Stacey does yoga. Do you?

Maybe.

How’s it going, Richard?

It was a calm process this season—very lovely and chill. I was inspired by my love of New York. People think it’s a concrete jungle, but I find it beautiful and romantic.

The Jonas Brothers were at your show!

How do you know them?

Their publicist and my publicist! I’ve been dressing them for their concerts. A great publicist can make these things happen.

Are you a cooler boss due to this friendship?

My assistants are very starry-eyed when they’re around the Jonas Brothers. It’s very sweet.

CALIFORNIA DREAMIN’!

With Trina Turk BOOTH: 1806, LEVEL 3

TRINA TURK

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

Where are you taking us for Spring ’14?

On a California road trip, up the Pacific Coast Highway. It’s a little beachy and a little casual.

We incorporated swimwear into the looks, too. Plus Mr. Turk menswear, because you might want a cute boy to go on this trip with you.

Where does this fantasy road trip start and end?

It starts in L.A. and goes

up the coast to San Francisco, with stops in Monterey, Big Sur, San Luis Obispo, and some wineries.

Any similarities between Trina Turk and Mr. Turk?

They both love colors and patterns, and they are not wallflowers.

My husband, Jonathan, actually designs Mr. Turk.

How do Trina and Mr. Turk know each other?

Their paths have crossed, but they’re not married or a couple!

your daily dose GOING FOR THE GOLD! With VPL’s Victoria Bartlett

BOOTH: 2621, LEVEL 3

Spring ’14 inspiration, please!

It was all about the Olympics— both the heroic and badass elements. I also focused on color blocking.

Did you try anything new for your latest collection?

My signature aesthetic is lingerie as outerwear. But with this collection, I wanted to go deep into technology.

How did you get all tech-savvy?

By using fabrics made of seaweed, and also ones that have U.V. protection.

Zac Posen Spring 2014

CHIC TRAVELS! With Theodora & Callum’s Desiree Gruber and Stefani Greenfield BOOTH: 2024, LEVEL 3 What’s new with Theodora & Callum?

Stefani Greenfield: We recently designed a kids’ collection that is so close to my heart. I love seeing my daughter Theodora and her friends in our signature prints and bright colors!

We’ve expanded our cover-up collection to include pants. Throw them on with a sleek swimsuit for the ultimate in Mediterranean chic.

Any fun collabs on the docket?

Desiree Gruber: Look out for us this season on Project Runway All Stars! As an executive producer of Project Runway, that was very exciting for me.

Where was your last vacay spot that inspired a scarf?

SG: We traveled to Marrakech this year, which inspired our Bahia and Medina scarves. Everywhere you look, there’s an elaborate pattern or captivating color, from intricate details on hand carved ceilings to the incredible tile work.

Any unexpected uses of your scarves?

DG: They actually make great baby swaddles!

BACK TO BASICS! With Tibi’s Amy Smilovic BOOTH: 1503, LEVEL 3 What’s the backstory of your Spring ‘14 collection?

There’s an organic element. I’m tired of mass production!

There are so many techno fabrics out there; I was really craving natural fibers.

Like the wood detailing?

Yes! I found these guys in Italy that make those wood hats, and these guys in Israel that make those wood clutches, and the shoes have wood detailing, too, to bring it all together.

How do you feel about your Spring ’14 show?

It was my favorite show I’ve done, ever! Everything just came together: it was clean, cool, and feminine.

Tibi Spring 2014

What’s your reaction when you see someone don one of your frocks?

It’s the best feeling in the world to see someone walking down the street in one of your dresses!

I love Pulqueria, in Chinatown!

Who’s your muse this Rolando Santana season?

Elle Fanning embodies the Rolo&Ale line. She’s a stylish girl that travels, goes out, and loves fun clothes that reflect her personality.

A MOMENT WITH...

Courtney Moss, co-founder of Glamourpuss NYC BOOTH: 1736, LEVEL 3 How’d you and Gigi Mortimer create a collection of furry mittens and funnels?

We came up with the idea at one our sons’ hockey tournaments at Lasker Rink in Central Park. We were complaining about cold, dark depressing mornings. We wanted something practical, beautiful, and fun to wear to our sons’ hockey games!

How has the brand expanded?

We started with 10 colors and now offer 32, along with four variations on the styles—we also have a complete line of accessories, vests, and outerwear, which launched at Saks Fifth Avenue. We’ve also added a Resort Ready collection: tunics, cover-ups, and beach skirts designed to go from cabana to cocktails.

How’s the line expanding next?

We’re really focusing on a handbag collection for Fall 2014!

Do you have a fur obsession?

Doesn’t everyone?!

OOPS! In yesterday’s issue of

The Daily, the feature on Erickson Beamon incorrectly referred to Karen Erickson as Karen Beamon. Our apologies, cheris!

SHIPS BY WOODEN U PAOLA B ENDIA Paula Budendia, Founder and Designer, Booth: 6245, Level 3 Tell us the history of the brand, please!

I went backpacking to see a friend in Borneo and basically never left Indonesia. I was blown away by Bali—I had been expecting a touristy place and was only going to pass through, but it turned out to be incredible. People come here to create and I knew this was where I wanted to create my brand.

What does the name mean?

We are asked all the time about the name! Yes, we do love Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and that particular song. But we were also inspired by the idea of old trading ships bringing goods from other lands.

You’ve said your brand provides “comfort food” for the industry. Can you explain?

For me, looking good is totally connected to feeling comfortable. Plus, knits have a slouchiness that makes them immediately casual.

I love fashion, but not necessarily the fashion world, so I love that within it we get to be the “comfort food.” Who doesn’t love a snuggly beret?

WILDFOX

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

Kim Gordon, Co-Founder and Creative Director, Booth: 6428, Level 3 Tell us about the name!

It’s provocative and is meant to conjure up a vintage Seventies feeling. The brand is very vintage inspired.

What about the fox?! Is that your spirit animal?

I think my spirit animal would be a domestic rat. Sort of weird, but so cute and funny!

Describe your personal style.

Vintage French school girl, lots of collars under little dresses and sweaters and socks with high heels. I wear tons of vintage dresses—you should see my closet! Black, black, black and major amounts of Wildfox baggy beach jumpers.

Lucky! Was there a campaign shoot that was extra fun?

When we did “It’s Only Rock N Roll (But I Like It).” It was a rock groupie themed shoot and we shot it at our old High School theatre in Santa Barbara.

DESIGUAL Manel Jadraque, Managing Director, Booth: 6430, Level 3 Tell us a brief history of the brand, please!

In 1984, a 20-year-old named Thomas Meyer from Switzerland sold T-shirts with graffiti and kaleidoscopic prints that he designed at the markets on the island of Ibiza. He decided to expand his line, and when he found himself with a surplus of jeans he cut off the legs and made them into jackets, which became a best seller! A year later, Thomas launched his first full collection, choosing the name DESIGUAL, which means “not the same.”

We believe in the idea of feeling comfortable in your own skin, loving yourself, and feeling alive.

MA by Marion Ayonote

What does your job description entail?

I am vice president of footwear for Advanstar, which incorporates all the footwear shows we have. These include FN PLATFORM, Sole Commerce, Project Sole NYC, and The Collections at WSA. Does that mean you personally choose the shoe brands?

Exactly! I help merchandise and make sure that everyone is in the right show based upon their product type and price point.

What did you do before you were the VP? I ran The Collections at WSA and before that I was in the apparel business. I was the VP of Geoffrey Beene and before that I worked for Escada and Pauline Trigère.

What brands have you been wearing recently?

Sigerson Morrison, Claudia Ciuti, and Attilio Giusti Leombruni.

What are the most comfortable shoes to wear when walking the trade show floors?

I love my Superga’s and my Chloé flats.

What has it been like to work with Tom Florio?

I love working with Tom! It’s like I’m back in the fashion business. He calls me the Anna Wintour of the shoe industry. I guess that’s a compliment!

What’s the best advice anyone has given you on your way to the top?

I think you have to be a good person! And you have to go with your gut; that usually leads to the best decisions.

Give us the scoop on the top footwear trends!

Sneakers in any form, men’s inspired footwear, a bit of a lower heel and more feminine pumps, which are reminiscent of the Forties and Fifties.

Is there anything you’ve learned about shoes from working in this position?

There’s so much passion and camaraderie in the footwear industry, quite unlike the apparel industry. They’re like one big club, like the Masons!

They really stick together. The footwear industry is philanthropic, and they all help each other out tremendously. Finding that out was truly an eyeopening experience.

PACKERS Sometimes it is about the destination and not the journey. So how do the fashion jet set pack for London, Paris, and Milan? Get your boarding passes out, chéries. It’s going to be a bumpy ride…

I pack what fits well.

A lot of people give up fit for fashion, and I do the opposite. If something’s fitted, it looks better and goes a long way.

—Rachel Roy

You have to pack for more than one season, and you have to pack in a way that you don’t get bored with yourself, because you have to spend a lot of time on the road.

Somehow you want to have enough things to get inspired in the morning. Because you need a lot of inspiration to carry on every day.

—Stefano Tonchi, W

It depends on the weather, but I normally try to go all black. I’ll bring a dress and a pair of jeans that I love and can wear every single day. A few pairs of flat shoes, one pair of heels, a blazer, and a black and gray sweater. —Dree Hemmingway “I go with the culture or what I think is the culture just to express myself differently. When you’re traveling, you must wear those clothes. So sometimes I force myself to bring outfits I haven’t worn for a very long time, and I’m forced to wear it!”

—Coco Rocha

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

I’m not one to plan my outfits out. I’m about basics like caftans, leather pants, T-shirts, and flats and jean jacket and plaid shirt.

I lay out a different outfit, bag, and shoe for each day. So I lay them all out on the floor and it’s literally like a run-through from my past editorial days, and I get a bag and I put the outfits in, then shoes in, and then the bags, and then—boom, packed!

—Aliza Licht, DKNY

I pack a lot! I have a huge TravelPro suitcase—if anyone travels abroad, get TravelPro: They’re really light and really affordable. I usually bring about three bags. Two rollers and a carry on.

—Claire Sulmers, Vogue Italia

I make a chart. I fully plan it out. I do it the day before, but I will make an outfit for all of the 16 days. For Milan and Paris.

—Alejandro Ingelmo

I color-coordinate everything and I pack starting with black, then navy blue, then all the dark colors all the way to ivory, beige, and white.

—Jessica White

There has to be a color story and I have to be able to find everything.

Some stable statement and basic pieces.

—Deborah Lloyd, Kate Spade, creative director

Light, just a carry on. I’d rather hold everything.

—Brad Goreski

I’m a big fan of the rolling method. I roll everything up into burritos and stick them into my suitcase.

—Andrew Bevan, Teen Vogue

It’s much easier for guys!

I can bring a grey suit, a blue suit, and a black suit and then just a blazer and a great pair of jeans and I can have four shirts and then just flip the ties out and look completely different each day. You can really get away with murder.—Nigel Barker

It’s just about having dark basics and then throwing them together. If it’s all dark, no one will know that you wore the same thing all the time in four cities.

—Miguel Enamorado, Interview

I take photos of everything that I’m going to wear, so I have a little map of what I’m wearing.

—Cameron Silver

I love a good dress that can be zipped into the bottom of a duffel bag. I have a trusty travel steamer that comes with me wherever I go.—Ann Shoket, Seventeen

A MOMENT WITH…

Linda Fargo and Ken Downing How do you pack for Europe?

Linda: I pack heavily because you just never know. What’s the weather? Am I going to feel fat? I have to feel like anything might happen to me like if I get invited to the best cocktail party or maybe I’ll get asked on a romantic date. I just want to be prepared.

How many bags are we talking?

Linda: I’m at about three. One is always a carry on, because they once lost my bags for almost five days, but Ken, who’s my great travel companion, seriously brings two little carry bags so we try to get the airlines to blend our bags as if we were one person.

Ken: It’s true!

Linda: And I hate to say it, but he’s a little bit of a mule, but he’s the sweetest mule!

He carries your luggage?

Ken: I do, actually!

Linda: If it sounds like I’m kissing his tootie right now, it’s because I am. I need to butter him up to be prepared to carry my bags.

Ken: I could get to Europe with two jeans and four shirts if I were allowed to do that.

Linda: His bag is like, Mary Poppins’ bag. He always looks fresh, and that bag seems to be endless, but it’s so small! And, by the way, if he’s getting tired of what he brought or doesn’t like it, he runs down the street and buys a little something at some where that I can’t mention.

Ken: Oh, you can say it.

Linda: OK, it’s Zara.

RUNWAY

Spring 2014

DIANE VON FURSTENBERG Ever the goddess of Zen, DvF asked in her show notes that we be our own oasis…an unexpected source of reverie, serenity and beauty…And she followed it all with a rockingly-hot collection of golden hot-pants (on Joan), head to toe zebra (on Karlie), glittering golden dresses, cobalt, red, tie-die effects, tropical slivers of tangerine and citron and the ever riotous cherry on the fashion cake, Naomi Campbell in the finale. Perhaps we shall call it an oasis of…joie?

DESIGUAL

Patterns galore! The ebullient Spanish brand didn’t hold back on the wide-set stripes, touches of tie dye, and mega-sized florals, often juxtaposed together. The accessory of choice? Beaming grins on every mod. Olé Ol Olé!!

TRACY REESE Feminine fare with a fresh AfroCuban twist. Reese’s latest was rife with crop tops, circle skirts, and trumpet hems. Reese’s prints were aplenty: Blooming hibiscus and poppies, floral tapestry, stripes and checks, along with an all white palate cleanser of lace and eyelets.

Spring 2014 REBECCA

TAYLOR Taylor knows exactly what her girl wants, and for Spring, she delivered it once again with success.

The enthusiastic crowd cheering her runway show in Chelsea was living proof of the designer’s irresistible appeal. This season she kept it feminine and modern with a tomboy edge.

If you’re already a Taylor devotee you won’t be let down, but we wouldn’t be surprised if she picked up new fans next Spring.

NICOLE MILLER Lithe models slinked down Nicole Miller’s opulent golden runway, with each piece competing in glittery glam factor with the last. These rebels with a single-minded cause—to be totally gorgeous!—were inspired by Versailles.

For their frolics through the flora, they donned skin tight pants, in black leather or slashed denim, with bejeweled and overflowing tops.

CYNTHIA ROWLEY Crafty and high-tech touches shared the spotlight in Rowley’s array of cheeky cocktail frocks, printed wetsuits, Fiftiesesque appliquéd full skirts, and graphic knits.

MILLY

Designer Michelle Smith’s strong yet sexy vision took shape in Hawaiian and Japanese printed maillots and body con frocks, transparent lace and mesh midi pencil skirts, bralettes, and zippered crop tops.

Electric hits of neon got threaded into tribal motifs for Custo’s latest, via structured shorts, crisp jackets, and billowing gowns. Hotpants, feathered minis, patterned visors rounded out the delightfully busy tour de force.

TADASHI SHOJI One of the most popular designers in his category—cocktail frocks and evening gowns, Shoji reliably delivers the softest and most feminine dresses, cut to enhance all body shapes and proportions, infusing eveningwear with a je ne sais quoi of grace that is rare and unique. This season, white, black and lace dominated his range.
