Not many designers have navigated the tempestuous new world of fashion week like the former pop star New York fashion week is a tempestuous place to be: it is at the mercy of tyrannical celebrity egos, as evidenced by Brooklyns Instagram video of the above-mentioned mint green dress had been watched 250,000 times within an hour of the show and by a rather old-fashioned work ethic and sense of propriety.
