“I’m so happy to be here tonight and to see so many familiar faces. This past year has been the most successful one in Harper’s Bazaar 149-year history.… Anyone who knows Bazaar’s editor Glenda Bailey knows how much she loves a big idea. In 2016, Glenda set Drew Barrymore’s hair on fire, photographed Melania Trump in her living room with an elephant, dressed up Kris Jenner like a circus ring leader, orchestrated a street-style spoof with Cindy Sherman, got Misty Copeland to reenact some of Edgar Degas’ most famous paintings and sculptures—and that was just in March! Even I got to reenact a Lady Godiva story.… When it comes to Bazaar, we’ve learned to expect the unexpected.”

Hari Nef

GLENDA BAILEY

FASHION MAGAZINE OF THE YEAR: HARPER’S BAZAAR

“Thank you, Emily. At Bazaar, we do everything full gallop. Thanks so much to The Daily for making this monthly feel so special. Thank you to David Carey and Michael Clinton for supporting creativity as much as commerce. To our publisher, Carol Smith, who literally shows us the money. A huge thank you to my incredible team for which no idea is impossible, and trust me, I try.… I’m thrilled to say that Bazaar is celebrating its 150th anniversary next year, so thank you for making us feel so fabulous at 149.”

EXTRA SPECIAL THANKS

To the one and only Cory Bond, who helped Mr. Cumming present the trophies to the guests (and did so with humor and no small amount of handsomeness!).

CARINE ROITFELD PRESENTER

“I’m sorry for my accent. I’m putting on these sunglasses for you, which I hate to do. I met Sebastian many years ago in Rome. He was working with Mario Testino. Something was different about Sebastian. He walked to trees out in the distance, and I decided to walk after him. He was sitting with dogs…I asked him, “What is the matter? You think you’re better than everyone else?” I couldn’t understand why he left the shoot. He said, “I prefer to be with the dog.” I said, “You’d prefer to be with the dog than with me?”

“Yes”, he answered.… I chose to work with Sebastian because he’s never scared of being different from the norm. Never doing something because it feels safe. In fact, if someone does something, he does the opposite. Just like me…. We have done magical work together. You see, we like to think of our friendship like Liz Taylor and Montgomery Clift— the impossible love. I love him deeply. He is my brother, my dearest friend.”

SEBASTIAN FAENA

PHOTOGRAPHER OF THE YEAR

“Wow, you almost made me cry—that was a poem. Thank you, baby. I was very starstruck that day in Rome.… I was blessed through my life with people who had faith in me and pushed me forward. I feel like a lot are here right now.… I made a short film with Gigi, who is now there—hi!—about a year ago. It was about an actress who had to give an acceptance speech for an award and felt funny about it, and I really feel like that. It’s great to hold an award, but it doesn’t compare to the feeling you had as a child, holding a brush in front of a mirror rehearsing a fake acceptance speech. I want to talk to that child right now, holding that brush, and to all the other children rehearsing an acceptance speech. Don’t follow what anyone thinks is right. Follow your gut."

JACK PIERSON PRESENTER

“I met [Miles] when I was teaching a painting class at NYU, and he was a young painter there.... Last season, Purple asked me to do a nude story.... I asked Miles, and he instantly agreed, and it was one of the nicest photo shoots I ever had. You know, of course it’s easier when you don’t have fashion to deal with. It was super easy, and he can tell a story. I don’t think I need to explain it to anyone in the room—when a model has magic, it’s magical. And I think Miles has magic.”

MILES MCMILLAN

MALE MODEL OF THE YEAR

“I truly love my job, and I’m so fortunate to work with so many people who I love just as much. Sebastian Faena, I’ve known you for years, and our friendship has truly flourished through the many projects we have worked on this year, and I am beyond thrilled to share this night with you. You are my brother.... This recognition as Male Model of the Year is especially significant as I step more squarely into my adulthood.

It represents the idea that masculinity doesn’t have to be exclusively aggressive or overly macho. That in this day and age as we move closer to unity as a human tribe we can continue to define manhood with integrity, thoughtfulness, and a celebration of what makes us unique.… I can’t wait to see where this year takes me as I move into it with extreme gratitude and excitement.”

GIGI HADID PRESENTER

“Recently, I’ve been asked a lot why I chose [to collaborate with] Tommy, and besides the most obvious reasons, that Tommy Hilfiger is one of the most iconic brands of all time, what I always come back to so strongly is the way I feel when I’m around people who work for Tommy Hilfiger, and Tommy himself.... Tommy has a warmth about him that I think is very rare. You can see that he leads by example, because everyone who works for him and with him has the same light. He makes everyone feel warm and welcome, and he makes his models feel beautiful. He’s excited about what’s new and what young people want. He wants to know how to make things cooler and more fun for everyone. I’m so excited to present the 2016 Fashion Visionary Award to the iconic American designer, my friend, my mentor, Tommy Hilfiger.”

TOMMY HILFIGER FASHION VISIONARY AWARD

“Gigi’s words were so touching. We have a great relationship to the extent that I asked her to design the season’s collection with me, so we collaborated. Gigi came to the design studio one day nine months ago. She was expecting to spend two hours, and she spent eight hours, way into the evening. She was choosing the buttons, the colors, the threads, the shapes. She taught us how to make very high-waisted jeans. She’s been a delight to work with. We have an exciting buy-now, wear-now show tomorrow night that will be disruptive and breakthrough.… When I was 18 years old, I started my own business with $150 and 20 pairs of jeans. It was my dream at that time to build a global lifestyle brand. So now it’s happening, and I pinch myself every day, because I love life, and I feel so grateful and honored to be in this room with all you accomplished people in this business. I’d like to thank my incredible wife, Dee, for her great support, my daughters Ally and Foo Foo, and my future son-in-law, Steve, who are all here. I have an amazing family and an amazing support team.

My team at Tommy Hilfiger is second to none—they are amazing, relentless, and I have to accept this award on behalf of my team.”

“We’re making an Insta story. It happens! Sorry, I just ‘Made It Happen.’… You know all too well that once you become a mother you don’t really have a choice to make it happen, you just have to make it happen. But the reality is that making it happen requires a huge team. So some of the people who make it happen for me—the hundreds of millions of community members at Insta who create content who make my job easy; my co-workers who make me feel lazy because they are so incredibly efficient; my mother and father, who are actually babysitting as we speak; and my husband who has been my support system for 15 incredible years; and my nanny, who is an incredible part of my support system. I’d like to thank Uber, Fresh Direct, Seamless—the list goes on!—and everything that automates my life. So thank you all so much! My daughter’s favorite letter is D, so this [award statuette] will go in her room.”

I never imagined it would turn out like this, and here we are, four years later…listening to so many people tonight, the courage and fearlessness that exists in this industry is awe-inspiring. And I’m so happy tonight that, with all of our fierce team here, Jourdan Dunn will give out the [Make It Happen] award tonight. I don’t know too many people who embody our values that we believe in so deeply—selfexpression, individuality, fearlessness, being innovative, sharing who you are…which is something that we live and breathe every day. Jourdan is much more than a model— she’s a proud mother, she’s a business person, she cooks on TV. She gives of herself to important causes.... She balances a lot in her life, and she does it with remarkable finesse and pride and happiness.”

“So Americans have the Super Bowl, Brazilians have the World Cup, and fashion editors have the September issue, an opportunity for the most influential editors to reset their own professional agenda and express their creative, clairvoyant fashion. Our honoree tonight is known as an innovator, risk-taker, star-maker, and is not afraid to go against the fashion grain to set the trends, and not follow them. Her September issue has become a beacon for new talent, always introducing us to new designers, photographers, models, and stylists. The issue is one of the most revered and anticipated arrivals every fall. Her vision and creativity allows her to remix, rebrand, reimagine—sorry, my English!—fashion and pop culture. It connects them on a level that makes her the Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams, and Kanye of fashion, but just a little bit more badass.”

“Thank you, Adriana, you’re the best and I’ve worked wth you for so many years now and it’s been great, all of it.… Thanks, Brandusa and Eddie at The Daily Front Row—you do an amazing, amazing job. So much so, I’m kind of jealous of what you do, which in my mind, is 10 out of 10. You guys are so inspiring and have just been great. Congratulations! This is an amazing, prestigious award. There are so many great, inspiring September issues out there and to win is super flattering. But congratulations to all editors for their September issues. I know how hard you work on it and how hard it is. I’d like to thank my team and Condé Nast—Jonathan Newhouse and Nicholas Coleridge. My talented and crazy publisher, Catherine Russell, who is so crazy she’s probably in the bar downstairs.… Kaia, I couldn’t have hoped for a better girl in my issue. I am just so happy that you were photographed

by Kendall, and it was the easiest commission in my life. Thank you to Marc Jacobs, who has gone back to work, who’s responsible for financing our September and a half issue. Thanks to everyone for being here.”

“It’s great to be here. I see so many friends and colleagues from the industry. I’m really thrilled to give this award to Melisa Goldie and to Calvin Klein. You know, there are a lot of campaigns that come out every season, and very few get the whole fashion world talking as much as Calvin Klein. I mean, those images are incredible— Lady Gaga hugging Frank Ocean, the original obsession Kate Moss, Young Thug in a dress, Grace Coddington.

Who would ever think Grace Coddington would be in a Calvin Klein ad? The team that put that together are real risk-takers. They are brave. Fearless—is that the word of the night? Fearlessness and real rebels. I’m excited and thrilled to give the FMA for Advertising Campaign of the Year to a true visionary.”

The huge legacy of this incredible brand that Mr. Klein created, of breaking boundaries in advertising every day, was the inspiration behind what we did. We set forth to break boundaries once again, to take some risks and tell personal stories about our cast members. It was an incredible journey.

“I first met Derek at the tender age of 15 at the very start of my career, just like Kaia, and unlike Kaia, I came from a sweet, sleepy suburb of St. Louis. I was completely amazed and overwhelmed by the New York fashion world.

And upon meeting Derek, I immediately understood how he could light up a room with his dashing good looks and bring the house down with his humor and wit. He has the ability to make friends faster than a New York minute. Some of you may know that Missouri is called the ‘Show Me State’ for a reason. We don’t just say we will do something, we show it.… It is Derek’s magnetic personality that makes him such an amazing journalist. His work is creative and poetic. He can travel anywhere in the world and find stories and people to connect with. From Hong Kong to Brazil, Derek gives his audience a 360-degree view of destinations around the world, where the sights and the cultures are as vibrant as he is. Even for someone who works and travels so much, Derek is always present and there for his friends and family.”

DEREK BLASBERG

TELEVISION PERSONALITY OF THE YEAR “Cindy Crawford isn’t the only mother of a winner here tonight—my mother is here. Carol Blasberg, the Cindy Crawford of St. Louis!... When I moved to New York, my parents were nervous that the fashion industry was full of people with ulterior motives and bad hearts, and she was right—no, I’m just kidding, not really—but I also did manage to make friends with wonderful people. Not only Karlie, but a lot who are being honored tonight.... It’s good to be part of a family that really supports each other.”

TOM FORD PRESENTER

“GQ’s tagline is ‘Look Sharp, Live Smart.’ Editor Jim Nelson is, above all, dedicated to improving and enriching readers’ lives, whether that means keeping us up-to-date on the best clothes or informing us about the most relevant issues of our time. To execute both missions at the highest possible level—I’d think it was f**king hard, but to do so with the humor and panache that you do it with is even harder. GQ is a visual feast for a thinking person. And I use the word person, because there are a lot of women who are readers of GQ in this room. Its constant pursuit of innovation in terms of making a magazine as well as telling visual stories is worthy of celebration. It is my honor to present the Men’s Magazine of the Year Award to GQ and to its stylish editor in chief, Jim Nelson.”

“There is this line from Mark Twain that says, ‘If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything,’ which I love, so to tell you the truth, when I started this job, I didn’t know what the f**k I was doing. I’d admired GQ for years. I worked there, but even from before, the first GQ I can remember was Richard Gere smoking a cigarette, and then later on Cary Grant, sitting in a supermarket in my hometown in Maryland, and realizing that I was sexually attracted to an octogenarian. I was working there, and I realized fashion was the heart of it, and I needed to make it work for me.… In order to feel it out I went to the experts, which were all people around me, and realized you shouldn’t be afraid to surround yourself with people who are smarter, more gifted, and more talented than you.

I basically learned how to do it by talking to some of the people who are here.... Above all, Jim Moore, who taught me so much. We basically became partners. Every day I come to work, I’m inspired by these guys who have true vision and desire to make something new. I accept this really in their honor, and I thank you so much.”

“It just blows my mind how last week I was sitting in biology, learning how to safely use a Bunsen burner, and tonight I am here with all of you amazing people who I have looked up to for so long. I grew up in a generation defining themselves on social media, and it’s been a huge part of who I am today. While letting people in my life can be a little scary—as you probably know, too—if I can inspire just one girl, it makes it all worth it. I am not sure if everyone here knows who my mom is or not, but it’s Cindy. Hi, Mom. A lot of people have asked me what my mom has taught me about modeling—the truth is, the things she teaches me go deeper than what pose to make or what my ‘good side’ is. She teaches me to be kind, punctual—if you know her, she is very punctual—and to stand up for myself. When I think about it, aren’t these the things every mother should teach a daughter? I was raised in a very tight-knit family, all of whom are here tonight to support me, so thank you guys for coming. A special thanks to my brother, Presley, for always having my back and looking out for me.

Thank you so much, Marc, for giving me this beautiful dress to wear tonight and for taking the time out of your schedule during the craziest week of the year to be here tonight.… And, of course, thank you to The Daily Front Row for recognizing my potential. This award more than makes up for some of the regular teenage things that I have had to miss out on. Tonight is amazing, and I couldn’t think of a better way to start off my 15th year.”

THE SUPIMA DESIGN COMPETITION

F

or the ninth year of the Supima Design Competition, Supima has partnered with America’s leading design schools: Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising, Fashion Institute of Technology, Kent State University, Parsons School of Design, Rhode Island School of Design, and Savannah College of Art and Design. Each school nominated one of its top graduating seniors as a finalist for the Supima Design Competition.

In May 2016, each of today’s six designers was assigned a faculty mentor, provided fabric from Supima’s most prestigious brand partners—AG Adriano Goldschmied, Brooks Brothers, Albini, Olimpias, Kurabo, Olah Inc., Nice Dyeing, Uniqlo— and asked to create capsule collections of women’s eveningwear that highlighted the unique characteristics of Supima cotton.

The Supima Design Competition required each designer to rethink familiar fabric conventions: the woven fabrications customarily used as high-end shirting; the fine jersey that goes into luxury tops and lingerie; and the sturdy denims, corduroys, and twills that make up premium jeans and sportswear.

Designs were judged on originality, execution, and ability to showcase Supima, America’s luxury cotton. The winner received a $10,000 cash prize.

THIS YEAR’S WINNER

JEFFREY TAYLOR SAVANNAH COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN

COURTESY

The saying that music inspires fashion couldn’t be truer in this finalist’s case. Growing up in Atlanta, Jeffrey Taylor immersed himself in the music culture that shaped his vision of fashion design. With a little help from his mother, and a fellow churchgoer who taught him key sewing techniques, Taylor was well on his way to fulfilling his dream to design clothing. The rest came from his studies at SCAD, where he was a recipient of the school’s Artistic Honors Award several years in a row. Taylor’s use of color and fabrics to create volume are essential in his approach to designing beautiful evening gowns.

It combines three synergistic treatments into a 30-minute session with no downtime. We start with a diamond microdermabrasion followed by 5,000 pulses of collagenstimulating laser light and gentle exfoliation.

The Colbert MD Illumino Brightening Face Mask rapidly plumps up collagen and elastin. Finally, we apply Illumino Face Oil. The result is an instant glow that reflects light evenly, making the skin photograph like a Vermeer painting.

AMERICAN PRIDE

From Tommy Hilfiger’s ultra-fun carnival to the masterfully mixed classics at Monse, there were winners all around.

BY ASHLEY BAKER & PAIGE REDDINGER

Showing looks from both Tommy x Gigi and Fall 2016 Hilfiger Collection was a very wise idea. Song-wise—and we know how Tommy loves his music—the overall effect was a mix between Queen’s “We Will Rock You” and The Drifters’ “Under the Boardwalk.” Nautical motifs—anchors, sailor stripes, military jackets—played nicely with leather jackets, velvet overalls, and fur shrugs for a totally of-the-moment spin on patriotic chic. The streetwear references in oversize sweatshirts and silk and nylon boxing shorts were also pretty irresistible. But who had to resist, given that two pop-up shops on the premises were already selling the stuff by the time Gigi Hadid took her final bow? You can guess what we’ll be wearing tomorrow.

Alexander Wang’s new muse is a bewitching combination of surfer, skater, lifeguard, bike messenger, and nightclub minx. Cropped sweatshirts, lace-trimmed lingerie, belly-baring bombers, and Wang’s beloved biker shorts could have been culled from the wardrobe archives of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air or Saved By the Bell. But even after the final exit, the show was just getting started—the real party began when the McDonald’s stations and 7-Eleven and Slurpee trucks rolled out, and the DJ sets commenced. In a world of Insta gratification, Wang dominates, and the #trending nature of his spectacles underscores the idea that clothes are only a component of the contemporary fashion show experience. Because even if the early ’90s weren’t really your thing, you’re still getting gratis McGriddles.

RISD grad Nicole Miller is classically trained as a fine artist, so it’s no wonder that in her world, a trip to a gallery could be the starting point of a new season. A recent exhibit on Panama informed her take on Spring ’17, and the collection was heavy on mola-inspired pieces, the traditional dress worn by the country’s Kuna women.

Body-con minis, lace tees, and cleverly embroidered necklines rounded out the offering, which is full of groovy options for hardworking city girls and globetrotting world travelers alike.

SMOKY EYES

By Erin Parsons for MAYBELLINE NEW YORK

There was a mile-long line to get into Artbeam, where Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim showed their third Monse collection. Naturally, the big news—the designers are heading to Oscar de la Renta—was responsible for some of the draw, but the clothes are equally magnetic.

Shirtdressing is the big idea here, and for Spring, the best looks were dripping with sequins. The goal, according to Garcia? “To create modern ways of doing blouses that can be worn day-to-night, and oversize pants that are chic and modern at the same time. We want to give women clothes that are practical and innovative at the same time.” Well done, you two.

THE GOOP TROOP You’ve met them before—Elise Loehnen, Laurie Trott, and Jean Godfrey-June—but allow us to reintroduce them as the directorial trio at Goop, Gwyneth Paltrow’s digital start-up that’s grown from weekly newsletter to figure of speech to thriving e-comm destination. Behold the digisphere’s latest sensation.

B FA . C O M ; G E T T Y I M A G E S ; C O U R T E S Y

ELISE LOEHNEN, editorial director What brought you to Goop?

I moved to L.A. to work for this unglamorous shopping engine with all engineers, because I wanted to learn about the Internet from a completely different perspective, but I missed working on something that drives a lot of value. I met Gwyneth through a co-worker. Having grown up at service-oriented Lucky, Goop resonated with me. She offered me the job, and it was a nobrainer. I started in February 2014.

A bunch of the team comes from Lucky.

Yes, Jean, Laurie, and [VP of brand partnerships and sales] Kim Kreuzberger all come from Lucky. I landed at Lucky after college, and I was like, What is this place? I need to work at The New Yorker! Very quickly, I realized that making shopping content smart, revelatory, and fun was harder than writing a long-form essay. To write 40 bag captions and make each one stand out was the best training around.

What’s it like working with Gwyneth?

She’s a total visionary. She has respect for the reader, which is what I was brought up in. It’s not about throwing a bunch of noodles at the wall, and that’s reflected in the content. She looks at every story, often writes the subject lines [of newsletters] herself, and is in the office daily. As much as Goop was born out of her, it’s become bigger than her in many ways.

What does “editorial director” mean at Goop?

It’s almost a misnomer, because we don’t have silos, and the whole team is doing so much more than that.

I shepherd the newsletter and the content on the site, from conception to publication.

What’s Goop’s content strategy?

We have our Thursday newsletter, which is our inbox staple. Sometimes we do a special issue, like our recent issue on kids and sex. We sort of plan against loose beams—September is back to work, October is about transitions. Gwyneth is always finding experts.

A lot of our city content is from our own travels and from Gwyneth’s friends, like her best friend from high school or someone whose taste she really trusts. That’s how we build out a lot of our content.

Instead of making it about creating a certain number of stories per category, we make the decision based on our resources and our readers’. We feel our way.

It’s Goop! It’s an intuitive process.

Who is the target audience?

The reason that Goop is Goop is that we are a targeted reader. It’s born from this idea that if Gwyneth is interested in it and her friends are interested in it, then the friends of her friends will be interested in it. That’s how we operate. We’re thinking of our own questions and issues that are pulsing on the general subconscious. There are things in the ether and then they come down. That’s what drives us.

What does it take to be a Gooper?

We’re looking for people who are curious, hardworking, diligent…there is a huge trust issue for us. We don’t really wing it, which is one of the reasons we hired Jean and Laurie. If our readers want to know who the best dermatologist in New York is, we want to be sure that we are telling them. They also have to be open to collaboration. There’s not a lot of time for navigating interpersonal conflicts.

How would you describe Goop’s voice?

For the most part, we have one voice, but there are Ask Laurie and Ask Jean columns. We try to write as

though we’re speaking to our smartest friend, which is exactly how we’d want to be spoken to.

How has Goop changed since you’ve joined?

When I first joined, it was a newsletter that was all content, and the site was in planning stages.

Now it’s a fleshed-out website. There’s a bit more content, and it’s more organized. The audience reflects that. Our traffic has doubled since 2015, and our list is significantly bigger. Our open rate is still 28.5 percent, which I think is double the industry standard. That’s really important. If no one opened it, that would be a bummer. [Laughs] Will you cover NYFW this season?

Taylor Tomasi Hill covered it for us in 2014. There are so many other publications that do it so well, so we don’t feel like there’s burning white space for our readers. But we’ll interpret it, particularly in our shop.

Speaking of, Goop Label launches this month— fill us in!

It’s a very tight, well-thought-out collection, and a “buy now, wear now” concept. They’re beautifully made, incredibly high-quality, high-value essentials that are Gwynefied. They’re things you can turn to again and again.

What’s next for the L.A. team?

My creative team and I have always been based in L.A., but our other functions are moving here gradually. It’s all coming together. ß

ELISE’S ESSENTIALS CURRENT OBSESSION “Lauren Collins’ new memoir, When in French. It’s brilliant and hilarious.”

GOOPIEST MANTRA “ ‘I brake for unicorns.’

You can kind of apply it to everything, particularly hiring.”

DESK DETRITUS “Some Himalayan sea salt, ZenBunni Chocolate, and a stack of Seventh Generation diapers and wipes, since I’ve been bringing my newborn son to work every day. It’s kind of heaven. There are 40 women who want to hold him and rock him to sleep.”

NYFW HIGHLIGHT “Somehow, I scored tickets to a Zac Posen show when I was a lowly editorial assistant—way in the back, but still. I got the magic.”

HAIL TO THE QUEEN Paltrow is both editrix in chief and patron saint of Goop.

LAURIE TROTT, fashion director What’s your role at Goop?

I work closely with our editorial team and our fashion buying team to make sure that the content and commerce are a seamless experience—that what we offer from a fashion and accessories point of view coincides with what we’re covering in editorial.

How do you curate the shop?

It’s a tight edit, the best of the best. We work very closely with Gwyneth to make sure we’re finding the best assortment. They’re investment pieces in all senses, not necessarily just price. Sometimes it is a designer item, but sometimes it’s a discovery item, a cheap and cheerful find.

What Goop Shop brands are you loving right now?

We have Stella McCartney, Phillip Lim, and I really love what Suno has done. And we have Goop Label coming out!

Tell us more.

It launches September 12, and it’ll have up to five pieces each month. These are pieces that you can mix and match, and they were inspired by what Gwyneth loved and has in her closet. It’s something that’s been on her mind for a long time. She knew which pieces were missing, and which ones she was going back to.

A lot were items she couldn’t get anymore, different cuts or silhouettes. She’s extremely hands-on and involved in the best possible way.

What’s your personal sense of style, and what are you excited about in the line?

Goop Label is very much my own style. Something I always look forward to is fall and the idea of layers, finding the perfect accessory or cashmere coat. This extends to the editorial that we cover, in which we’re curating classics and timeless pieces, and we’re offering different price points in editorial. It’s a Goop sensibility!

How is Goop different from your previous jobs in fashion?

One of my frustrations at magazines was that things sell out, and this is instant. Goop is truly contextual commerce. It’s great to create a seamless experience to transfer the readers to a shop where they can actually buy it.

Will you be in New York for Fashion Week?

Yes! I go to New York Fashion Week, and I also work with our buyers. I usually go back every six weeks to two months. I was there for a long time, so it’s still in my heart. This is a perfect example of living Goop: I travel everywhere with my Lauren Roxburgh foam roller. That will be coming to New York! ß

LAURIE’S ESSENTIALS CURRENT OBSESSION “My Goop Label chambray shirt and Eleven from Stranger Things—best style ever.”

HOW I GOOP “Foam-rolling, beauty treatments, some kind of low-fi detox.”

WHAT I SEE FROM MY DESK “A colorcoordinated cookbook library, our edit team, and Gwyneth’s office.”

NYFW HIGHLIGHT “Seeing my New York City fashion friends and catching up. It’s kind of like back to school for grown-ups.”

FASHION FORAY JEAN GODFREY-JUNE, Goop launches its first beauty director solo fashion venture, You’re coming up on a year at Goop.

Goop Label, this month.

How’s it going?

It’s been exhilarating in a lot of ways.

I’d been a fan of the site and I’ve worked with Elise for many years, so it all fell into place. It’s fun to be at a media entity where people are excited to work with you. I haven’t had that experience in a while—the enthusiasm that the outside world, the ad community, the beauty community has for Goop.

We’re not focus-grouping every move we make, and we’re not chasing after clicks. It’s a vision that takes into consideration the people running it and the people reading it and what works.

Is Goop exposing you to a new side of beauty?

I’ve always been interested in the ingredients in beauty products, but at conventional magazines, I wasn’t able to explore it as fully. I thought I was unshockable, but for a story here I learned that the main ingredient in mascara is a product of petroleum combustion. Every time I do a story, I’m like, really? I thought that was okay! It can be frustrating. If it were an industry serving mostly men, there’d be a lot more interest in the ingredients. Gwyneth is working with Dianne Feinstein on legislation, so it’s exciting that it’s getting more attention.

How is Goop approaching beauty editorial differently?

It’s very much like the rest of the site: what we and Tell us about your fan-fave column, Ask Jean! our readers want to read. The content is a mix of I’d had some very successful columns, and I wrote people wanting to know information—like what’s a book in the same voice called Free Gift With Purchase.

BACK TO BLACK Patricia Black at home in her New York apartment.

What brought you to New York City?

Toward the end of the ’90s, I had another life, as a housewife in Atlanta. My marriage ended, and some friends told me to come to New York. At that point in my life, I wasn’t interested, because I looked at it as a place to go when you’re young and full of huge dreams. But I got a job working for a New York–based photographer in Atlanta through an agency I had done a couple of styling jobs for…and because of her, I got booked on a job in New York for three months.

The creative director she was working with wanted to keep me on. I thought, “Oh, and they pay you how much to do this? Okay!” I had a house to pay for, and I was fighting for my independence. It was so grueling to be here; it was so expensive, but anything was possible. I decided to reinvent myself.

What were you doing when you first arrived?

Styling. I was mostly just trying to make money, so I did a lot of advertising jobs. And I always wanted to be an actor—I had dabbled with it in my youth—so in 2007 I started going to acting school while working at Albright. I’m doing Shakespeare’s Coriolanus soon with the Combative Theatre Company.

How did you end up at Albright?

It took me a while to figure out how to support myself. Fortunately, I met Irene Albright. Her business was called Imelda’s Closet back then. I was just doing cameo appearances working at the store, which helped me support myself while running from a voice class to a dance class, to a movement class to an opera class. Irene said, “When you’re not working, come hang out with me!” So I did. It was a good way to meet everybody and see how they do their jobs.

Where did you land next?

One day a gentleman named Bob Weinstein, who worked for Concrete Brand Imaging Group, came into Imelda’s Closet and said, “What are you doing in a place like this? You should be working with me.”

We phone tagged for about a year until we decided to work together for a day and see if we liked each other. He made me sit with the graphic designers, art directors, art buyers, and editors, and I gave them my point of view on everything. It turned into a job. That was really a gift, to have somebody trust your intuition and your instinct. I danced with him for a couple of years, and then 9/11 came and I found myself kind of out in the landscape again, on my own.

THE FIXER

For years, the industry’s secret weapon has been Patricia Black, creative director of Albright Fashion Library. The brainchild of Irene Albright, the library has been stockpiling some of fashion’s best creations for years, and accordingly, it’s an essential resource for stylists, designers, celebrities, and just about anyone in need of problem-solving. “Call Patricia” has long been the phrase uttered in certain in-the-know circles—so we called Patricia.

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

What brought you back to Irene?

I ran into Irene again, and she had just bought the place that is now Albright Fashion Library. I suggested that I could come in and help her put the showroom together. She really empowered me. I don’t know if it was just the luck of the draw, but all of a sudden, all the editors from French Vogue were coming here, and all the girls from Australia, Tokyo, and London, too. We were getting a different clientele than what we had before. Fashion was changing, so the buy was different. Prior to that we were very minimalist and grunge—there was no jewelry or fluff; it was just simple, clean black dresses.

Was the business concept the same?

Yes, it was always about rentals. Irene was a stylist in the ’80s and ’90s, and in those days you didn’t have a place like this. You had to buy clothes, and then return them, for certain shoots. At that time, it was strictly for the industry, and we were buying only sample sizes.

How did Albright evolve?

All of a sudden, we started moving into this whole celebrity moment, with celebrities on the covers of magazines and appearing in the advertising. They come in all shapes and sizes, so we had to change the buy a little in terms of sizing. Then we opened it up to anyone who needed to rent a look for an event.

I discovered that there were a lot of women who were working on Wall Street, for example, who were climbing the ladder of success and now they had to go galas. They came to us for the perfect dress or shoe. There are other places that offer similar types of service, but we provide one-on-one attention, and on any given day, we’ll have everyone from Kate Young to Pat Field to Leslie Fremar in the room,

offering their own suggestions. You might be styled by a top stylist, if you come in on the right day!

How many pieces does Albright buy each season?

We buy about 20 to 25 pieces each from 40 designers a season.

What would we find in your own closet?

There’s a new designer, Tamuna Ingorokva from Georgia, the country. I love her fabrics. I love the minimalism of it, and that it’s off the radar at the moment. I also wear a lot of Dries van Noten and Comme des Garçons.

What has been one of your favorite shoots to pull for?

We just did a project with Catherine George, a costume designer who works a lot with Tilda Swinton.

So a few weeks ago, Tilda was here in the showroom with Catherine figuring out the look of a character she is going to play. The references were everything from Martha Stewart to Peggy Guggenheim. There were so many wild and inspiring references they were throwing at us. We had a lot of fun putting together looks. Tilda won’t actually wear the pieces, but they’ll take them to the seamstresses to show them the shapes and colors they want. In that way, we’re a research resource.

What’s next for Albright?

We just opened up in L.A. a year ago. We were just a little gun-shy about going there, but an opportunity presented itself, and Irene packed up a few trunks of clothes, took a house in Beverly Hills, and opened up shop. We’re still building the inventory.

Our clients understand that the collection is theirs as much as it is ours. We rely on them as much as they rely on us. ß

IT’S AWYATT WORLD

Known for her style and adored for her wit, Lynn Wyatt embodies a certain brand of glamour and sophistication that is becoming increasingly rare in today’s world of Insta-stars. If you’re lucky enough to meet her at one of the A-list fashion events she graces around the globe, expect captivating tales in her charming Texan drawl—“class with a bit of dash but never trash” is her mantra, after all. We rang her up at her home in Houston’s tony River Oaks nabe for some lessons on a life chicly lived.

Your parents owned the Sakowitz department store chain when you were growing up. What was your earliest fashion memory?

At the beginning of the school year, when I was maybe 11 or 12, I went to the store with my mother.

She said, “Pick out the things that you like and bring them into the dressing room.” I was so excited, and then she told me to pick just five of them to take home. To this day, that experience taught me to ask myself, “How often am I going to wear this, and how can I change it around with accessories?”

You’ve attended so many events. Surely some of your outfits have been worn only once.

No, my clothes are good friends of mine. I want to see them and I want to wear them. And fortunately, I can still get into my haute couture. I’ll wear a smashing gown in Houston, I’ll wear it in New York, and I’ll wear it in Europe. Then I’ll put it away for three years and

bring it back out again.

We hear you’re an expert in Tae Kwon Do. Is that how you stay so trim?

[Laughs.] I’m not an expert in anything! I’ve been working out before you were even born. I have two trainers; sometimes I have three. They don’t come on the same day, obviously. But I don’t tell them what the other one does because I feel like one has to fool one’s muscles—otherwise, it gets too easy. I’m athletic, luckily, because I had four boys, and growing up I did all sorts of boy things. But I decided to take up Tae Kwon Do because it was different.

How old were you when you started?

I started it in my fifties, and I got my black belt first degree when I was 60 years old. [Laughs.] I can protect you, babe.

One of your first couture purchases was Chanel.

How did that happen?

We were in Paris around the time of the couture shows, and my husband said, “I want you to go to Chanel and order some things.” I was amazed at the delicacy and the exact measurements, how they measure your arm straight out to your wrist, then bend the arm and measure that. If you’re a customer who comes back a lot, then they make you a body form. My first purchase was a navy suit with navy and white trim around the bottom.

Do you still have it?

It’s up there in my famous attic. [Laughs.] We lived in a large house for 36 years, and I kept my clothes in the attic. I would go up there and change. When we bought this house, I said to my husband, “What am I going to do about all my clothes?” He said, “I’m going to build you two closets in the attic, both airconditioned.” So I have one summer closet and one winter closet. I said to myself, “How lucky am I to have a husband who appreciates that?” [Laughs.]

Agreed! We heard you once met Coco Chanel.

Yes! I bought a brocade dress with a matching jacket, and I was going back and forth to Paris for fittings.

One day, the curtain opened up, and there was Mademoiselle Coco. She was much older then, and I was much younger then. She said, “Oh! So you’re the Texan!” And before I could say, “Oh, Mademoiselle Coco, I’m so flattered to meet you and I have such admiration…,” she whisked herself away.

What designers were you wearing before you ventured into the realm of couture?

Bill Blass, Oscar de la Renta, and Halston. I still have some Halston pieces. In fact, one of the pieces that I’ll never let go of is a Halston black cashmere cape with white cashmere inside. It’s just a knockout. I’ll travel with it sometimes. I just have to tell you a funny story about Bill Blass: I was wearing this evening dress that was a sort of brown and gold chic thing at something in New York, and he came up to me and said, “Lynn, you have that dress on backward!” and I said, “I know!

I wanted it to be a full V in the back and a high neck.”

He slowly walked all the way around me, and then he said, “You look great, babe.” [Laughs.] I’ll never forget it, and then he walked right off. He was a fabulous friend. I used to stay with him in his Connecticut house for years and years and years. I would get off the plane and go right to Connecticut and be with him for a long weekend. We’d take these long walks through his estate there, and we’d never, ever discuss fashion. Never.

What do you miss most about Oscar de la Renta?

Oscar himself. I was fortunate enough to be with him a lot and also at his house in the Dominican Republic.

I was there two or three times; it was fabulous. I love Annette. They were just a smashing couple together.

When he got sick, I would come to New York just to

PARTY PEOPLE Wyatt with Lady Gaga at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party; with Karl Lagerfeld at the Red Cross Ball in Monaco in 2003.

see him. We’d talk about everything, and he’d be up in the hospital bed with his gorgeous silk paisley robe.

Stylish to the end.

Did you continue to buy Oscar after he passed?

Yes. In fact, I gave a black-and-white ball last year at the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, and I had Peter [Copping] design my gown. On the invitation, it said, “Ladies’ attire: white, black, or black-and-white evening gown. Gentlemen: black tie.” I wore all white.

I love the dress, and I like Peter very, very much.

Which new designers do you love?

I love Brandon Maxwell and Erdem, but I can’t forsake my favorites like Carolina Herrera, Tory Burch, and Ralph Lauren.

Bill and Oscar aside, whose designs do you miss most?

Hubert de Givenchy’s. He is a great friend; we talk to each other on our birthdays all the time. And I miss the designs of Emanuel Ungaro. He could put prints together like nobody else could. I’ve got two fabulous haute couture coats of his that I still wear all the time. One is a silk, light brown evening coat with beautiful embroidered flowers. It’s received so many outstanding compliments that I hate to remove it to be coat-checked!

You had four boys. Who gets to enjoy your fabulous hand-me-downs?

I donate them. I’ve given some to friends because the clothes are always in good shape. Recently, I donated 12 beautiful gowns to Paddle8 to be auctioned off for the Rothko Chapel. One of them was strapless with a gorgeous fuchsia flower and cape. I think Hamish Bowles might have gotten that, I don’t know. He told me, “I’ve got my bid in for two gowns.” He wound up getting four. I was really flattered.

Is there anything in your closet that you’ve purchased but never worn?

There was this black dress that was haute couture and it was sort of an odd shape. But it had this beautiful flower, and the flower just made the whole dress. Every time I would try it on, I would take it off. I didn’t like it. So I take it back and we do it again—over and over, like three times. Finally, I just said, “Forget about it. Just let me have the flower.” [Laughs.]

Is there anything that shocks you on the runways today?

Oh my goodness, yes! I would say, grown women

wearing very risqué clothes in broad daylight. I just think that’s shocking. And now every 15-year-old girl is going to think it’s chic.

Are you surprised by the big spectacles that runway shows have become?

Well, I haven’t been to Fashion Week in a long time because I’ve been there, done that. But I’ll see something in magazines and I’ll order it. My most memorable fashion show was Karl Lagerfeld’s collection of what were called “chic Texan cowgirl clothes.” After the show, he saw me and said, ‘I dedicate it to you. Every drawing that I did, I thought about you.” Well, I almost burst into tears! [Laughs.]

Your experience with Chanel really came full circle.

I went to his first Chanel show. I remember when he was chosen to go to Chanel. I love Karl Lagerfeld so much. I’ll tell you something—he’s got the greatest sense of humor, he’s the most brilliant man, and he knows everything about everything. He reads incessantly. There are two sides of the brain, in my estimation. There’s the creative part and there’s the business part. He is the only person I know who is completely business-minded and completely fashionminded. We spent a lot of time together when I was younger. He once took me to Venice for a long weekend and I saw the city through his eyes.

Who has great style?

Carolina Herrera, Jacqueline de Ribes…I don’t know.

I’ll have to turn on Turner Classic Movies and see who comes up. [Laughs.] Princess Grace was a very close friend of mine. I stayed at the palace many times with her. She was just so elegant and so beautiful— beautiful inside as well as outside. I would definitely put her at the top of the list too.

Will you ever write your memoirs?

No, because I’ve been asked to do it so many times.

One time I was house-guesting with Elton John and he said, “I noticed that you don’t wear a watch at night.”

And I said, “That’s right. When a lady is out in the evening, she should not be concerned with the time.

If she really must know, she just turns to the man next to her and asks him.” The whole table said, “Oh my gosh, you’ve gotta write a book!” Elton offered to write the forward, but I don’t know. I’m very modest, so it’s hard for me to talk about myself. But I can tell fun stories! ß FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

and if she does really well her first season and starts getting editorial, she might move to the main board.

I started Taylor Hill when she was 15, and she wasn’t living in New York full-time. We took baby steps, and waited until she was ready to go.

How many girls do you work with now?

About 20, but not all of them are in New York. Some of them are developing in other markets, or in school or awaiting visa.

What kind of tone does Ivan Bart set in the office?

He’s very excited and passionate about what he does, and he wants his team to be that way too. We had a meeting recently, and he was saying things like, “I’m going to be there! We’re all in this together! No one is at an assistant level or a senior level. We’re a team!”

What was Gigi Hadid like when you first started working with her?

At first, she reminded me of Michaela Bercu, whom Anna Wintour put on her first cover of Vogue. Once I got to know Gigi, I saw her charisma. She has an amazing work ethic, and she’s so professional.

Kaia Gerber is another IMG superstar in the making, and you developed her. Thoughts?

She’s just amazing. She and Cindy Crawford came in for a meeting, and she was so young—she’s still so young— but she was so mature and poised. She’s a lovely person. She’s also just so good. Her mom was obviously a supermodel, so she was taught some tricks of the trade, but she’s going to be, no doubt, a supermodel.

WELL DEVELOPED How do models like Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Taylor Hill achieve superstar status? Talent and gorgeousness aside, they owe no small debt to Lisa DiRuocco, a longtime agent at IMG Models. She fosters new talent like it’s her job—and it is!

What’s your background?

I grew up in Middletown, New Jersey, and went to school at FIT, in New York City, as a fashion marketing major. I’ve always loved the industry—when I was a freshman in high school, I did a report for my English class about models and their agents. I got an A! How did a Jersey girl end up at IMG? After college, I heard about a job as a receptionist at a modeling agency. I was interested in styling, so I thought it would be a good way to meet photographers.

I walked into the interview, and the girl from HR had dated my cousin five years before. She didn’t recognize me, but I said, “I’m Leonard’s cousin!” I got the job.

It’s all thanks to cousin Leonard.

Exactly!

How did you transition to an agent role?

At the time, Maja Chiesi was [former president of IMG] Chuck Bennett’s assistant, and she was ready to move on to become a manager, so it was a natural move. I learned a lot working for Chuck.

How did you move up?

David Cunningham, who was running the development division, said he’d love for me to work in development, and I jumped at the chance. IMG was much smaller then, and everyone wore a lot of hats.

We had some top models, but not as many as we have now. The phone didn’t always ring, so you’d have to make it ring.

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

Who were some of the first models you represented?

Erin Wasson, Gemma Ward, Sasha Pivovarova, Daria Werbowy, and Jessica White. Some of them started when they were 15 years old, and most of them are still on the board.

What do you enjoy most about development?

I love starting from scratch and working from the bottom up. I take them shopping and teach them to walk, which is all we’ve been doing for the past two weeks leading up to Fashion Week. I love using great new photographers to put together a book, and then coming up with a plan to strategically promote them.

Do you cook? It seems like someone in development would be a good cook.

How’d you know? I cook a lot of Italian food. The development division is always fishing for invites to come to the DiRuocco house for a full-on meal.

Of the girls you’ve developed, is it hard to let them go to another manager?

Yes! We go through so much together. Sometimes the girls are with you for three years before they’re ready to go. With Misty Downs [who DiRuocco discovered at a Target store in Brick, New Jersey] it would be like giving up my child. But even when they move to the main board, we’re still involved.

How long is a model typically under your wing?

Sometimes I’ll get a model who’s 18 and ready to go,

These girls are teenagers when you meet them.

How do you connect with them on a personal level?

We find things in common. For some, fashion is an instant connection. Others like to talk about cooking.

They all keep me young.

How have teenagers changed over the years?

A lot. Teenagers are a lot smarter today. They have more access to information. Social media changed everything.

Maturity-wise, things haven’t changed much.

What excites you in a model?

Personality and passion. Those qualities usually make a model successful. At the beginning it’s nice to have your own personal style, but you want to listen to people with experience who can direct you to the next level. It’s harder for girls who aren’t into fashion—they are there to inspire the designers and stylists. It’s a craft.

How do you deal with parents?

I’m really strong in that area. Most of the time, I love a model’s parents. I always keep them in the loop; I’m motherly! I have a little boy who will be 5 this month. I love every minute of being a mom.

What does he think of your job?

I don’t think he fully understands it. At some point, I’ll probably be the cool mom. I brought him into the office once when Gigi was here, and he wouldn’t give her the time of day.

He’ll regret that someday.

I’ll remind him! ß

“Every few months, I like to see a different side to the town,” says Sumner, collecting her room key. “I fall in love with New York all over again!”

MAKING HERSELF COMFORTABLE...

While unpacking, Sumner discussed her summer. “In June, I did everything Time Out recommended: the outdoor cinema, bingo, and even Shakespeare in the Park. In August, I just sat inside and enjoyed the airconditioning.”

CAN WE MOVE IN?

“The hotel is so beautiful—minimal and chic, homey and friendly,” she says. “It’s a really young crowd, and the area is great. And it’s so close to the subway!”

TEA TIME!

“I’m going to do what the kids do, and tell all my friends on Facebook to meet me here,” she says, settling in for an afternoon pick-me-up on the hotel’s terrace. “Just kidding!” Instead, Sumner invites her friend, the producer Matt Fifer, for some tea. “We met at a Cinema Society event,” says Fifer. “RuPaul was there too,” interjects Sumner. “I’ve never been so starstruck. I was like a little child!”

COCKTAILS? Sumner hits the hotel’s elegant Evening Bar for some bubbly before heading back up to order room service. Did we end up joining her for a drink or deux off-camera?

No comment.

MORNING! “That was brilliant!” she says of her stay.

“Everybody should do this.” We completely agree.
