Side. After that, I was a delivery boy for a dry cleaner. How did you end up in fashion? Two jobs led me to where we are today. I sold clothes in a boutique that was open until 2 a.m. After that, I was an electrician in a showroom in the Garment District. What was the next step after those gigs? Well, the owner of the shop had a little manufacturing business—he would come into the store, ask the salespeople how well certain styles were selling, and then he’d manufacture them. Somehow, I came up with a tube top, and he became very successful with it.
How did you start your own company? I started making tube tops! Love it. Your first fashion show was at Studio 54! It had just opened when I did the show, so it wasn’t as famous as it became later. I was changing the [brand’s] name from Morning Lady to Tahari. I hired a choreographer from London; it was a lot of fun. How did you even make that happen? I called the operator, booked the place, and we put on a fashion show. He said to come after the show to work out the bill. I went to the club the next day, and they wouldn’t let me in! I was upset. It was all in my head—ego. What was the response to that first collection? Amazing! It was both a celebration and a fashion show. Right away, the business took off. After the tube top days, I made a dress that was very popular. I made one style at a time, and every style caught on fire. We were hot the whole time, even when we made suits and then sportswear. There was a lot of demand for it. When did your own stores come into play? In the ’80s, we opened a store on Madison Avenue, and in the ’90s, we opened a lot more stores. What do you think young designers deal with today? The industry changed, and it’s tough for young people starting businesses. Fashion is confusing, and there’s no direction for young designers. Even if you wear colors that clash, it’s in fashion. Business is tough—online is not helping, and the department stores are not doing well. It’s tough for everybody! Why have you been so successful at figuring out what works and what doesn’t? I do my homework. I don’t have a crystal ball, but I do my homework and ask a lot of women a lot of questions. Then, I see their reactions at the stores. I pay attention; I listen to the retailers. You co-founded the Theory label in 1997. What was that experience like? It was great. It took off right away. Stretch fabric was
coming to the market for the first time, and we were the first to use it. We built the whole business on that product. What do you think of Madison Avenue these days? There’s a lot of space for rent. I think it became too expensive to have a store there. You tried to buy Barneys New York. In retrospect, are you happy that it didn’t work out? Yes, because it’s not doing well. I think if I was involved, it would have done well. I would’ve made it more accessible fashion; the clothes are too far-out and too expensive. Does it feel like it’s been 45 years? No! It feels like it’s been five years. Christie Brinkley and Sailor Brinkley Cook walked in your 45th-anniversary show. Why did you ask them? I used Christie in one of my early shows. I’ve got a connection with her. We saw what Sailor is doing now, and that’s the customer for the brand today, so it really talks to the brand’s cross-generational customers. I also think Christie is such an icon, and it’s so great to celebrate that. This even reflects the collection’s inspiration—a little ’70s, sophisticated, but natural and hip. What are you looking forward to next? I’m looking forward to the 50th anniversary and to doing some philanthropy. We also have a fragrance coming out in April, a very fresh scent. You’ve had a lot of shows in 45 years! Do you have any show day rituals? I pray before the show, and I try to rest after the show. I pray to be connected to the line, and to do good in the world.

INCLINATIONS As the artistic director, ambassador, and spokesperson for Moroccanoil, Kevin Hughes knows a thing or two about making magic happen during New York Fashion Week. Meet the maverick behind some of the runway’s freshest hairstyles. BY TANGIE SILVA photography BY caroline fiss
We hear you’re one of 12 children! Yes! I was born and raised on Long Island, New York, and I think I won the lottery with my family. I actually love all my siblings. I am No. 11 of 12 children from the same mom and dad…no twins! When did you decide you wanted to be a stylist? I went to college to study fashion-buying and merchandising, but I have always done hair since I was 11 years old. I started braiding my sisters’ hair, then cutting my little brothers’ hair and did a pretty good job.… I wound up cutting everyone’s hair, but I thought I needed to go to college, so I did. Then I followed my true passion…hairstyling! How did you end up working for Moroccanoil? I was doing editorial work and working as a hair colorist part-time at a salon in L.A., and one of my clients was the global director of hospitality for Moroccanoil. She insisted I meet the owners of Moroccanoil, so I met them and did some hair at one of their shows in L.A. They offered me a job that same day. I’ve been with the brand for eight years now, and I’m very grateful. When did you meet the Veronica Beard designers, Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard? About a year and a half ago, at their showroom before a hair test for their NYFW show. They are wonderful to work with. They have a clear vision and inspiration, and that makes my job so much easier. They have such a wonderful, young vibe. And of course, the clothing is spectacular.

i love that designers are embracing people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, sizes, and genders, and celebrating their uniqueness.”
How do you all collaborate to come up with a concept? The Veronicas show me their vision for the collection, and we build from there. The hair test is very important, because it allows them to see whatever they have in mind for hair come to life, along with the clothing and makeup all together. Sometimes, we have to make adjustments and sometimes, it just works so effortlessly. What was the inspiration for Fall ’19? A beautiful girl from the city, dropped into the wilderness, so there is this nature element mixed with this chic collection. Which products did you use and can you do a quick walk-through on how you put it together? We began by working with each girl's natural texture—if the girl has curly, natural texture, we are leaving it down. We prep the hair with Moroccanoil Treatment throughout and apply Moroccanoil Curl Defining Cream globally, then diffuse to keep the curls defined. For the girls with a slight wave, we are using Moroccanoil Treatment Light from mid-lengths to ends, followed by Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream and Moroccanoil Perfect Defense, which is our heat protectant, throughout the hair. Then we blow-dry or diffuse with a center part and use the Moroccanoil one-inch curling iron to add a broken wave to the hair if needed. Gather the hair at the nape of the neck and secure with elastic thread. Then complete the look with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong, and we finished by using a piece of fabric from the collection to tie an asymmetrical bow around the ponytail.
Where do you find inspiration for shows and shoots? Films from every decade, European magazines, peoplewatching…I gather lots of inspiration in the streets. And travel! Lots of travel. It’s important to see what’s going on all over the world. Are you working on any other shows? I am also excited to be leading the NYFW show for The Blonds. Are you seeing any new trends for the Fall 2019 season? I love that designers are embracing people from all backgrounds, ethnicities, sizes, and genders, and celebrating their uniqueness, and using their natural hair texture or style. That way, we can see the beauty in everyone. What are a few of your favorite runway hair moments? I was so honored to be able to lead a few shows for Oscar de la Renta and working with the designers for their NYFW shows. Their aesthetic is so classically elegant yet youthful. What’s the hardest part of doing hair for a runway show? Managing a team of hairstylists, especially if you are a control freak like myself. You have to trust your team. I want to do everything, which is impossible, because we wind up having only about two hours to do 20–25 models. What products should every chicette at Fashion Week have in their bag? I am obsessed with Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong; it holds, will never flake, and you can always
restyle your hair without any problem. They make it in travel size too, so it can fit in anyone’s bag. Which Moroccanoil products do you use the most? Moroccanoil Treatment, Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray Strong, and Moroccanoil Dry Texture Spray. Any advice for a quick but stylish hairstyle for the front row when running from show to show? Especially in NY, the weather can be very unpredictable, so I think a chic ponytail always works, looks great, and is out of your face. Try adding a fierce accessory. Any hair faux pas you think people commonly make and recommendations to break the cycle? I think overcurling the hair. If you’re adding curl to your naturally straight hair, don’t curl the ends. Leave them straight, and it will give you a more modern wave, rather than looking like prom curls. What’s up next for you after NY Fashion Week? I will go home to Cali for three days then back to New York for a campaign shoot. FA S H I O N W E E K D A I LY. C O M

TKTK: BRAND NAME Product Name, $00, brand.com
Chloë Goutal, an aspiring musician turned bauble designer, launched fine jewelry label Toni + Chloë Goutal in 2015 with her mom, Toni. It’s clear why stars are over the moon for the duo’s revamped Victorian-era treasures.
How did you get started as a jewelry designer? It was super random! I grew up on the Upper East Side of New York, and in high school, I was focused on music, originally studying Italian opera and later shifting my focus to pop and rock songwriting. I was accepted into the BFA theater program at USC, and at that point had no doubt in my mind I was going to be an actor. When I was 21, I visited one of my best friends in London and wound up in a small antique shop. That’s where I spotted my first Victorian crescent. I absolutely loved it, splurged, and bought it for myself. When I got back to NYC, I went into my jewelry box and strung the crescent on an old chain. That summer, in the Hamptons, people stopped me on the street, in restaurants and shops to admire my necklace and inquire where I’d gotten it. I called my mom to tell her, and she had the idea of going back to London to see if we could find a few more Victorian crescents, and even stars. Five years later, here we are! I couldn’t be happier or more passionate about what we are doing. What appeals to you about celestial motifs? I always loved astrology and its symbolism. I think that’s what drew me to the first crescent I bought. Later on, learning more about what crescents and stars actually symbolized throughout time, especially in the Victorian era, I fell in love with the idea even more. What drew you to Victorian jewelry aesthetics? I’ve always loved and admired my mom’s taste, especially her jewelry. I didn’t know it growing up, but as I got older, she explained that all her favorite pieces in her collection were from the Victorian era. I love how imperfectly perfect Victorian jewelry is—stones were cut in candlelit workshops, every single piece was done by hand, and nothing was mass-produced. The idea that every piece is one of a kind, and knowing the amount of work that went into each piece, is just so romantic to me. Tell us about your family’s fashion and beauty roots. One of my aunts started a perfume company, Annick Goutal. Two other aunts, Marie-France Cohen and Dominique
Swildens, started children’s clothing brand Bonpoint. Years later, Marie-France opened Merci, another store in Paris. How do you modernize historical pieces for today? Even though most of the chains we use are also antique, when paired with these brooches and pendants, a transformation occurs—the piece becomes hip and cool. One of my favorite things is how wearable the pieces are. They can be worn with jeans and a T-shirt or with a gown. What inspired your new “Love Line” rings collection? In 1907, [jeweler] Alphonse Augis engraved a portion of a poem written by Rosemonde Gérard in 1889 into a medallion, or love token, using + and - symbols. These were then passed between loved ones all over Europe. The verse translates to: “For, you see, each day I love you more, Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.” To revive the tradition, we’ve attached original love tokens to antique wedding bands.
How would you describe your personal style? I love wearing simple, beautiful, quality clothing, and dressing up an outfit using jewelry. My favorite brands right now are The Row and Saint Laurent. Which celebs have been spotted in your line? We’ve had some amazing women wear our jewelry! Gigi Hadid, Priyanka Chopra, Viola Davis, Camila Alves, Ashley Graham, and Christie Brinkley were definitely “Oh, my God” moments. And Dove Cameron and Olivia Culpo wearing our line on The Daily’s [NYFW Issue 1] cover is such an honor. Who are your dream customers? I’ve been obsessed with Kate Moss for as long as I can remember, so that would be pretty major. Dua Lipa would definitely be a dream client; I love how feminine yet badass her style is. If Michelle Obama even contemplated wearing one of our pieces, I would probably faint.

Wonders The wellness and beauty markets may have hit peak CBD obsession. From lotions to lip balms to bath bombs, the calming, antiinflammatory, antioxidant benefits of CBD, aka cannabidiol, are cropping up everywhere. Curious, but haven’t dabbled yet? Receptra Natural’s hemp-derived products are a great place to start. Full-spectrum hemp oil and the CBD it contains are known to have incredible healing properties with daily usage. Receptra Natural grows its own hemp, creating healthy, organically farmed hemp products to help people who are seeking to improve their quality of life. The company makes full-spectrum hemp products that are equally suited for athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone seeking a healthy, active lifestyle. Receptra Natural’s offerings include a line of hemp oil extract tinctures available in multiple varieties and different concentration levels. The brand also makes a targeted topical formulation. Armed with what they believe are the best products in the industry, the company has quickly received strong support—and a loyal customer base—of both active and retired athletes. Its fans include pro wrestler Bas Rutten, who used Receptra’s products as a replacement for opioids and credits its CBD with saving his life.

Since 2016, Receptra Naturals has worked to share the many benefits of full-spectrum hemp oil and CBD with the world. The Colorado-based company is one of the fastest-growing in the industry, and is improving quality of life for more and more people every day. Throughout this exciting time of growth, the company has stayed true to its roots and its customers, thanks to its commitment to running its business—and introducing CBD newbies to the benefits of the good stuff—at the highest level of transparency and integrity.

Ahead, a spokesperson for the company explains the buzzy, nonpsychoactive appeal of CBD products, and decodes what sets Receptra Natural’s wellness-boosting goods apart in the robust CBD market.

It’s been exactly a year since Scarpetta opened its sparkling new outpost on Madison Avenue, and it’s still the hautest spot in the ’hood. Now, they’ve added Sunday jazz brunch to the delicious recipe. The Daily checked in with LDV Hospitality’s John Meadow for all the savory details. BY EDDIE ROCHE Congratulations on your first year at this location. How’s it going? It’s the best project we’ve ever done, which I say humbly. I view it as the beginning of the next 10 years. It’s exceeded every expectation we could have had for it. It’s been exciting…and a lot of work. I haven’t spent this much time in one single restaurant in a long time; I joke that every night here feels likes my wedding. We always say that a restaurant is supposed to be a beautiful chaos. This place personifies that more that we ever could’ve dreamed. Why do you think everything is working out so well? NoMad has become such a dynamic neighborhood and destination. It’s rare in New York to really get both, so it has that in a good neighborhood that’s ripe and excited for this offering. Our team is the same—the same crew, same front of house—and they’ve always worked well with one another. This restaurant is bigger, the location is exciting, and having The Seville downstairs to complement the experience also helps. You’re getting this New York power scene—every night, it’s dinner at Scarpetta and drinks down at The Seville. We also have a bigger dining room and a private dining room.
Your new Sunday brunch is incredible. Let’s discuss! Scarpetta, in its purest form, is built for dinner. We welcome our hotel guests in the morning for breakfast, and we’re grateful for, and frankly surprised by, the amount of lunch business. But the Sunday experience is something LDV has never done before. We decided to do a Sunday jazz brunch with performances by the Rakiem Walker Project. It’s not a party. There’s no bottle service; no grand production here. It’s this feel-good Sunday that’s appropriate and relevant to who we are. What are some of the additions to the menu? Scarpetta has never served eggs before doing this project, but lentils have always been important. We do an extraordinary poached egg over lentils—I get it every single time. We don’t have traditional Eggs Benedict, but yes, there’s an omelette you can compose. Outside of that, we still offer our classic spaghetti, and we’ve really beefed up our vegetable offerings. What else should we get next time? Our pastry chef makes a spectacular French toast! Brunch has been a playful, whimsical opportunity for our serious culinary team to do everyday comfort
food. Because even the Scarpetta lunch is still purely Scarpetta—this is just a different expression. Where did you find the Rakiem Walker Project? They’re so good! At Red Rooster in Harlem, where they perform. The first time we worked with them, we had them perform at Gurney’s in Montauk. Since then, we’ve had them at American Cut and at The Seville, where they perform on Thursdays and Fridays, and now, at Scarpetta on Sundays. They aren’t performing conventional jazz songs… A few weeks ago, they did a hip-hop, contemporary jazz version of Tony Bennett’s “Fly Me to the Moon.” Or they’ll do classic interpretations of modern hip-hop and pop music. They connect with us on an artistic level, with our taste, sensibility, and passion. They played The Golden Girls theme song when we were there. [Laughs] I haven’t heard that one. Every Sunday, at the beginning it’s like, “Aw, it’s a little loud,” but then, everyone has two glasses of champagne, a Bloody Mary, and by 2:30 or 3 p.m., it feels really good. What else is new? At Scarpetta Madison, we’ve started monthly pastamaking classes, hosted by executive chef Jorge Espinoza. People come in the kitchen and learn how to make our signature spaghetti and more. We’ve also recently launched a crudo bar at lunch. For $30, we’re doing six different tastes of crudo, plus a beautiful chicory and citrus salad, and fruit. You’re in and out in 30 minutes!
