WITH LEWIS HAMILTON

What’s it like working with Tommy?

The most incredible experience. Tommy is the most wonderful person I’ve ever met, besides my mum. He’s been so gracious and allowed me to have freedom in the design and engaged me in the family.

Are you having fun?

I can’t believe how many people are here.

My 21st birthday is the only party I’ve ever done, so this is major. Tommy wanted to throw this party, and as I see so many people wearing the brand, it makes me feel so proud. I’m grateful for all of this!

—Tommy Hilfiger, on Lewis Hamilton

FANBOY MOMENT! WITH VIC MENSA

How are you doing? What’s your relationship like with Tommy?

I’m all good! He’s legendary.

When I was in high school I would buy vintage Tommy Hilfiger on eBay. Are you a fan of racing?

I drive fast.

What’s up next for you?

A lot of legendary s**t.

How did you meet Lewis?

He came up to me at a party; he acted so familiar. I thought, “Who is this cute guy?”

Then I saw him talking to Carine [Roitfeld] and she said, “Honey, that’s Lewis, how could you not know?” We got tagged in photos together on Instagram, and he sent one to me. I looked at it and thought, “I love this guy!” Ever since, we’ve been close. My boyfriend and I watch his races all the time. I’m a super fan, and a granny who tells him to buckle up and be safe. He laughs at me.

Was he hitting on you by sending the pic?

Totally. I need all the attention I can get!

You’re really tight with Tommy.

I’ve been working with the brand for the past few years, and they’ve been so accepting of me. I’m not the perfect cookie-cutter blogger type. They’ve always supported me. The fact that they go above and beyond for all their s**t, that’s how I like to live my life. I’m the most extra, and so are they.

Quelle beauty! A stellar show at Spring Studios from Nicky and Simone Zimmermann. • Anna Sui closed the day on a high note with an energetic show and a front row that included Naomi Campbell and Francis Ford Coppola. “It’s his second time!” said Sui backstage. As for her inspo? The movie Kismet. “I gathered together all my friends, artisans, who don’t have a showcase for what they do, and I thought, I’m going to put that on my runway!”

OZ FEST!

With Jessica Hart You’re a Zimmermann superfan!

Of course! I shot one of their first swimwear campaigns in Sydney when I was a baby. I’m obsessed with these girls.

What do you miss about home?

Vegemite and Ribena are available in America now, so I really miss my friends and my mom!

KEEPING SCORE! CHIC CHAT!

With Edward Enninful Do people now ask to have their photo taken with you at fashion shows?

[Laughs] Yes, it’s weird!

What’s been the biggest surprise you’ve encountered since taking the top spot at British Vogue?

I’ve never really slept, but I didn’t think it was possible to get even less sleep.

The biggest surprise is the way that people have embraced the magazine and the idea of diversity and inclusivity.

That, I love!

Your sales are up! Do you know the numbers?

You’d have to call my office. I try not to pay attention. A friend of mine said if you listen to the good, you have to listen to the bad.

Favorite models of the moment?

I’m crazy about Adut Akech and Fran Summers. Those are my two favorites.

And she’s not new, but I also love Vittoria Ceretti!

Creative Director Dean Quigley

With Karolina Kurkova

How old are your littles?

My oldest one will be 9 next month, and my little one is about to turn 3. It’s amazing. I love my boys.

I’m surrounded by a lot of masculinity, which keeps me on my toes. My 9-year-old is into soccer right now—he wants to be the best goalkeeper. If he doesn’t have a friend around, he wants me to play. I kick, and then he tells me that I suck.

Ivan Bart moderated a discussion between Fern Mallis and Stan Herman about the origins of NYFW. “I said to the designers, ‘You’ve got to get out of your stupid showrooms.’ Then it was, ‘How do we do it and where do we do it?’ I looked at every empty parking lot in New York, every empty pier.…

THE DAILY FRONT ROW X AMERICAN EXPRESS PLATINUM WORKING IT Missy Elliott took to the stage for an unforgettable performance.

ONE ENCHANTED EVENING On Monday night, more than 300 guests joined Pharrell Williams and American Express at the Brooklyn Museum to celebrate the Yellow Ball, an event named and inspired by Pharrell to support arts education around the country.

“Yellow is the color of creativity and curiosity,” said Williams. “It serves as a representation of the bright light we are shining on the need for arts education, and its incredible power to paint a brighter future for us all.” All ticket sales benefitted Young Audiences Arts for Learning, the largest arts-in-education network in the country; American Express also gifted $1 million to the organization. Guests like Alicia Keys, Swizz Beatz, and Dustin Yellin took in performances by Missy Elliott, A$AP Ferg, and DJ Stretch Armstrong, and enjoyed a memorable dinner from American Express Global Dining Collection Chef Dominique Crenn. Slight-of-hand tricks by David Blaine and a multiroom art experience by American Express Platinum Collective Member Daniel Arsham rounded out the soirée, which emerged as a major highlight of New York Fashion Week.

art is essential!

WITH ELIZABETH RUTLEDGE, AMERICAN EXPRESS CMO

How did you work with Pharrell to make the Yellow Ball a reality?

We were inspired by the notion that when children are exposed to the arts they’re going to do better in school, and in life. We wanted to bring hope and optimism to life through this ball. We worked closely with Pharrell to bring in great chefs, musical talent and fabulous art.

What was the last thing you bought with your Platinum card?

This bag! It was a special purchase for tonight.

Edie Parker, chic! What kind of a shopper are you?

I buy special pieces for special occasions.

What are you looking forward to experiencing tonight?

The food! I’m a big foodie, and I’m hungry!

Any restaurant recs?

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

How did you partner with Amex to make the Yellow Ball happen?

Amex has a history of supporting organizations, businesses, and people; they do the Tribeca Film Festival with Robert De Niro, RED with Bono, and Small Business Saturdays. Education and art are important to me, and the idea that we could put something together to preserve the artistic disciplines at all costs, and the young creatives at all costs. That’s been mind-blowing for me, because most corporations don’t care. I’m so grateful that American Express understands the need for this. I hope the energy we drum up tonight reverberates through other places, and inspires other people to join this cause, and support creatives.

Growing up, what inspired you creatively?

Music has always just moved me. It’s something that you can’t see, but you can see the effects of. You may not be able to stare right at it, but music moves people; you can feel it.

What was the last thing you bought with your Platinum card?

I used it for dinner the other night!

FAMILY TIES!

WITH A$AP FERG

Why is arts education important to you?

My father was an artist, my grandmother’s an artist, I went to art and design high school. The next step in my career is to give back, pass the torch, and collaborate with some of these young artists, and give them opportunities.

How did your ultra-artistic family inspire you?

Big shoes to fill! I watched my father build his empire. He had a clothing store, Ferg Apparel, and he did the Bad Boy logo for Puffy. For me to make my stamp, I had to really be doing some monumental things. I had to go very big!

What was the last thing you bought with your Platinum card?

ART BANTER!

WITH DANIEL ARSHAM

Why were you drawn to this cause?

I’m a product of arts education. I went to public magnet and art schools since I was young, and I’ve been active in many arts organizations since then. I have two young children, and I see their response to music classes, to any kind of creative pursuits. It’s a moment for them to think abstractly and outside of the everyday.

How did you conceptualize these rooms?

They’re experiential environments rather than individual works.

[The sculpture room] is part of a new series I’m working on, which appear like works in transport. You walk in and it feels like you’re in the museum, but things are kind of wrapped.

SOUNDCHECK! d i m i t r i os k a m bo u r i s/g e t t y i m ag es ( 1 4 )

WITH DJ STRETCH ARMSTRONG

What’s your own history with arts education?

My father was a painter, and our living room was a studio. He was also the art teacher at my elementary school, Manhattan Country School, on the Upper East Side. That creative DNA runs through my family. My father played violin and viola in an orchestra in Germany in his twenties. My cousin is an incredible jazz pianist and producer. As a DJ, I’ve always had encouraging, open-minded parents. Art was something we all shared as kids. I gravitated toward music, and my parents were incredibly supportive. They made a deal with the neighbors whereby I could play drums a certain amount of time every day.

Those neighbors are saints!

If my kid wanted to play drums, I’d try to sway them toward something quiet.

TASTY MORSELS! WITH DOMINIQUE CRENN

Talk us through the menu!

When we talked to Pharrell’s team, we learned it’s all about “yellow,” so we did a delicious salmon with a yellow sauce.

Did you enjoy Missy Elliott’s performance?

Of course! I just want to commend her for the past 20 years. She’s been through a lot, and I think she’s amazing.

What was the last thing you bought with your Platinum card?

Who’s WHO We’re bidding adieu to NYFW, but there’s still lots of stylish action ahead—this weekend, UBM Fashion’s Coterie trade show takes over the Jacob K. Javits Center.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of the exciting designers and brands showing this season.

We studied real-life wardrobe staples of models and influencers, and were inspired by their travel lifestyle. Modern-day fashion is about celebrating diversity and individuality.

Why did you decide to have Morgan Saint perform at your NYFW show?

She’s raw, understated, and personal in both her music and her style. French Connection has always supported emerging, young talent, like Kate Moss, Adriana Lima, and Hailey Baldwin. Morgan has loads of personality, and doesn’t take herself too seriously. We’re big fans!

SINESIA KAROL, FOUNDER & CREATIVE DIRECTOR How did you kick off your fashion career?

My mom used to work in fashion, and as a teenager growing up in Brazil, I developed a love for fabrics, design, and especially for beachwear. I launched my line in 2012 in New York, and Bergdorf Goodman bought it immediately. I’ve never stopped! Now we have three stores in Brazil and the U.S., and we sell all over the world.

GIRLBOY MORGAN HOFFMAN

nU VINTAGE

MORGAN HOFFMAN, DESIGNER How would you describe your brand’s aesthetic?

I’ve always been drawn to women whose style combines feminine and masculine. Our clothes are meant to be part of your permanent collection. Each piece is gorgeous, classic, and of exceptional quality, like our feminine power suits.

Who are your muses?

Every piece in our collection is named after the style icon who inspired it, like Marlene Dietrich, Katharine Hepburn, Diane Keaton, and Edie Sedgwick. These women weren’t bound by society’s conventions. I also adore Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.

nU VINTAGE

JACQUES KEVORKIAN, FOUNDER Dream designer collab, please!

I would collaborate with Off-White, for a combination of vintage and futuristic touches.

We have two: We launched the collection with the Voyager Small Flap Satchel, which is structured and functional, with clean lines, and also, the Explorer Camera Bag, which launched for S/S ’18.

LEGAMI JEWELRY LISA GOLDSTEIN, CMO What’s your best-selling piece?

Our Promise Bracelet. Not only does its name and purpose make it so popular; it’s a visible promise of your unbreakable bond. The “promise” can be interpreted in so many beautiful ways. Customers have bought these bracelets to promise to love, to forgive, to never forget.

R.G. KANE

I grew up really enjoying dressing up, and I’ve always believed clothes are important. While studying fashion design at Parsons, I interned at Edun, Rosetta Getty, and Creatures of the Wind. After graduation, I moved back to L.A. and worked as an assistant designer for Raquel Allegra. After a couple years, I decided to try something on my own.

PLANET BY LAUREN G

LAUREN GROSSMAN, OWNER & DESIGNER What’s new this season?

We’re introducing a new “Foil” fabric for Spring ’19.

It’s a metallic silver that is trending in the futuristic look this season. It is eye-catching and fun to do a few whimsical pieces.

Who’s your designer muse?

Donna Karan. I love the way that she drapes her jersey pieces.

NICOLE MILLER

NICOLE MILLER, DESIGNER & FOUNDER What’s the mood of your Spring ’19 collection?

Nostalgic and timeless. There’s a bit of an ’80s influence, but I didn’t want to get too caught up in one period or one time zone. The collection has a lot of contemporary dresses.

Any favorite silhouettes you’re loving for fall?

I’m sure I’m not the only person doing this, but I do love a long, oversize blazer. I began last fall, and there was a lot on my runway, but for Spring I made it bigger and longer, and tweaked some of the details.

The jacket is like the length of a short dress now.

The blazer is definitely back! It’s just got to be a little more interesting.

WOODEN SHIPS

PAOLA BUENDIA, CO-FOUNDER & DESIGNER How has the brand evolved over the years?

We’ve become a go-to source, not just for cozy winter sweaters, but also for the best beach sweaters.

This year we added new distressed silhouettes and graphics to update our best-selling beach collection.

Where do you find design inspiration?

I’m lucky to live in multiple communities: Bali, New York, and Colorado. In each place I have a great tribe of friends—designers, artists, entrepreneurs, yoga teachers—and I think of them all when I design!

TIME’S ARROW

CREATIVE TEAM Who’s your typical customer?

The Time’s Arrow girl is always on the go, and has her own sense of style. She’s fun and quirky, and loves to mix designer and fast fashion.

What’s your best-selling style?

Our crossbody bags! We’ve been producing them for the past several seasons. This season has two new shapes: the Sadie and the Sadie Mini.

KASANDRA CARLSON, SVP SALES, MERCHANDISING & MARKETING How did you end up in the fashion biz?

I originally wanted to be a sports broadcaster as both my parents were once professional athletes. I came across a fashion industry job opportunity in college, to help me pay for school. I quickly fell in love with the business!

What’s new for this season?

Spring ’19 is a great combination between Frenchinspired wearable elegance and the flirty first days of spring. There are textured leathers and colorblocking. It’s breathtaking!

HALE BOB

DANIEL BOHBOT, OWNER & DESIGNER What’s the Hale Bob aesthetic?

Feminine, distinctive, one-of-a-kind fashion with a distinctly resort vibe. Our clothes have unique prints and quality fabrics, and they are designed to be transformational.

GLAMORPUSS

My mother has wonderful taste, and she instilled that in me. When I was a high school senior, my class voted that I’d be Lady Diana’s stylist, so I guess I had something back then! My first job was with Saint Laurent. Then I worked with some of the greatest designers—Armani, Tommy Hilfiger, and John Galliano at Dior. All these influential people taught me a great deal about business, fashion, design, and image. hale bob

LOVELY?

In the midst of New York Fashion Week, a bevy of beauties graced La Grenouille to celebrate Town & Country’s latest Modern Swans issue with a divine fête hosted by Michael Kors.

BY EDDIE ROCHE

With Kit Keenan

Where are you going for college?

I’m at film school at USC in cinema and media studies. Any industry needs video these days. IG TV and YouTube, that’s how you tell a story. I also get to live in L.A., and it’s warm. That works out well!

LOTS OF LOVE Catherine Zeta-Jones and Carys Zeta Douglas shower Kors with bisous.

CHIC CHAT! With Michael Kors

What’s your current state of mind?

I’m in the middle of our hair and makeup tests. They’re screaming for me to get back to the office. I never mind the craziness before a show. We’ve spent so much time working on it, it’s nice to see everything fall into place. It’s like theater: Your actor’s in costume, the music comes on, and the orchestra strikes up the note.

What are your fall theater picks?

Straight White Men was fantastic.

I’m going back to My Fair Lady with Laura Benanti! I can’t wait to see Kenneth Lonergan’s new play, The Waverly Gallery, and there’s also A Chorus Line at City Center. It’s going to be a busy theater fall!

GUTTER CREDITS tk

STUDY BREAK!

Who are you wearing tonight?

Michael Kors. I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do a sexy look or a fun look. I decided to go for the sexy look, and have a Marilyn Monroe– inspired night.

Nice. Are you a big Marilyn fan?

What’s your favorite movie?

I haven’t really watched them! I just know her as an icon. I’m young! I’m 17! Everyone is like, “Have you seen The Devil Wears Prada?” and I’m like, “No!” They think it’s so bad.

How did the Modern Swans issue come about?

We did an issue called Debutantes for years, and decided to modernize it with up-and-coming women who deserve our attention.

How do you pick the cover star?

It’s always a mystery. We saw Carys and Catherine last year at Michael Kors, and we had our eye on them!

They have such grace and elegance.

Congrats on being dubbed a swan!

It’s my first inside cover. I went to the grocery store with my mom in South Carolina when it came out, and it was a surreal moment. It was really nice to share it with her.

What was her reaction?

She bought 10 copies, in typical mom fashion.

With Town & Country EIC Stellene Volandes

LOVEFEST!

COVER CHAT! What was the shoot like for you?

Carys: I was intimidated and really nervous! The Town & Country team and Victor [Demarchelier] made it so smooth and so fun.

Catherine: I had to leave to go to a business meeting, and I told her, “You’re in the best hands here.”

Are you going to become a doctor?

Carys: I’m really into medicine, psychology, and learning, but I think I’m leaning toward the acting path.

We’ll see where it goes!

The family dynasty continues!

Carys: I wonder where I got that from!

Fave films your parents are in?

Carys: For my dad, Romancing the Stone and The Jewel of the Nile; for a long time, that was the only movie I could see of his! For my mom, it’s Chicago and The Mask of Zorro.

CHEERS!
