the
GRAND RE-ENTRY! With Elie Tahari
Alice + Olivia Booth: 3010
Why did you decide to return to Coterie? The line has changed so much, and a lot of people aren’t familiar with the new product. It’s a great way to introduce it to people who don’t come to New York Fashion Week. How is the collection different? Elie Tahari It’s very fluid and Booth: 4220 has a lot of texture, with lace, suede, and embroidery. It’s very specialized and much more feminine. How do you stay inspired? New York inspires Elie Tahari me. You walk onto the and Beverly Johnson street and you see the way that women dress or their attitude, and so many different kinds of people and nationalities. How did you celebrate Elie Tahari Day on September 4? We had the benefit party for the company in the showroom to show the new line!

SCENE
☛ Spotted at New York Fashion Week: The darling students of Berkeley College were on-site handing out The Daily Front Row! The business-based fashion program is introducing a semester system, adding courses like Interactive Fashion Communications for how to build branded content, and offering a wider variety of internship opportunities. ☛ Keep your eyes peeled for Tom Ford and Balenciaga Eyewear (both at Booth 2814)!
RETAIL WATCH! With Brookfield Place’s Callie Haines
A Moment with...
Sam Ku, President and Creative Director of AG What’s new with AG? Alexa Chung and Sam Ku The biggest change is our Booth: 5001 follow-up fall collection for the Alexa Chung collaboration, with a lot more categories—sweaters, silk blouses, and a whole suede group. How did you choose Alexa Chung as a collaborator? We were tossing around ideas and types of personalities. Alexa came up early in the conversation. The fact that she has such style credibility, and such a unique sense of style was a big part of what drew us to her. I think she does her denim in a unique way. How involved is she? She was very involved from the start. If we were too heavy-handed in the design process, it would remain too “AG” and not enough “Alexa Chung.”
What does Brookfield Place offer compared with other downtown retail spots? We have a unique mix of amenities here. We have the waterfront, and we’re so close to so many subways. What was the highlight of the summer? Our Hudson Music Festival. With the retail opening in March, it was almost treated as an opening event. What has traffic been like? It’s a neighborhood spot right now, and that’s what we really intended it to be. When construction on West Street is done, it will be easier for tourists at the 9/11 Memorial to visit.
EXHIBITORS’ SLEEP SECRETS! “I don’t have a regular sleep schedule—I tend to wake up and go to bed at all hours depending where in the world I am. I’m definitely more of a night person than a morning person, and I feel most creative and productive when most people are asleep. I love my Pratesi sheets from Wilkes Bashford.”
—Pamella Roland (Booth: 10204) FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

“It’s never enough! Although I’ve gotten very lucky with my kids—they used to wake up between 6 and 6:30, but they started sleeping longer. I’ve been getting to sleep in until 8:15, unless I work out, in which case I’m up at 7. I finally collapse at the end of the day once they’re in bed. I always play ocean sounds to help them fall asleep, and it’s actually helped me, too! My sheets are John Robshaw & Roberta Roller Rabbit.”
—Rebecca Minkoff (Booths: 4607, 5007)
fashion collab alert! With Brian Robinson, head of creative for design and development, DreamWorks Animation
How did the CFDA/ Amazon partnership with DreamWorks come about? We’re always looking for new ways to tell stories with our characters, and fashion— and the amazing ecosystem that surrounds it—serves as its own form of “content” with its own built-in content channels. CFDA approached us about supporting the first men’s week, and we jumped at the opportunity to bring DreamWorks characters to life in a unique way. We developed this Character Clash concept. How did you select the designers for the collaboration? We needed an eclectic group of designers who would bring their unique aesthetics to their designs.
“I have a super strong circadian rhythm, so I never really set an alarm unless I have a 4 a.m. call time. My body wakes up a minute before the alarm if I do set one—it just knows. I definitely function best on eight hours and don’t really feel like myself with less.”
—Mara Hoffman (Booth: 5110)

Eugenia Kim
Eugenia Kim, Designer and Owner, Booth: 3823 What is your favorite trend for Fall 2015? I’m super excited that fur is such a huge trend for our Fall/Winter collection. We have fur trim on everything from mink poms on our Honey wide-brim felt floppy to mink trim on our Daria pump.

She is a strong, confident, and intelligent individual with a left-of-center sense of style and humor. Where do you enjoy quiet time in NYC?

My daughters began working with me six months ago. They inspire me and bring a younger perspective. They helped me to design a fresh and playful new collection. Who is your style icon?

Shivam Punjya, Founder, and Ashley Parenti, Business Development Director, Booth: 4832
Sarah Pacini
Naila Jaffer, CEO and Artistic Director, Booth: 1825
What first inspired you to be a designer? ASHLEY: My mom made a lot of my clothes growing up, and her mother for her, so I was taught how to sew at a very early age. I would buy those pre-made patterns, but I eventually found them very limiting, so I would cut them up and change them, and by the time I was 16, I stopped using them and made my own “dress form.” Who is your style icon? SHIVAM: Anyone who never intended to be an icon. Style is serendipitous and it should be whimsically personal. ASHLEY: Grace Jones! Who was your mentor? SHIVAM: Entering into this industry without fashion knowledge, everyone who gave constructive criticism became a mentor. ASHLEY: Chris Benz. I had a mentorship with him for my thesis project at SCAD and also worked for him when I first moved to New York.
How would you describe the woman who wears the line? She is a woman of substance, who likes fashion beyond the usual. She is cosmopolitan and modern, and leads an active life. But most of all she is passionate, whatever her passion may be. Age is not important. Where did you travel this year? Sha Wellness Clinic in Alicante, Spain. What are you reading right now? I just finished The Forty Rules of Love, by Elif Shafak, a Turkish writer. What an amazing story! What is the story behind the brand? The beginning was in Belgium, however many other countries were quick to fall under the brand’s spell. We’ve had a major presence at international trade and fashion events since 1998. Today, the collection is made in Italy and distributed in 48 countries across five continents.
Jonathan Adler Jonathan Adler, Potter and Designer, Booth: 4000
Who is your dream collaboration? I’d love to design a car. What is your design process like? Everything I make starts in the pottery studio. It’s where I work out all my ideas. What do you listen to while you design? I have the musical tastes of a 13-year-old
girl. Whatever’s the numberone song on the radio is my favorite. Who was your mentor? My pottery teacher in college who told me I had no talent and should move to New York and become a lawyer. Every creative person needs a naysayer to rebel against. If you could make one trend disappear, what would it be? I wouldn’t be upset if taxidermy disappeared. It’s just sad. What’s the best place you’ve traveled this year? Capri always.

Hats Off
For those who doubt kismet, meet Eugenia Kim. The accomplished milliner began designing out of sheer necessity, and was discovered while wearing her creations as she paraded the streets of New York. Here, she shares how it all began and what’s in store for the future. BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER You initially thought you wanted to be a doctor. Tell us more! I come from a family of doctors, and grew up thinking I wanted to be one. Freshman year in college, I was sledding on a cafeteria tray on the campus golf course and broke my back. I was in the hospital for a month, and it was really depressing. After that incident, I lost some desire to go into medicine. I minored in creative writing, and got my first job at Allure as an editorial assistant. The magazine paid for me to take a hat design class at Parsons, and the rest is history! How did you get your start designing? One night I decided to cut my own hair. It was really screwed up and jagged, and I had to shave my head. As winter neared, and I came to realize that I looked more like the Dalai Lama than Sinéad O’Connor, I ended up designing a feathered hat to keep my head warm and to give the illusion of hair. Walking around downtown, store owners took notice, and I began selling in a couple of boutiques. Soon after, I received my first order from Barneys New York. Stylists started pulling my hats for shoots and asked me to design hats for W and for David LaChapelle. So do you consider yourself a daredevil? The sledding incident was symptomatic of my young fearlessness. I was always pushing the envelope and taking risks. I was rebellious and didn’t listen to anyone…I was the only student that was consistently in all the AP classes and in detention. I guess I was meant to have my own company because it allows me to not have to answer to anyone but myself. What inspired your Spring 2016 collection? MoMa’s recent exhibit, “Henri Matisse: The Cut-Outs,” which showcased the artist’s later works. We were really attracted to the way he created abstract shapes of leaves and algae using hard-edge precision with scissors and paper. We designed the hats with the same notion of simplicity and ease. This similar idea has also been translated in the trims and embellishments. For example, the Courtney wide-brim fedora features a loose knot hand-painted band. The vibrant colors are representative of Matisse’s art, specifically, his piece Large Composition with Masks. Can you share a few tips for choosing the best hat to complement facial features? It’s best to choose a hat that is a counterpoint to one’s features. Some examples: Round crowns soften angular faces, fedora crowns add angles to round faces, and wide brims counter long “Bert” faces and also slim down wide “Ernie” faces

Great tips! Tell us about the celebrities you’ve seen wearing your hats. We’ve worked with Beyoncé and Madonna to design custom styles for their tours. Other celebrity fans are Lady Gaga, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jared Leto…and the list goes on! Impressive list—can you tell us about your earliest memory of fashion? I’m a child of the ’80s, and fashion was highly influenced by the music of the time, like Madonna with her lace and DIY outfits. I remember going to my first Madonna concert at 11 dressed head-to-toe in full Madonna gear, and I even appeared at the beginning of her “Dress You Up” video before MTV edited out all the pre-show footage. I still can’t believe she is a regular Eugenia Kim wearer now! I have been designing her tour hats for almost 15 years. What is your design process like? It’s pretty organic. We usually start with a mishmash of different inspirations, then shapes and materials, then sampling, and all of a sudden, all these amazing hats appear almost overnight. We do a lot of experimenting with techniques to create newness. My mind works in Excel and chart format so we create these visual Excels to outline the collection as well. Tell us about your shoe designs! The shoe collection has evolved from the time I launched in 2003. Back then, the shoes were whimsical but literal. This time around, the shoes are made with luxurious materials, have clean lines, are based on exciting ideas, and are different from what’s out in the market. I find that newer shoe designers tend to “trick out” their shoes, so you essentially can only wear those designs if you are Tommy Ton bait. As with my hats, I am focusing on wearable yet striking shoes that are decidedly left of center. What has been your favorite trade show moment? I don’t get starstruck easily. However, for one collection, I designed an ’80s-style multi-bow hair accessory inspired by Saved by the Bell’s Kelly Kapowski the night before the show. Appropriately, I named it Kelly. The first day of the show, in walks the Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, and I freaked out like a crazy fan, and asked her to take photos with me. She asked to do personals. Obviously, I said yes! What are you most excited about for Coterie this year? I feel that this is, by far, the best Spring/Summer collection to date. Coterie has always been amazingly successful for Eugenia Kim, but I think this time, no one will be able to resist the exciting designs we are putting out!

What’s new in the world of Zac Posen? ZAC Zac Posen has seen lots of demand from retailers. We’ve seen double-digit growth in our accessories and handbags. We also have jewelry and hosiery. The collection is very day-to-evening pieces and body-con and flowy cocktail and evening dresses. It’s exciting to see your young baby grow, and for it to get its own identity beyond the main line brand. And to kick off New York Fashion Week, ZZP partnered with Google and Made with Code. What was the inspiration behind the collection? It pulls inspiration from my trip to L.A., and has palm leaf patterns, animal prints, touches of blues, blush pink, seafoam green, and sandtones. It has that L.A. mood, and a little Coachella in there with the longer dresses. We used appliqué techniques on some of the outerwear, rainwear, and some of the bags. Tell us about some of your collaborations. At the moment our partners are Delta, American Express, and Brooks Brothers, and we have our line with David’s Bridal. My plate is quite full and we have an incredible group of collaborators that I’m proud of. Shooting a TV show is a lot too. We have four Emmy nominations this year, which is the most in the show’s history. I can’t wait to have the right moment to find the best-in-class shoe partner. I’ve learned to wait for the right partnership at the right moment, and not to rush an evolution of a brand. I’m not a designer who shows things on the runway that I don’t produce, except for this season’s LED dress that Coco Rocha wore! But I’m sure there’s going to be customers for that. What is it that makes you and Coco Rocha work so well together? She’s a gem and a lovely person, and is also a spectacular model. She’s only missed one show working with me, and that’s when she was pregnant! She’s passionate and she gets the big picture. She has major longevity. Have you met her baby? Yeah, of course! I’m Uncle Zac. Cute! Being on a Lifetime show, do you have a favorite Lifetime Original Movie? There are so many! I lived through the experience of my friend Gina Gershon, who was in House of Versace. Tell us about your role at Brooks Brothers, please! It’s an incredible experience to do sportswear. Brooks’ heritage is a global representation of American fashion. I feel really proud to be delivering one of the highest quality products at that price point in the global fashion industry. I know that’s a big thing to say, but when you’re able to use Loro Piana fabrics at that price point—it’s a dream come true for me. How do you switch gears from one line to the other? My #cookingwithzac hashtag is my fashion detox! As you learn from working on different lines, the key to growing a business is knowing your strengths, learning how to be a good delegator and leader, making quick decisions and owning them, and giving it your all. My greatest strength is when I’m hands-on. You’re working on so many things—would you say you’re stressed out? Not at all. I’ve been in this business for 14 years. I still get excited, I’m still passionate, and I feel fortunate to do what I love. You can’t bring that kind of stress and hysteria into your professional environment. When that anxiety starts to appear, you’ve got to focus that to do something positive for somebody else. You have to be passionate, involved, and a perfectionist, but the key to success is about enjoying the process. I learned that from Madonna. She’s amazing. Any other ways you like to relax? I swim and I stretch. Anybody that’s on the Project Runway set knows that I’m like a little dancing bean. Heidi [Klum] and I think one day we’ll do Project Runway: The Musical. I’m joking! We don’t have time for it. It’s continuous work all the time. I’m not doing what I do to live a lifestyle—what I’m doing is my lifestyle. Since you’ve been on TV, do people recognize you on the street more often? Absolutely! I had to move out of Soho a few years ago because of it! Did you spend your summer in the city? I spent a few weekends with my family in Pennsylvania, and I went to Berlin for 36 hours, looking for the international designers of the future at Fashion Week. How was that experience? Wonderful! I’ve always worked with different universities, like FIT, RISD, SCAD, and Parsons. I’m doing a lecture with Fern Mallis at the Y in December. It’s important to encourage people and be an approachable figure. How long have you been showing at Coterie? We’ve shown our accessories line, but we’ve never done the whole world of Zac! What made you decide to go all-in this year? The interest from retailers. [Coterie] has a great reach, and at the end of the day, we’re in the business of selling clothing and product, and building a brand. It’s one of the best platforms for that in the U.S.
It’s exciting to see your young baby grow, and for it to get its own identity beyond the main line brand.”

Zac
He’s serious when it comes to business, designing his eponymous lines and for Brooks Brothers, but Zac Posen is unfailingly fun, charming, and energetic. Will there be a Project Runway musical? Who calls him Uncle Zac? What did he learn from Madonna? We gave him a ring to find out! BY KRISTEN HEINZINGER FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

posen The sister line to the gala glam Zac Posen line is for the young girl with places to go and more than one place to be seen. In keeping with that idea, every look was shown with flats, from a powdery blue evening dress to a tailored miniskirt suit. Running from one party to the next has never looked so chic! Booth: 3020
