Fashion is an industry driven by sex, and exclusivity, and is fed by an unwavering desire to embody those two attributes, let’s be real. When Julie said the shows are like a big trade show, I breathed a sigh of relief. What’s going on in Bryant Park is the theater of selling emotional crack. I struggle with being a part of that, that’s why my philosophy is, “you’re pretty already, you don’t really need that much to be prettier.” It’s fine to be a part of it, it’s so compelling because when everything looks right, everything seems right. Who do you think looks better: chubby Linsday Lohan, or puking, drunk, clenbuteral-abusing Linsday Lohan? Sadly, the latter. So it means something, of course. But just remember, when you’re buying into all of it you are financing the social and educational lives of the owners of the company. Just like cars, just like sugar, just like cigarettes.
