“Diane’s clothes are very comfortable for me, on and off the air. She’s a personal friend, and a wonderful interview!”—BARBARA

Even oscar graces the front row!

WALTERS

“This is my 15th DvF show, and each is different. The clothes! The vibe! The energy!”

Diane, our Diane. The inimitable DvF coaxed her usual crowd to the Tents for a lean, angular take on brights. Kudos to her newish creative director, Yvan Mispelaere. ☛ To celebrate, the crew (Rachel Zoe, Olivier Zahm, and yes, Fran) enjoyed a cozy dinner at Indochine. Just like the old days!

SIRIUSLY!?

WItH HamISH BoWLES

We haven’t seen you at Equinox lately! Have you been slipping? I have. I’ve been so frantic since I got back from Paris, and soon I’m going away for another four weeks. Where have you been traveling? I was in Tangier and Marrakech, and in Paris for the couture shows. When do you actually vacation? August. I try to take the month off, but I usually have projects in Europe around then, so it tends to be a combination of work and vacation. To be honest, I always have my laptop and I’m always on

a deadline. There’s a lot of tearing back from the beach to get some copy written. Do you use Siri? Tell me what Siri is. She’s your iPhone assistant. Of course! I don’t, but I fall about on the floor laughing when I hear friends and colleagues asking Siri for council. Would you ever use Siri? I thought there were a lot of things that I’d never do in my life, so I’ve learned to never say never.

“A Diane Sawyer fashion line? (laughs) Heaven help us! How many kinds of sweatpants are there?”—DIANE SAWYER

—ANDY COHEN

FEELING FRaN-tIC! WItH FRaN LEBoWItz

“Everyone’s still in black, but the shoes always change, and that’s always fascinating. You can always tell which current designer is the hottest by the shoes.” —EDWARD ENNINFUL

“DvF is not just a fashion statement—it’s a story about a woman of glamour and intrigue.” —TINA BROWN

We always see you here! I’ve always tried to get Carolina to get her show right after this ends, but she won’t listen to me. What’s the difference between the two shows? Carolina’s is in the morning. Very poor idea. We’re not farmers! When do you wake up? I leave it to the construction workers of New York to wake me up. They never fail. Barbara Walters just told us she doesn’t even drive. That’s my dream, but I can’t afford it. I drive. I’m an excellent driver. Do you get your own gas? No. Who puts the gas in your tank? Anyone else. I could be with Queen Elizabeth, and I’d make her do it. Otherwise, I try to buy gas in New Jersey where they have a wonderful law that you can’t put gas in your own car. It’s absurd that you have to pump your own tank. The smell is disgusting.

you react to whitney! Lisa Love: I’m actually a Diana Ross girl. It’s terribly sad, but one has to remember that she was battling drugs and that’s what drugs do. They kill you, either when you’re doing them or not long after…that sounds so morose. catherine MaLandrino: It’s very painful for this generation. Linda weLLs: That extraordinary talent! I sat next to her on a plane from Paris to New York about two or three years ago, and she was just so sweet. We talked about Kevyn Aucoin, and our friendship with him. She seemed so fragile and kind. She seemed good on that flight. She had green tea. aLina cho: It was a shock. We were in rolling coverage at CNN until 1 a.m. That speaks volumes about her popularity. People knew about the trials and tribulations of her career, and her personal problems. She was such a beauty. I was mesmerized by her songs. haMish BowLes: She was a phenomenal talent. She totally influenced a whole generation of female vocal

talents. She changed what we expect from a female woman’s voice. At the beginning, she was an extraordinary combination of wholesomeness and soul. It’s a very poignant thing what happened to that talent. I knew about her almost before she broke because my friend did her makeup. I remember him saying that he was working with this girl who is so beautiful, and you can’t believe the voice, and soon enough she blew me out of the water. MarLon GoBeL: It’s the end of an era. She stole the moment. edward enninFuL: I’m devastated. Growing up she was a childhood idol of mine. I spent the whole morning watching all of her old videos. She was so talented. tina Brown: I hate the way that people like Whitney Houston are fragile and preyed upon. Bobby Brown was a disaster for her, and she never really recovered from it, and

that’s what I think is so sad. BarBara waLters: I’ve interviewed her, and this is a terrible tragedy. andy cohen: I never met her. I saw her sing many times through the years. I last saw her at the listening party for her final album that Clive Davis had. I always rooted for her to have a great comeback. It’s sad that it couldn’t happen. Her voice was so pure, golden, and rich. She was as beautiful as her voice. carLos souza: I worked with her many times. I say, God bless your soul. I will always love you. That’s actually my Facebook status today. carLos caMpos: Fu*ckin’ Bobby killed her. That was my reaction. She was such an amazing artist. I’ve seen The Bodyguard a thousand times. Linda FarGo: That Diet Coke commercial! She was so life personified, which almost makes it even sadder because we all know that she just had the most going for her. actress torrey devitto: My sister used to sing “I Will Always Love You” very dramatically while brushing her teeth! oN tHE CovER: DaPHNE GRoENEvELD IN DEREk Lam FaLL 2012, PHotoGRaPH BY FIRStvIEW. tHIS PaGE: DvF: FRazER HaRRISoN/GEttY (8); GEttY (2); PatRICkmCmULLaN.Com (3); BFaNYC.Com; WHItNEY HoUStoN: GEttY (3)

What’s your favorite Beyoncé song? I don’t have just one. She’s like my sister. Do people ask you for tickets to Beyoncé all the time? Of course. Can we have some tickets? We’ll try to work it out.

THE DAILY WONDERS… How’s your driving? Lisa Love: I’m extremely good. As a matter of fact, I was just telling Giles Matthey from True Blood I’d teach him how to drive. He’s British, so he apparently doesn’t know how. I’m not angry any more—now I like to annoy people by slowing them down. Elizabeth Hurley Erin Fetherston: I grew up in California, so I’ve been driving forever—I think I’m pretty good. Though my boyfriend might beg to differ. Ann Dexter-Jones: I’m enthusiastic. I kinda like to hit the gas a little. The Andrews: We don’t drive because it would interfere with our drinking. Carlos Souza: Of course I’m a decent driver! I’m Brazilian! Taylor Jacobson: I’m impeccable. I’ve never gotten a ticket and I’ve had an expired license for two years. Rose McGowan: Fantastic! I have a lawyer on retainer for my speeding tickets, so everything is fine.

KEEPING IT REAL! With Dita Von Teese

What do you think about stylists? I don’t want to judge people for using a stylist, but when people say that I’m just a dumb stripper, I can’t help but think, ‘Wow, you really give accolades to these hair and makeup people and stylists?’ I’m holding my own up there. I don’t have a stylist and I do my own hair and makeup. That counts even though it’s not always appreciated. How’s your driving? Amazing. I collect vintage cars. Can you talk shop? I don’t know how to change the oil, but I can check it!

U2 TALK! With Ali Hewson Great collection! Thanks! I love how Sharon is continuously inspired by Africa yet manages to add in contemporary twists. Africa is in all of us. When was your last “Dirty Day?” We have a lot of those in Dublin. When was the last time you experienced “Instant Karma?” Sometimes there’s too much of that around; sometimes too little.

BRRR! With Rose McGowan

How are you keeping warm? It’s all about the Prada puffers. What skill set do you wish you had? Wrapping presents. I’m the worst. I want to take a class—maybe at a community college. For real. Do you play video games? I did until my dog got jealous and peed on the console and blew it up. I took it as a sign from God. Strangest place you’ve vacationed? On a bizarre island off of Turkey with a bunch of Russian mobsters. How did you escape? I had to charter my way out of there. I get myself in a lot of pickles.

We all like to strut our stuff, and you can’t have low energy! Do you worry what to wear? With young girls looking up to me, I want to wear affordable things. I once wore a $12 dress from Forever 21 in a parade, so girls could see that you don’t have to go crazy. I like setting that example.

Naeem Khan’s opulent, impeccably constructed designs have been gracing the most glamorous socials and starlets for years—and this week, he’s bringing his particular brand of magic to MBFW as the Mercedes-Benz Presents designer.

Naeem Khan Spring 2012 Collection

What’s the story for Fall? The whole idea started with a dot. How do you make a collection from that? Then we started playing around with geometry, while studying different ethnic groups across the world. There was a very different dialogue going on in my head. Then the dots began to do all these different things—so much black and white, of course, but I’m also loving green and purple! How long has this concept been in the works? The dots started in September of last year! How does it feel to be the Mercedes-Benz Presents designer? I was so thrilled. I thought, ‘It’s not going to happen.’ Then when I found out, it was unbelievable. It’s such an honor, and now it just puts more pressure on me to create and get to the next level. And I’m up to the challenge! I’m so excited because my collection is really looking fantastic. It’s the biggest collection I’ve ever done—it’s going to be close to 50 pieces. And it all started from a dot! Well, it’s not all dot. It involves many different techniques. This season, I really want people to know that I do much more than evening. I have glamorous day wear, too— blouses, skirts, everything. Not just black tie! Is it true that you’re a lifelong Mercedes-Benz driver? I am a big car buff—I’ve gone to racing school. When I first made my big money in this business I bought a Mercedes. That was in 1983! It was white with navy blue interior. Right now, I’m actually driving two fabulous Mercedes-Benz. I have the SLS because I’m going to polo school, but I mostly use mostly my G5, which is a very powerful utility car. I keep both of them in Miami—and they’re both silver! I love them. Would you ever want to design a Mercedes-Benz interior? How fun would that be? It would be amazing—if they would let me. Do you have a driving rituals? I like keeping my cars in immaculate condition, so I I can hear the purr of the engine and take comfort in the fact that everything is working. If I’m going for a long drive, I play my iPod with the latest music. That’s actually my primary ritual! What are your plans post-Fashion Week? I’m having a lovers’ dinner for about 20 of my friends. It’s going to be 10 couples! After that, I’m having another party. It will go on until midnight! After that, we go to my place...that goes on until 5 a.m. And then we sleep the next day. Then, unfortunately, I have to fly off to LA. Brad Grey, the head of Paramount Pictures, is throwing an Academy Awards dinner for me!

BETTER THAN GOOD

Archie Panjabi and Matt Czuchry aren’t just brilliant actors currently co-starring in The Good Wife—they’re also hard-core besties. Who better to provide the scoop on fashion’s favorite TV fixation? BY EDDIE ROCHE

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

Photography by Ellen von Unwerth as seen in the latest WATCH! magazine on newsstands now!

What were your first impressions? Archie Panjabi: I thought, What a sweet guy! He offered me a lot of advice since The Good Wife was my first American television job. Matt Czuchry: During the pilot, the entire cast went out for dinner and we sat next to each other. AP: We had a brief conversation, and I think we both knew that we were going to be buddies. MC: It was a nerve-wracking time—it was a new job and a big opportunity. We both felt very calm and comfortable with one another! How are things now? AP: [laughs] We’re joined at the hip! We’re both uprooted—me from England and Matt from LA— and we have similar taste in

How is Ellen different from the other photographers you’ve worked with? AP: You can see it from the pictures, but I felt that she wasn’t just a photographer. It wasn’t like we were trying to pose—it was just very in the moment! What was your best meal there? MC: The night of the shoot, after a really long day, we all had room service at Le Meurice. What did you order? AP: Everything was good! I also

everything, and come up with a good performance! Archie, you won the Best Supporting Actress Emmy in 2010. In your acceptance speech, you said that the award would be great for

“This whole relationship is mysterious—are they going to get together? Are they not going to get together? They’re very intrigued by it. And the truth is, you never really know what’s going to happen...”

music and the arts. MC: Creatively, we’ve been fortunate to have a lot of scenes together. We bounce ideas off of one another and take risks. It’s made the storyline of Cary and Kalinda feel very comfortable, creative, and balanced. AP: Cary and Kalinda’s relationship was unintentional. During episode five, the director said, ‘Why don’t we create this chemistry?’ I’m sure some of our own chemistry was responsible. Do the characters love each other? AP: Love is such a strong word, so I don’t know if that’s appropriate, but they care about each other so much that they end up hurting each other. The audience wants them together, but it would ruin things. What happens when you encounter Good Wife superfans? AP: I’ve always been asked about what’s going on between Kalinda and Cary. And the truth is, we never really know, so that keeps the audience interested! The YouTube montages are very amusing. Have you checked them out? MC: Yes! There’s some good work out there. Those clips show that the fans are extremely passionate. Ellen von Unwerth recently photographed you two in Paris for an editorial in Watch!. How was your trip? MC: It’s fun to relive it now because it was so special. We wrapped season two and the next day we flew to Paris. It was my first time there.

remember the pastries from Angelina. And the burgers...and the croque monsieurs... What have you learned from each other about acting? MC: I’ve learned a lot because I’ve had a lot to learn! Archie has really taught me a lot about complexity and subtext, and how to make them come to life. Making the exposition conversational but also layered and complex is extremely challenging. AP: Particularly when you’re given scripts quite late, which is normal in television. If I get stuck, I always call Matt for great ideas. He makes me think about things in really new ways. I always know where I stand with him. How is Julianna Margulies as a leader of the show? AP: Great. She’s hugely experienced. Matt and I have learned a lot from all of our fellow actors, to be fair— Christine Baranski, Chris Noth, Alan Cumming, everyone! Matt and I see ourselves as the kids. I know people often say this, but we do feel like it’s a family. What’s Alan like? AP: A lot of fun! It’s actually quite difficult sometimes to keep a straight face during dialogue. I have the same problem with Matt sometimes! I can see the twinkles in their eyes. My character is so serious that it’s quite refreshing to laugh a lot. How do you feel when you get the scripts? AP: Excitement! It’s like reading a novel. There’s also a bit of nervousness—we have two days to learn

your career. Did it live up to the hype? AP: It’s been fantastic! A few days before the nominations were announced, Matt took me out for dinner and said, ‘I hope you’re going to nominate yourself! Don’t be stupid.’ And had it not been for that, I would have never done it. MC: That first season, I think she redefined the femme fatale. I was passionate about her performance. She’s broken down boundaries, not only for women, but women of color as well. AP: [laughs] Thank you! I had no expectations about the Emmy, but it was a very prestigious award to receive. Would you be friends with your characters? MC: [pauses, then laughs] We have to be careful to never judge our characters because if you do, you can’t access things you may later need. I will defend mine to the nth degree! AP: I would be friends with my character, but I wouldn’t cross her. I’ve found myself in situations where I ask, ‘What would Kalinda do?’ She’s so good at making decisions while remaining emotionally detached. I’m influenced by her, but in terms of being friends with her… She really works her sexuality. Do you use yours similarly? AP: No. Does any woman? I think I’m naturally quite fun and sometimes that can be misinterpreted as being flirtatious. If you treat people well and look at the bright side of life, you’re going to make somebody’s day. Let’s talk fashion! Have you ever

been to the shows? MC: I went to Milan once for an Armani fashion show, and I hope to go to Joseph Abboud’s this season. Bernardo Rojo is opening his new line, and he’s designed some tuxes for me for the Emmys and the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, so I want to go and support him. We love Bernardo! MC: He’s a great guy, and I think that kind of spirit comes through in his clothes. AP: When designers have that positive spirit, you really do want to wear their clothes. I feel that with Carolina Herrera. They’re so helpful and excited and grateful and thankful! Have you met Mrs. Herrera? AP: I haven’t yet, but I’ll be going to her show if I get time off! Thoughts on the show’s fashion? AP: The costume designers, Dan and Michelle, really reflect the personality of the characters in the costumes. Kalinda is provocative, but also respected. MC: The clothes feel organic to the characters. We’ve bought basically all the Calvin Klein one-button suits we could find...and then we had more custom-made! Which other designers do the characters wear? AP: DvF, Helmut Lang, anything that’s very fitted and structured. There’s a lot of Burberry, but sometimes I’ll wear a few things from Zara or H&M. The boots are Via Spiga. Why is Kalinda always wearing boots? AP: In the pilot, the boots gave her a certain walk. When the series was made, they were looking to sex her up a bit more—so the heels got higher. Do they kill your feet? AP: They’re quite good, actually! The Via Spiga ones have a platform, so they make me stand straighter and give me better balance. I like wearing them. What about the leather jacket? AP: I don’t carry a bag on the shoulder, so I can slip my phone in my boots or my jacket. Do you guys read any fashion magazines? MC: I love Interview, GQ... AP: Vogue. How is your last name pronounced, Matt? MC: It’s ‘zoo-kree’ but my mom says ‘zuh-kree,’ so I don’t think my own family even knows! After many years, a couple of people may get it right. Certainly more than when I first started out 12 years ago! T O P r I g H T: g I O r g I O n I r O ( 2) ; H E A r T f r A M E : S H U T T E r S T O C K

good Designer the

Just because he’s sitting sixth row doesn’t mean he’s not one of the most influential tastemakers in fashion. Meet costume designer extraordinaire Daniel Lawson, who is busy turning The Good Wife into a bona fide fashion moment. BY EDDIE ROCHE What’s your background? I studied costume design and theater at Northwestern. Then I went to graduate school at Rutgers before I moved to New York and got a job on One Life to Live—may it rest in peace. Then I started doing indies and assisting on primetime TV shows. I wanted to see what blockbusters were like so I was the assistant to Albert Wolksky on Revolutionary Road and Across the Universe, which were both nominated for Oscars. I worship Albert! What’s your approach with The Good Wife? Someone else designed the costumes for the pilot, so when I came onboard I relied heavily on cues from the production designer. They wanted to pump up the reality of the wardrobe. I didn’t want our women to look like all the other lawyers on TV. We didn’t set out to make this stunning gorgeous show, we set out to tell a story—but the clothes and production design started to get attention. What designers and stores do you work closely with? We use studio services from Neiman Marcus in Short Hills and Saks. This season, the key designers for Alicia [played by Julianna Marguiles] are Akris, Armani, and L.K. Bennett. Alicia took control of her life, so I started looking at her like a Rosie the Riverter character. She’s in more jewelry, more color. I’m totally digging Basler, Ralph Lauren, MaxMara, and Dior. AWW ALERT! “Dan Lawson is one of the most diligent, talented, and thoughtful costume designers I have ever had the pleasure of working with! His attention to detail on every character regardless of how big or small the part is incredible. I honestly don't think there is anyone I know who puts more thought into their work. We all are very aware of how lucky we are to have him!” —JuLIANNA MARGuLIES FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

Who does Christine Baranski wear? She’s been in Armani, Basler, Dior, Oscar, Etro, Dolce & Gabbana. This season I’ve put her in a lot of Escada. People have a preconceived notion about Escada, but it’s slimmer and sexier. Christine’s look is Madison Avenue business. Do you work directly with the designers? No. I got all jazzed with Ferragamo last year. Then they decided that TV didn’t give them enough, so they cut me off. That was very disappointing because they were a key element in Christine’s character’s wardrobe. Akris is working closely with us this year. If we pick out fabrics, they’ll build silhouettes for us, which is wonderful. I find designers are more eager to work with movies than TV people unless it’s a show like Gossip Girl, where the wardrobe is the show. Our story is the show, the wardrobe supports what’s done. I’d love to do what the designers of Mad Men have done with Brooks Brothers and create a Good Wife line with a company. We have a strong viewpoint on this show. We could put that out there to the masses. I think it would sell. Do you attend the shows? I would love to! Do you sit front row? No. I’ve been front row at the Project Runway finale show, but only because I was buddies with the director. Costume designers normally get regular seats—four rows back, six rows back, whatever—but I would definitely go to more if we were invited! Do you borrow clothes straight from the runway? For TV that becomes a nightmare. We get the script two days before we shoot, and it’s better to have a closet of clothes that have been shopped, fit, and are ready to go so that I’m not bothering the actor. We hear you have a good Helen Mirren story. Yes! She signed a photo in my office

that reads, ‘Dan, thank you for my favorite costume ever.’ She was playing a homeless woman on an episode of Third Watch! When she tried it on, she was silent in front of the mirror. I thought, ‘I can’t even do homeless clothes!’ But she stood there and said, ‘Yeah, yeah, I quite like that,’ in her lovely little English accent. Later, our producer said, ‘Well, I guess you’re the king of homeless!’ It was sweet. Good Wife-ers aside, which other actors do you adore? Ted Danson is one of my favorite people. I always have this fantasy that if I was ever presented with an award, I would pick Ted to give it to me. At a fitting, he said, ‘You know, Dan, you inform an actor. You don’t dictate, you support what we do. You help me know how I should play this role!’ I really enjoyed working with Leo DiCaprio on Revolutionary Road.

Couldn’t have been more about the work if you tried. And Brooke Shields. I worked with her on Lipstick Jungle. Love, love, love! How tough is your schedule? We work at least 12 hours a day, Monday through Friday. I’ve had many 16-, 17-, and 18-hour days, but the whole team puts in crazy hours. My coordinator Chris is here when I get here, and he’s here when I go home. I don’t know how he does it! What’s your budget? It varies. It’s set by somebody in accounting. I’m sure that the accountants have an overall number that they want us to hit, but every script gets its own budget. I sit there and go scene by scene and put in ‘Alicia, new suit, $2,000.’ Tell us a costume design secret! You can wardrobe any show, modern or period, out of Daffy’s.

FrIeNDS WITH BENEFITS From left: Ware, Matthey, Gabier, and Peters

Boss star Hannah Ware and her boyfriend Giles Matthey, just minutes ago cast in True Blood, are among the buzziest actors in Young Hollywood. Same goes for Creatures of the Wind designers Shane Gabier and Chris Peters in the fashion world. Funnily enough, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re friends! The Daily caught up with this fearless foursome at Tipsy Parson to talk Fashion Fund, live/work relationships, and their intriguing Chicago connection. BY EDDIE ROCHE. PHOTOGRAPHY BY GIORGIO NIRO

Where did you all meet? Chris: At the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund party in October. Hannah was our date, and we’ve become friends with her and Giles more quickly than anyone else I can think of in recent years! Have you watched The Fashion Fund docuseries on Hulu? Chris: I can’t watch full episodes, just little pieces. It covers everything from June to November, so you never know what’s going to come up! Hannah: Surely you guys always sound really well-spoken and polite. Shane: There are definitely some moments where I wished they hadn’t been filming. Chris: The whole process was really amazing, not just in terms of the opportunity. We made so many great relationships, at times it felt like summer camp! Hannah: Your Fall show was really quite special. Your clothes are so romantic, and whimsical... Shane: It’s been our favorite collection yet. It’s also the first season we’ve had a casting director and our own producer. Before, we were doing everything ourselves! Chris: We’ve already brainstormed our next season. Shane: We motivate each other—nothing ever comes from only one brain. Hannah: Giles and I do the same thing. We help each other film our auditions out of our apartment in Brooklyn. He’s quite handy with the video camera. Giles: We understand each other emotionally, and share the same understanding of acting, which is really helpful when working with each other on roles. Chris: It’s so hard to find someone with the same perspective. Hannah: When did you start designing? Chris: When we started dating! Hannah: And when did that evolve into Creatures of the Wind? Shane: Well, we came up with the name really early, but our first collection was Fall 2008. Giles: Where’s the name from? Shane: The song “Wild is the Wind.” I knew the Nina Simone version first. Cat Power and David Bowie have covered it too, but it was first recorded in 1957 by Johnny Mathis.

Chris: We liked its transformative quality—each version is so different. Shane: Which is how the clothes should be, too. Hannah: You can use that song as the first dance at your wedding! Chris: Where did you and Giles meet? Hannah: We’re both British, but we met at the Lee Strasberg Institute here in New York, nearly three years ago. We were friends first. Let’s play Two Truths and a Lie! Giles, you’re first. Giles: Okay, two truths and one lie about Hannah….She studied architecture at university. She went to school in Brixton. She a very big gymnast. Hannah: Those are all lies. You don’t know me very well, do you! Shane: My turn? When Chris was really young, he had a bowl haircut and wore glasses. He wanted to be a goat herder. Chris: I didn’t want to herd goats—I wanted to be one. Giles: You know, my name means the herder of small goats! It really does. Hannah, your character on Boss is a bit… unconventional. Hannah: I play a recovering drug addict who recently became a priest. She happens to be the estranged daughter of Kelsey Grammer’s character, who is the mayor of Chicago. That’s how the first season began…but by the end, she’s in jail. It’s a very long story, really. When do you begin shooting your second season? Hannah: March 19. We film in Chicago for five months. The cast and crew are great, and I like the city. I was thrilled to find out that Chris and Shane lived there. Giles, your big break happened—what, last week?

Giles: It’s been two weeks, at least! I’m very, very fortunate and happy to be a part of such a popular show. The pedigree of acting, throughout the entire True Blood cast, is really impressive. The fantasy element is so appealing. I love playing a fairy! How did you research that? Giles: I just use my imagination. It’s like any role, really. Hannah: His type of fairy is telepathic... Giles: And he can shoot light from his hands! Is Fashion Week a break from the grind? Hannah: It’s great—I’ve always been an avid fan of fashion. I religiously study things like Vogue and The Daily. I absolutely love going to the shows. Giles: I saw Rag & Bone, Peter Som, and Tommy Hilfiger—there was a tweedy trouser with purple edging at Tommy that I just loved. Very English. How are you dealing with the paparazzi? Hannah: We’re not famous, so we don’t get too much of it! I do walk red carpets at events like the Globes. Everyone adopts a very strange persona, and nobody looks you in the eye! The actors and actresses are doing these incredible poses, like they’re in character. I’ve never been able to do the red carpet without feeling like an idiot. Giles does a bit better. Giles: Not much! What were the oddest jobs you ever had? Hannah: I modeled maternity wear. They had to make me look much older than I was at the time. They stuffed a fake baby up my dress! Giles: I taught soccer to Madonna’s son, Rocco. Hannah: And before he got this part on True Blood, he was spending a lot of time at the dog run. Giles: I love dogs. A lot of the time, interacting with them is so much more interesting than interacting with humans!

MUSE Do you read the reviews? I don’t! I did that once. It was a bad idea. But they’re posted outside the theater! I keep my head down when I’m walking in. Don’t get me wrong—it makes me happy that people are enjoying the work. In the Times, director Walter Bobbie said, “It’s that moment, you know when it happens, when the next Meryl Streep walks through the door. Nina’s performance started a brush fire.” That’s the Holy Grail! I don’t even know what to say! Thank you. Really, the only one that I read before we closed off-Broadway was John Lahr’s piece from The New Yorker. My mother said, ‘It’s Thanksgiving. Read about why you should be grateful, if you don’t already know.’ I said, ‘Believe me—I know!’ That’s why I can’t read the reviews—they’re overwhelming. Do you feel pressure, or just humility? I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel pressure. But I can’t focus on that, it’s completely paralyzing, and I don’t have time for paralysis. It means a lot to me, and it’s better to be humble than anything else. What’s the scoop on the show? Very simply, it’s about an audition. The playwright/director (played by Hugh Dancy) has been desperately searching for a lead in his show, Venus in Fur, an adaptation of a 19th-century erotic novel. At the end of the day, the seemingly worst woman comes in hours late for her audition. She’s pushy, and somehow, she convinces him to audition her. And it goes from there! What’s your character like? She’s un-describable, she really is! She’s sort of like every woman, in the sense that she touches upon quite a range of emotions in an hour and 45 minutes. How was your first read with Hugh? You either have it or you don’t—meaning chemistry. We finished the first read, and we just smiled at each other. The whole room just kind of got brighter.

La NiNa

Guess who’s a favorite to take home the Tony for Best Actress? Nina Arianda’s turn in David Ives’ Venus In Fur is the performance that the theater-obssessed crowd can’t stop talking about. The play, which co-stars Hugh Dancy, just reopened on Broadway, and the 27-year-old actress required a dress for the occasion! The Daily tagged along to a fitting with Jeffrey Costello, left, and Robert Tagliapietra. BY EDDIE ROCHE. pHOTOGRApHY BY GIORGIO NIRO

How will Broadway change things? Moving to the Lyceum, which has so much history and energy, is a whole other beast. Talk about ghosts in the theater! I thank them for letting me be there. Which actresses do you admire? Certainly Glenn Close and Meryl Streep. I’m very obsessed with Maggie Smith—I’m doing master class watching Downton Abbey! Did you know Anna Wintour was coming to the show? Yes. I had seen her the evening before when she threw a dinner party for Christopher Bailey at her place. I was invited with Hugh. She told me she was coming the next night, which made me even more nervous. Afterwards, she came backstage with Michael Kors, and she kept saying, ‘That was so intense.’ And I was like, ‘I know! You’re in my dressing room!’ DvF came, too. I kind of want to be her. Why are all the fashion people so obsessed? The costumes are stunning. During our first meeting, Anita Yavich, who designed the costumes, talked about my dress as an X-ray into the character’s transformations. Last season, you were nominated for a Tony for Born Yesterday. I was so scared, and then I said, ‘Why not just go for it and enjoy the ride?’ I did, and I had such an amazing time. I hope I think that way more often! What did you wear? Badgley Mischka. I didn’t know that the designers were going to fit me for it, but when I walked in, they were both there. I was so starstruck. Ever been to a show? No. I love New York during Fashion Week, though. It’s like Christmas every time. But this week, I’m going to Michael Kors. He was so lovely! How did you like the Costello Tagliapietra boys? They were very kind to me, and the clothes were stunning. I wish I could have tried everything on and put it in a bundle to take home. Where will you be in 10 years? I would like to keep working! Other than that, I don’t know. Maybe have a baby?

ROBERT AND JEFFREY WEIGH IN! Robert, you’ve really never seen a Broadway show? R: It’s the irony of my life. I grew up in New York, and my family used to go all the time. I came of age in an anti-establishment era and as new wave as possible, and that wasn’t very new wave. Really, nothing? J: Well, we did see Bea Arthur. And I think

I won tickets to see Amadeus about 20 years ago. What’s it like to work with actresses? R: We started our careers doing clothing for celebrities and musicians and private clients. That’s how we learned how to design clothing and create the vocabulary of what we do now. It’s an important schooling!

Glow,

CINDY, Glow!

The eternally-splendid supermodel Cindy Crawford seems to have discovered the fountain of youth. Now with her new skincare line, Meaningful Beauty, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready to share it with the world. By all means! BY EDDIE ROCHE

How did you go from model to beauty mogul? When I was 28, a makeup artist told me about this great doctor in Paris—Dr. Jean-Louis (Sebagh). I went to see him and had one of his vitamin cocktail treatments for the skin. The results were amazing. I was in Europe enough that I got to see him a few times a year. After I got married and had kids and moved to LA, I wondered, why can’t we just bottle this stuff? When my Revlon contract ended, I was ready to do my own thing. At that point I was 35, and I was really passionate about taking care of my skin. So Dr. Sebagh and I talked about doing a line, and we came up with Meaningful Beauty. What’s the concept? It’s a complete anti-aging system today, but it began as a very potent antioxidant. Our products hydrate without feeling greasy, and it all works together really well without requiring a lot of products. What’s your regime? Every day is a little bit different, but for the most part, I use a cleanser in the morning and then maybe a glycolic pad. If I’m going to a shoot, I might use the glowing serum, but I always, always use the day cream with SPF. If I’m wearing makeup, I’ll use the wrinklesmoothing capsules—it’s like a primer with hyaluronic acid, so it helps fill in fine lines and wrinkles with hydration and moisture. My makeup goes on smoother, and I need less of it! At night, I use Crème de Serum, which has the SOD (superoxide dismutase), the antioxidant Hyaluronic acid, and anti-aging peptides all in one product. Do you cringe when you see skin that could use Meaningful Beauty? These days, a lot of women take good care of their skin. As for men? Hello, exfoliation! Men still put skincare in the cosmetics category. It’s not! What’s your beauty philosophy? I don’t want my whole day to revolve around how I look. I mean, I’m a model—I know that sounds kind of funny! Your New Year’s resolution was to practice more yoga. How’s it going? I fell and sprained my wrist and ankle the day before New Year’s Eve! I can’t even do a downward dog, but I’m hoping it will get better. It’s funny—maybe I’m not supposed to be doing more yoga? So what’s your workout regime? My trainer comes to my house—I have a little gym. We have a power plate, which she incorporates into my workouts. I do the treadmill or some form of cardio, and then we do a lot of free weights. It’s the same kind of stuff I was doing in my exercise videos with Radu 20 years ago. Squats, lunges, push-ups, presses, and all of that. Radu! That’s a blast from the past name. Have you seen him lately? Yes, a few years ago, in New York. I just went to say hello. He’s still training! What are your eating habits like? Lately, I have been eating less animal protein. A typical breakfast is Ezekiel cereal with almond milk and maybe blueberries and bananas with green tea. Twenty years ago, I would have been like, ughhh! I actually love my food. For lunch, I usually have some type of salad with quinoa or grilled vegetables. For dinner, maybe fish, or my husband has a good restaurant out here, Café Habana, which makes great steak. So if I’m going to have animal protein, I’ll have it at dinner. It’s also really easy not to eat animal protein for me. And I have to have dark chocolate every day, at least once. What were your eating habits like 20 years ago? They were good! There was a time when we thought pasta was like eating light. Then I went through the Zone, where you didn’t eat any pasta or bread, and you ate more vegetables and fish or vegetables and meat. I’ve never been a burger and pizza girl.

“

Your daughter Kaia just landed a modeling gig with Versace’s new children’s line. How did that happen? Donatella Versace had her PR person call me! Kaia isn’t modeling, per se—she doesn’t have a portfolio or an agent. I think Donatella thought it would be fun because I had worked with Versace so much in the eighties and nineties. She shot with Mert and Marcus, and I thought if she’s ever going to do anything, that’s about as good as it gets. So she did one picture and it ended up going everywhere! I didn’t quite understand how much media play it would get. They were very smart to choose her. Were you on set during the photo shoot? Yes. It was sweet. Once she actually stepped on set, I definitely tried to stay back. I could hear and see everything, but I wanted it to be about her—not me. She takes direction well. I had worked with Mert and Marcus before and I knew they were lovely, and that the on-set time would be fast. Donatella kept saying, ‘Come! Stand here by me and we’ll watch on the monitor!’ But I didn’t want to be a stage mom and make her nervous. She knew I was there looking out for her. She’s done little modeling things with me, but it was always with me, and this was just her. And I really wanted her to have that experience. How would you feel if she decided to be a model? At this point, she’s too young to pursue a career. There aren’t even a handful of jobs for a 10-yearold girl. But if she’s 17 and wants to try it…of course, what can I say? She’s really into singing and acting. She kind of jokingly said—I’m not even sure if it was jokingly—‘I might model first because you don’t have to know how to do anything, but then I want to be a baby nurse.’ Ha! Which designers are you feeling these days? Jason Wu, Alexander Wang…I wear a lot of Cavalli, just because it fits me and his clothes really celebrate women’s bodies. Versace! But what I really live in is Paige jeans and a cute Joie blouse. That’s what my life is about now—cute mom clothes. Ha! Any great memories from MTV’s House of Style? I got to do so many things, from hanging out with Duran Duran at a Sears store to going to the VMAs. It was really fun to have an opportunity to be more than a two-dimensional picture. Our whole thing at House of Style was that we loved fashion, but we also tried to demystify the beauty a little bit. And I think that’s why people loved it! You did so many interviews—which ones made you nervous? I had to interview all these bands at the Freddie Mercury tribute concert. I’m not totally into music, so Def Leppard came over, and I was like, ‘Which one is he?’ If MTV wanted to revive the show, would you do it? It shouldn’t be me—it should be the 23-year-old who’s in the thick of it, doing shows. The access makes it fun! Do any of today’s models remind you of a young Cindy? I find a lot of them very beautiful. Fortunately, they don’t look like me—they have their own identities! Are you friends with your fellow supes? I’m still friends with Christy [Turlington], and I see Claudia [Schiffer] once in a while. When we did the new Duran Duran video, ‘Girl Panic,’ I got to see Helena [Christensen] and Yasmin Le Bon. We’re certainly friendly, but everyone’s living their own life. We’re happy to see each other, but it’s not like we’re besties. Do any of your old covers make you cringe? The one that makes me cringe the most is British Vogue. The first time they put me on the cover, they airbrushed off my mole. And I think Self flipped me, so the mole was on the wrong side. Whenever they mess with the mole, I cringe!

It was really fun to have an opportunity to be more than a two-dimensional picture.”

What are you up to these days? A lot! I made two colognes with a European company, I developed a face cream line for men, and I also have a bodywear line that I sell live on QVC in Europe. It’s everything from underwear to socks—that’s going really well, too! What’s the cologne called? Marcus Schenkenberg. It took a lot of brainstorming. I was going to call it ‘Don’t Go Home Alone’ cologne. Ha! What else? I design a jewelry line with Gellner called You Rock, and I’m also working on a jeans collection. Do you use all of your own products? Absolutely. They’re the best! I won a prize in Paris for the design of the bottles for my face cream. Are you still pursuing acting? Yes! I’m supposed to do a pretty big movie this year, and I have a few other things in the works. In your peak modeling days, you earned $20,000 a show. Do models get paid anything like that today? I still do, actually, during special appearances in Europe, but the collections in Milan and Paris don’t pay like they used to. Where are you working the most? Germany! Most of my products are sold there. It’s pretty much the only country in Europe that has its economy together right now. FA S H I O N W E E K D A I L Y. C O M

When are you going back? I’ll be there at the end of the month. The chocolate company Lambertz is flying me there for dinner and a party. I’m also judging a modeling contest in Austria, but that’s not Germany. I’ll also appear at the naked sleigh ride competition in Braunlage. The girls are apparently topless—a lot of celebrities go to it. I haven’t been before, but it sounds like a lot of fun. Will you get naked? I’ll be in a bathing suit. How does it feel to be the first male supermodel? I feel very blessed and fortunate. With all my products, I’m making more money now than ever before. When I started modeling, I was one in a million! You worked with the supermodels. Were any of them a pain in the...? No, not at all. I worked with all of them—Cindy, Claudia, Linda, everyone. Even Naomi, who gets a bit of a bad rap, has always been super nice. Any romances? Maybe. Who was your favorite designer? Versace. I worked a lot with Gianni back in the day. I was on the cover of one of his books, Men Without Ties, and we went to London for a book signing. We had lunch at Elton John’s house. Do you have pictures framed of yourself in your home? No, that’s not my cup of tea. Those pictures will be remembered for a long time. I don’t need to put them up myself. Do you still feel handsome? I feel great. My body is completely the same as it’s always been. The fact that I’ve been going for so long is kind of amazing. Are you married? I’m not. Any kids? No kids. I’d like to have them someday, but it has to be under the right circumstances. Luckily as a man, I don’t have a biological clock ticking. David Letterman had a baby in his sixties. I certainly don’t want to wait that long, but I’d like to make it right. What would you tell your 20-year-old self? Don’t worry too much. I came to the United States when I was 18 with $200 in my pocket. I had studied economics for two years. My parents wanted me to work in a bank, which sounded really boring. I came to find out what to do with my life, but I worried about money and how I was going to pay for food and rent. Things fall into place. pAt r I c k m c m u l l A n . c o m ( 3) ; I n s e t: c o u r t e s Y o f m A r c u s s c H e n k e n b e r g ( 1 ) ; s H u t t e r s t o c k ( 3)
