Don’t just jump on the first opportunity— walk around several neighborhoods and get a feel for them. Also, make sure you collaborate with your agent! Is Madison Avenue on the rebound? It’s back! Areas in Carnegie Hill and Midtown are leasing fast. What’s happening, commercial space-wise, on the LES and Chinatown? These areas do well when SoHo has run out of space—they suffered during the downturn, but now that retailers and designers are expanding again. They are getting another look, particularly on the Lower East Side. It might not have the foot traffic of SoHo, but it’s worth the investment if you can watch and wait for a great deal. When should we start looking for Hamptons’ rentals? The market is already heating up, and we expect it to get even hotter.

With Michael Musto at Charlotte Ronson

Have you mellowed? a little bit. It’s hard to maintain that level of rage, especially when you maintain a certain level of success. You’re not railing against everyone trying to get noticed anymore. I find it healthy to keep a punky edge and still let off steam on people who deserve it. Any goss on Nick and Calvin? Nick swears it’s for real as he snaps his fingers for the servant. He’s exploring other career options now. Such as? Expect him to take his clothes off again. Isn’t he getting into training? Beyond that. Playgirl? Something of that ilk.

Do people mistake you for Rooney Mara? Never! You look so much alike! Well...She now has my haircut, but I came out of the womb with this ‘do. I had it first! You’re a fashion girl! It’s inspiring to get ideas for the red carpet. Maybe one day I’ll have a line of my own! Your new ABC show is called Don’t Trust the B*tch in Apartment 23. Is everybody asking if you’re bitchy in real life? uh, yes! I don’t worry about playing an unlikable character at all. I actually think she’s fabulous and free-spirited, and she has no emotional attachments to anybody. She says things we’re all thinking. It’s the best character on television, and I’m so grateful to get to play her! Are all bitches fabulous? No! Bitch is a state of mind.

BUDGET CHECK! With Daily financial columnist Kyle Anderson Why is everyone so interested in your finances? If they knew what I actually spend! My column only concerns what I buy on weekends. If I included my rent, I’d probably get death threats. I live with my boyfriend now, but it’s something like $5,000. What does he do? He’s a hairstylist. Your kind of spending

is not done on a Marie Claire salary! I’m married. You’re not going to go into credit card debt, right? No. My mom is German—she’s obsessed with order. Paying things back immediately is how I was raised. I was at my desk so much as an assistant that money came in, but I didn’t have time to spend it!

redesign reduX! ! With cindi leive

What are two things we might not notice about the revamp? Our letters’ page editor came up with the idea of doing a ‘tag cloud.’ The March page is about the January issue featuring the Kardashians, and they actually mapped the words most frequently used to describe the Kardashians. Beautiful was the number-one word, but it was followed shortly by ‘fame whore’ and ‘Kar-trashian.’ any other fun new additions? Also, the April issue has a contest where we’re showing a baby picture of our May cover girl— if our readers can guess who it is, you win the cover girl’s entire wardrobe! What was the most nerve-wracking aspect of the redesign? We’ve done a pink logo for at least two years, and we went bright yellow for the March issue. I love it! What were you thinking right before seeing the first-bound copy? There’s always a bit of nervousness, and I’ve been in this business long enough to know that you hesitate before opening the magazine because you’re afraid you’ll see a typo. do you think the readership will change? We’re not looking for a conscious change in readership. But the feedback so far from readers of all ages has been confident, excited, and enthused. Which mags did you take cues from when working on this? I love Jim Nelson’s GQ—they really nail it, design-wise. I read Entertainment Weekly and like its take on pop culture. I also read a lot of English magazines, such as our own UK Glamour and Grazia UK.

red carpet!

You know her as the most sought-after stylist of our time, holding top-tier positions at Italian Vogue, Allure, and W and influencing an entire generation of fashionettes. But did you also know Lori Goldstein got married chez Leibovitz, has a penchant for Domino’s thin-crust pizza (it’s an Ohio thing), and loathes the mere mention of the red carpet? Meet fashion’s most original paradox. BY MARIA DENARDO. phOtOGRAphY BY GIORGIO NIRO FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

Are you really from Ohio? Yes! I’m from Columbus, but I grew up in Cincinnati. My dad was an entrepreneur, and my mom was a housewife. Ohio is a great place to grow up. Being different from everyone was this great gift because I always knew that someday I would leave. What was your first summer job? I worked in special education camps. I loved fashion, but I also thought about being a special-ed teacher. Go figure! What’s your most Midwestern quality? Probably how nice I am. I have a normal side. I’m definitely jaded when it comes to demands and wanting something now. That’s New York, but I still respect people. Sometimes a cab driver tells me the most amazing stories. That’s one of the reasons I don’t really fit into this business. Really? You still feel like an outsider? It’s how I’ve always felt: it’s part of my personality. I love diversity and

“We both were two nuts, saying things like, ‘OMG, she doesn’t like me,’ and ‘Well, I don’t like her either.’ We’re artists! We’re insecure!” individuality, but I don’t feel like this industry celebrates that in human beings. It’s very narrow-minded. I’ve always been the rebel, punk rocker that’s walked to the beat of my own drum. Who was your mentor? Well, when I first left Ohio, I moved to LA to follow a kooky boyfriend I didn’t even really like. In LA, I started working for Fred Segal, who I really respected because he didn’t follow the pack. He wasn’t interested in being in fashion. That still inspires me. What happened to the boyfriend? I think he’s in jail! No, I’m kidding. I actually ran into him in Paris not too long ago. He was an art dealer many years ago. I hope he’s well. Thank you, Mark! Back to Fred Segal. I’d only worked with him for three months, and he asked me to go with him on a buying trip to New York for the boutique shows. I was 21, and it was the end of the seventies. I remember being in the car and seeing the skyline thinking, ‘I’m home.’ Six months later I was in New York, and the rest is history. How has fashion changed? When I first moved to New York, the fashion industry as we know it today wasn’t formulated yet. It was very Seventh Avenue. You worked in a showroom or in retail. The job of a stylist was kind of nonexistent, and back then, ‘stylist’ was a dirty word. If you weren’t an editor at a magazine, sort of that prim and proper person, you did catalogues and that was it. I’ve really watched it grow and become more artistic, individualistic, and corporate. How did people treat you at first? It helped that I thought outside the box,

but when I started out, you couldn’t get clothes unless it was for credit. So if there weren’t credits for Madonna’s album cover, I couldn’t borrow clothes for her. Now, you can say Joe Shmoe is walking on the red carpet, and they’ll throw clothes at him for free. What do you think of the red carpet? I hate that phrase, ‘red carpet.’ That’s so not my world. As much as I could love those clothes, I can’t use them in a shoot since they’ve been all over the red carpet a week after they’re on the runways. It’s really diluted the brilliance of fashion. Is there a solution? In the old days, the Oscars were so glamorous, but after years of overexposure and watering-down, they have no meaning. There are a lot of incredibly talented actors and actresses who deserve to be celebrated for their craft. It shouldn’t be, ‘What are you wearing, Meryl Streep?’ It’s just gross. That’s what the word ‘gross’ was invented for. Mediocrity has become the norm. My generation was able to experience individuality and eccentricity. We might need an Occupy Red Carpet! How long should someone assist before they break out on their own? I never assisted, but that’s rare. I’d say two years. There are logistics to learn, and that takes time. Everyone wants this instant gratification. I watch so many people who aren’t ready to go out on their own. It’s a hard world. It’s freelance, and it’s about so much more than having great taste. We take our jobs very seriously. It’s amazing how serious the industry is! Too serious? In certain ways, of course, but not when it comes to shoots and wanting to get the job done well. I had jobs in the beginning of my career where I put extraordinary pressure on myself. I didn’t sleep the night before the shoot for the first 10 years of my career. I know now that no matter what, things will go wrong, but we’ll always have an amazing shoot in the end. What project are you most proud of? Off the top of my head, the Versace campaign with Steven Meisel. Also, all the Italian Vogues. That was a moment in my career that was a crescendo of creativity and teamwork with friends. What was your first meeting like with Annie Leibovitz? We both were two nuts, saying things like, ‘OMG, she doesn’t like me,’ and ‘Well, I don’t like her either.’ We’re artists! We’re insecure! After traveling together for shoots, we finally realized how similar we are. She’s a mentor, after Fred. We have a great respect for each other, and we love each other now. Our relationship spans 20 years. She’s my family. I got married on Annie’s farm, although I’m divorced now. She has a big heart, and she’s an intense woman. She’s also a goofy, crazy kid. What do you and Steven Meisel like to do when you’re not working? He’s one of my closest friends. He sees the world in the same twisted, sick way I do. And he makes me laugh. We love to go to plays and hang out. We like to

Led for the past 16 years by CEO Monica Forman whose long track record of success is second only to her epic Amagansett dinners (yes, she grows her own organic veggies too!), this brand begins 2012 in full renaissance mode. From the Botticelli reds to the Giotto blues, as vivid as crushed gem stones, its fine cashmere has never looked better. And a New York store will finally bring Magaschoni home for all of us who had to trek to the Hamptons for our fix! BY ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV PHOTOGRAPHY BY GIORGIO NIRO

THE

celeb FACTOR!

“A highlight was when Oprah said we were her ‘greatest thing’ in 2010. It validated the brand, and it was organic, because Oprah is a real customer. She actually lives in our clothes and wanted to tell the world why Magaschoni is one of her favorites.”

Why is Magaschoni having a moment right now? We weathered a rough economy over the last few years, and we’ve built up trust with our consumer. i’ve spent a lot of time really finding who that customer is. retailers are very enchanted with our colors—we’re doing around 80 this year alone! We’ve partnered with some of the best stores in the country to wardrobe people, instead of just selling our clothing. How do you “wardrobe” the masses? through in-store shops, pop-up shops, and trunk shows. We’ve reintroduced things that a buyer or store owner didn’t think they could sell before. i sold 10 coats in two hours during one trunk show in Dallas—when it was 110 degrees outside! What’s next for Magaschoni? a lot of evolution! this year, magaschoni will open a flagship store in nyc. the city’s international appeal can’t be beat. We want to show the entire collection and have a home for all our customers to shop. also, we recently hired sisi Li as our new creative design director, and we’ll be collaborating with a charity to inspire young artists. Ever considered doing a show? the shows are the pulse of the worldwide industry, but i’d rather do smaller presentations, or maybe videos—something newer and fresher. Where are your stores currently located? east hampton, southampton, and palm Beach... personally, i’ve been out in amagansett for over 25 years. i’d see my customers out there, and they didn’t have anywhere to shop, so we opened one store and then another. How did you end up as Magaschoni’s president? i arrived at the brand over 16 years ago, when labels that aren’t relevant today dominated the selling floor—and there was nothing that i wanted to wear. the contemporary market was juniors-oriented in terms of fit. so if you didn’t want to, or couldn’t, spend the money on designer clothes, what were you going to wear? i saw a need in the market for truly dressing a woman for her lifestyle. Why did Magaschoni hone in on cashmere? the market was all about merino at the time, but i wanted to do cashmere. all the cashmere out there was very matronly—baby pink and baby blue, done in very chunky, oversized silhouettes, at price points of $700 to $1,200. they were significant, warm pieces—they weren’t underpinnings. nor were they as modern and fun as i knew cashmere could be. What did you have in mind for the plush knit? i had this vision of audrey hepburn in little cashmere tops in lots of colors, all made from great yarn at a great price. i believed in the color multiplying approach—at my previous jobs, i’d seen how people would buy one top, love it, and then get it in additional colors. as an industry, we always want to move on to the new and the next, and to entertain our customer with the latest. But the reality is, a woman is often very happy with what she already has in her closet.

How do you come up with new shades? you’d think it would be difficult, but it’s really not! there was a fight at the office once about reds. i came home and my husband said, ‘What’s the matter? you’re crying about shades of red?’ i got very emotional about whether to do a bluish-red or a yellowish-red or an orange-red. We ended up going with all three! Which hues are you surprised to see fly off the shelves? i’ve seen a buyer go big on a certain color, and my salespeople then rally around that shade—but it doesn’t end up selling well. i think you need to place it, and it will sell. Let the consumer decide. there are things in our collection that i never dreamed i’d wear. Like the orange cardigan in these photos, as a matter of fact! What’s the cashmere-crafting process like? the first thing everyone thinks of with cashmere is softness, but soft can mean many different things. there are levels of hairiness and hand feel. some cashmeres feel too oily or too dry. others have been washed too much. these are natural fibers, and every hair reacts uniquely to dye. Washing, spinning, dying...there are so many variables! What’s your go-to piece? my whisper shawl wrap in black. it’s seven feet of cashmere, and i get cold and hot all the time. i don’t feel dressed without it! Why are accessories a cornerstone of the business? even on the red carpet—you don’t know what the weather is going to be, but you know a star will be wearing something sexy and inevitably will get cold at some point. hats, scarves, and gloves are the items that people always seem to lose, which works in our favor! What’s the secret to Magaschoni’s success? Women just have this affinity for cashmere— it’s soft, comfortable, and it becomes your best friend. it’s like a cashmere hug when you’re wearing it. it’s a luxury yarn, so women feel special wearing cashmere. Women who can buy anything, anywhere, at any price, will tell us their go-to is magaschoni. We look at how our customer lives, her needs, and where she’s going next. We’re also able to dress three generations of women in the same brand. all the time, mothers will tell me that their daughters took their magaschoni pieces, so they have to buy another sweater for themselves!

10 Things we don’t know about Monica! 1. “i’m an organic farmer.” 2. “i’m always dancing—i tend to ‘dance walk,’ whether on the street or in the showroom.” 3. “i’m quite the comedian.” 4. “i’m an advocate for children.” 5. “i’m a scorpio.”

6. “i’m left-handed.” 7. “i’m an avid recycler.” 8. “i’m a great home chef.” 9. “i was the denim queen in the 1970s while working at Jag Jeans...” 10. “…but i don’t allow denim in the magaschoni showroom today!”

CIRCA NOW

He’s a New York entrepreneur with a green dream to revolutionize the fine jewelry business. She’s a Detroit native that made it big on the runways of Chanel and Alaia. Together, power couple Chris Del Gatto and Veronica Webb are turning the accessory world upside-down with a global buying house called CIRCA. Let the bidding begin! BY MARIA DENARDO PHOTOGRAPHY BY GIORGIO NIRO

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

For jewelry neophytes: what is CIRCA, exactly? CDG: It’s the only luxury brand on the buying side of the jewelry industry. Since 2001, we’ve provided a liquid marketplace for the general public when they want to sell their jewelry— anything from an inexpensive gold chain to a seven-figure diamond. Right from when I started as a jeweler at 17, I saw a huge need that hadn’t been addressed. What are your buying guidelines? CDG: We have no value guidelines, except that the jewelry needs to be real. We rarely buy costume. Who’s your typical client? CDG: A woman 35 and up who’s not selling because she needs the money. Ten to 15 percent are men. VW: We buy a lot of watches! Veronica, how did you end up at Circa? VW: I joined the company as fashion director a little over a year ago. I had never worked in an office before, so I didn’t know protocol. There was a learning curve, but everyone was so generous! What was the last runway show you walked in? VW: I don’t remember! I wore Zac Posen, and my exit was with Naomi Campbell and Beyoncé. I think it was for Flood Relief? But some of my favorite moments in fashion have been in the studio working with Azzedine Alaia or Karl Lagerfeld. We used to spend an entire weekend accessorizing the Chanel collection with Claudia [Schiffer] or Linda [Evangelista]. Chanel would get a hotel room for the three of us at the Ritz, and we’d be in there for 72 hours with more Chanel baubles, bangles, purses and hats than you can

“When I bought the CIRCA Cushion, I was dressed in a tux, bidding at the bar of the Four Seasons against a Saudi sheikh in his robes. It was like a James Bond movie!” imagine. It was a crazy fantasy. Any more plans for modeling? VW: I’m really happy here. This is the best chapter of my life and career. Everything I know how to do and want to do happens under this roof. Plus, I get to work alongside Chris. How did you two meet? CDG: We met through mutual friends almost six years ago. I only knew that she was a model, but that’s it. Our first date was at SD26. How do you work together? CDG: Really well. You’re talking to two people that couldn’t stand having someone else around them, certainly not in their own personal space at work. If someone called me more than twice a day? Forget it! VW: My happiest moment used to be when the plane door would shut. But once we met, everything changed for the better. What piece of jewelry do you wish you still had in the CIRCA archive? CDG: I bought a necklace from a royal family in Europe that Veronica wore to a special event. It belonged to Marie Antoinette.

What’s the craziest item you’ve bought? CDG: A huge medallion covered in pave diamonds from a very wealthy Dallas woman, and a toy Cadillac covered in gems that was bigger than a matchbox car. The guy came in wearing it around his neck! And the most expensive acquisition? CDG: I purchased a very important cushion-cut diamond that was close to 60 carats. We renamed it the CIRCA Cushion. When I came home one day, my seven-year-old daughter Alessandra was holding it in her hand. I told her not to say yes to anyone unless they gave her a diamond that big! Good luck, boys. Where are the chicest places you’ve made deals? CDG: I bought a tiara that was owned by Napoleon’s sister in an underground vault beneath Geneva. When I bought the CIRCA Cushion, I was dressed in a tux, bidding at the bar of the Four Seasons against a Saudi sheikh in his robes. It was like a James Bond movie! How has the diamond district changed? CDG: New York is still very strong from a diamond polishing and jewelry manufacturing standpoint, but the retail area has changed dramatically. It used to be a place where the upscale from the tri-state area would drive in on the weekends to shop. You’d see town cars and limos lining 47th Street. It was an industry of safety and trust. Everything was out in the open and still based on a handshake—even a $1 million deal. When I was an 18-year-old diamond cutter, I was doing $500,000 deals out of my pockets in the street! Today, many of those jewelers have moved upstairs. Year after year the company has grown 35-40 percent. Were you affected by the recession at all? CDG: In late 2008 and early 2009, our clients stopped coming in. Remember, these aren’t people who needed the money. They were selling to buy something new. Luckily, we have the other part of our business as a major buyer to watch and jewelry brands who come to us with their overstock. That business really took off during the recession. Why did you launch the CIRCA Lounge during MBFW? CDG: We buy more jewelry from the public than anyone else in the world, so we have a unique perspective on what makes jewelry collectable. We wanted to give jewelry designers a platform. How did the CFDA get involved? CDG: Steven Kolb has been a friend of ours for a long time, so they recommend designers for the Lounge. What’s the criteria for the brands you choose? CDG: Creative design, craftsmanship, and sustainability. What’s your dream dinner? CDG: Anywhere alone! VW: We have the most fun when the whole family goes out. We make every restaurant kid-friendly. We go out about four days a week, but we try to eat one meal at home with the kids every day.

TiTans of Industrie A cushy London-based PR and marketing firm churning out a quarterly yearbook for, and about, style’s most intriguing figures? Meet Erik Torstensson and Jens Grede, the co-editors behind Saturday Group’s “love project.” One thing’s for sure: church and state have never been so closely interwined! BY ALEXANDRA ILYASHOV

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

hat’s the deal with a pr agency doing an editorial product? jens grede: Where are the lines drawn today, anyway? You have editors working for commercial brands, and marketing people like us and Fabien Baron working editorially. Industrie is not just aware of the crossover projects between commercial and editorial work—it embraces it. We wanted a neutral space for real stories. People should view us with the utmost integrity. erik torstensson: Saturday Group is a fashion marketing group—it’s much more than a PR agency. Our day-to-day business involves building digital and e-commerce platforms for our clients, and populating everything with branded content. Doing trade media made sense. Erik and I knew a lot of people, obviously, so we didn’t go into this opportunity cold. We knew our competitors as well as our collaborators. We wouldn’t do a consumer publication with fashion credits—that would’ve taken it too far. do you have any other editorial experience? jg: Before Industrie, we founded and were editors of a men’s magazine, Man About Town. Then we realized there were plenty of titles around, and lots of people who did what we were trying to do better than us. We thought, ‘Can we do this better? Probably not!’ We wanted to tell a slower, more niche story. What’s your policy on covering designers on the saturday group roster in Industrie’s pages? et: We’re not in the publishing business—Industrie is a love project, and we’re fortunate to be able to do it because we have day jobs. But we keep things very separate. Saturday Group has 140 clients within the fashion industry, so it’s impossible to not include some of those people in our magazine. When we’re working on the magazine, we step out of our roles as consultants and feature who we think is relevant and good. And we never have any pressure from our clients to be part of Industrie. interesting. How do you juggle the two? et: It’s a lot! I remember speaking to Fabien Baron about this long ago. He said it’s all about training yourself. Industrie is very independent and not democratic, so Jens and I can make decisions quickly because we don’t answer to anyone. A lot of ideas come to us on airplane rides. Sometimes that’s how an entire issue comes together! What’s the point of publishing Industrie? jg: It’s a glorified high school yearbook for the fashion industry. et: As the Internet was booming, we wanted to create something really slow. jg: I don’t think Industrie could have existed 10 years ago. We started the magazine as the fashion industry was opening up. It felt very closed before. What changed? et: People behind the scenes have become stars in their own right. That’s mainly happened through the Internet. jg: The success of The September Issue is a good symptom of that effect. How would you describe the mag’s aesthetic? et: We want readers to pick up an issue in two years’ time and not feel like it’s dated. The paper stock was selected because we only come out twice a year, so we needed the magazine to feel more substantial than a monthly. jg: It’s very straightforward. The look is about having as little design as possible—always classic and timeless, never too trendy. We’re basically designing it like a book. We created our own typeface uniquely for Industrie, so we have ownership of the font. The magazine is in a slightly bigger format than most titles because we don’t want the magazine to fit in a scanner.

Why not? jg: So the pages can remain as print! We wanted to stand out by being harder to find online. seems pretty earnest. jg: The voice is a bit tongue-in-cheek, and very direct. We want the tone to be really, really frank and friendly. The interviews should feel like they’re between two people who actually like, and are genuinely interested in, each other—which they are! We don’t want it to come across as press release journalism. We take care to not do stories you’ve read somewhere else. If there’s something that comes out of the PR world because it’s ‘important,’ we don’t write about it. such as? et: Carine Roitfeld’s book. jg: No, I don’t want to name names! A traditional magazine has to do certain things that we’re lucky enough to not have to do—they have to do certain things just to exist and to meet their targets. We have that luxury. It doesn’t make us better. It just makes us different. Comparing ourselves to consumer-facing fashion media would only come across as arrogant. Who’s your competition? et: We’re not really competing with anyone, which is a big deal. We’re actually supporting this industry with Industrie—they help us, if we help them. if you don’t have competitors, who are your peers? et: A lot of magazines out there have been doing what Industrie does for a long time, alongside other elements. There’s nothing completely new in that— just look at, say, Purple. But we are only doing that. Plus, we’ll cover someone that Vogue covers, too—but they won’t be able to give 12 pages to someone who’s not a superstar. jg: I’d say Dazed Digital, or Imran Amed’s ‘Business of

Fashion.’ There are fragments of what we do in what they do, and vice versa. are those peers jealous of Industrie? et: I have no idea. You’d have to ask them. But there’s been many more before us—we’re by no means the first. jg: We’re true followers in this space! We’re definitely not early to this concept. Interview is quite like us, but it came way before and is an iconic, independently-owned magazine. If you talk to Fabien Baron, I don’t think he’d be jealous of us! is tyler Brule truly ‘Mr. Zeitgeist,’ as The New York Times crowned him last year? et: I don’t think we want to talk about Tyler. jg: I think Tyler does a great job with Monocle. I read it, I enjoy it, and he has a very specific tone of voice that is appreciated by a very important audience. Why did you enter the publishing world, anyway? et: It’s our hobby! There’s nothing serious about Industrie. If we stop loving it eventually, we won’t make it—there are other things besides the magazine that matter more. jg: We have to be careful not to take this whole thing too seriously. Erik and I thought this was a fun idea, and we’re lucky enough to be able to have a go of it. It actually worked out, we got kind of popular, and we’re still having fun! If we don’t have fun making Industrie in, say, a year’s time, we won’t do it anymore. It’s corny, but we just love it. These are our contemporaries and the business we work in. When Man About Town wasn’t fun anymore, we stopped being the editors, though the magazine is still around. do you miss Man About Town? et: We did stories at Man About Town about men we were simply fascinated by, beyond fashion, and we can’t do that anymore. jg: The editor in me misses the ability to cover anything that excites me. There’s lots more than just the fashion industry that does that. Erik and I would love to do what we did for Man About Town and apply it to a much broader consumer audience. We’d love to do that, but we’ve never been offered the opportunity. Yet. What’s been the biggest breakthrough moment since launching the mag? jg: When Marc Jacobs agreed to be featured in the magazine wearing his own clothes, styled by Katie Grand and shot by Patrick Demarchelier. When Erik and I popped by that shoot, it dawned on me that we must be doing something right because those three people were there, together, doing something for us. Realizing people wanted to be a part of Industrie was the best acknowledgement of all—working with people you admire is the best feeling in the world. How did you get Miranda kerr to tHe stats!50,000 pose naked? Worldwide circulation: et: That shoot didn’t involve any (newsstand only) clothes because it wasn’t about nual bian y: uenc Freq fashion.

True or false: You began your career grooming animals. I wish I knew how to do a poodle haircut! No, that’s just a rumor. My mother worked as a veterinary assistant, and the famous Carita sisters’ poodles were her clients. She asked them one day if I could apprentice at the Carita Paris salon. What was the scene at Carita in the mid-sixties? Most of the slightly intellectual actresses would go there often because at that time people didn’t wash their hair themselves. Catherine Deneuve and her sister came in every two or three days. They all had the same look: a Burberry raincoat and an Hermès bag. Did you always want to be a hair stylist? My father had a close friend who was a really good barber, but I don’t know if that influenced me or not. In the beginning, while working at the salon, I took pictures for a little while for magazines. That’s normal for makeup artists and hair stylists, but I never made any money. Instead, I was spending money. I never went to college to pursue anything else! Do you wish you went to college? Yeah, I think so. I’m reading a Philip Roth book now about colleges in the fifties. The whole concept sounds interesting, like sharing a room with someone you don’t know. But fraternities scare me! If you had to do it over, what school would you have gone to? Maybe Harvard. I worked with Natalie Portman, and she went there. Plus, I watched The Social Network! What would be your major? Not science. Probably something like liberal arts because you can always bullshit your way through it. How did you end up in America in the seventies? Well, I had apprenticed with Jean Louis David in France, but after five or six years, he decided to use our salaries to buy advertising pages. Freelance didn’t exist in France then, so America was the place to be. When I arrived in New York, I stayed with people I knew from France, including Patrick Demarchelier. We didn’t communicate very much in the beginning, but he was very relaxed. We became friends much later. Now I like to go sailing with him. Patrick is a very good sailor—he’s very safe. What was the industry like at that time? We didn’t have to produce so many pictures, and there were fewer people involved on the set. Everyone had more time, and nobody was really driven by money. It was about creating something you really believed in. Modeling was different, too. Models had to gradually show that they were worthy of Vogue by working at other publications such as Mademoiselle or Glamour. Now, a model can book French Vogue as her first shoot. Back then, we never worked with references. Now, it’s always about referencing the seventies, eighties, and nineties. Who do you collaborate with most these days? I’ve been working with the same people for a long time—people that have a calm way of getting their

result. Others in the industry can be harsher and want things right away. Such as? Annie Leibovitz. There are always photographers who question themselves all the time. ‘Was it better five minutes ago?’ That’s a struggle. When did you meet Anna Wintour? In Europe, when she was much younger. Now, you would be intimidated or more reserved to meet her

but at that time it was very casual. You were close with Newton... Helmut was a big supporter of mine. He was a very generous person with his feelings and his work. We used to photograph in his Paris studio, and if his wife was not cooking lunch for us, we went to a small café on the corner. We’d sit there for two or three hours ordering a great plat du jour or a good poulet. It was typical French cuisine, and we felt very sleepy afterward. How do you and Bruce Weber like to unwind? We like to go to basketball games together in Miami. Bruce knows Pat Riley, the owner and president of the Miami Heat, and his wife. We get very good tickets and then go to the VIP area. It’s separate, so there’s no one throwing beer or anything. Bruce is louder than I am! Sometimes Patrick comes, too. What’s Demarchelier like at a basketball game? One time we were sitting courtside, and Boris Becker was one or two seats down from us. Patrick was waving and saying hello. I asked, ‘Do you know him?’ Patrick said, ‘No, but everyone who sits here

is supposed to know each other.’ I never played basketball myself. It’s kind of violent. My fingers are fragile. Do you have a favorite team? I was most interested when the Bulls were winning everything. I don’t own a jersey, though. Speaking of style—where did you meet your beloved Grace Coddington? On a fashion shoot for British Vogue. I couldn’t speak English well at the time and she had a boyfriend, a photographer named Duke. We were all friends. Who asked who out on a date? It was pretty mutual, but it took years! Did you follow her as a model? Not really. I don’t like the pictures of her when she was modeling. They’re too stylish and too dollish—there’s no sexuality in the photographs—but that was the fashion in England. What was the first thing that attracted you? Her style. It’s very feminine and fashionable without being too obvious. Does she help you with your look? Possibly, but not obviously. If she doesn’t like the way I dress, she will tell me. I wear cargo pants in the summer, and she doesn’t like those. I don’t know why. They’re cool. How do you work together? I’m sure Grace disagrees with me, but I can read her really well. She’s not one of those people who talks in circles— she only says a few words, but you know exactly what she means. How many cats do you have together? Two—Pumpkin and Bart. Pumpkin looks like a Pumpkin, but I don’t know why the other is Bart. Where do they sleep? Indoors. At our house in the Hamptons, they go outside during the day but they have to come home. Their curfew is 6:30 at the latest. Do you cut your own hair? I go to a barbershop on Horatio Street. A super stylish guy named Michael does it for $42. You have 983 friends on Facebook. Is that really you? It is! I’m on very seldom because it takes too much time. Is Grace on Facebook? No, but I think she may have a fan page. She doesn’t know how to open a computer. What did you think about the way Grace was portrayed in The September Issue? I thought it was very positive. That’s who she is. I say to the people she works with, ‘Man, she’s really tough.’ They don’t say yes or no! Has the documentary changed your life? After that came out, Grace became a star. Sometimes we go out late at night, and we usually take the subway. There are always people coming up to her, asking for photos. People don’t know who I am. Why have you kept such a low-key profile with such a high-profile career? I’m not a loud character. G e T T Y I m AG e S ( 1 ) ; C o u r T e S Y D I D I e r m A l I G e (4)
