Through a pre-show interview with Isaac Mizrahi, we get to better understand the inner workings of the designer: “I try to stay away from girlish things, I really do. I don’t mean girly things. I mean, I don’t like girls to look tweenish. I don’t like a tween. Even though, of course, I love a tween, I have the soul of a Japanese tween, I do.” And his secret to a good night’s sleep before a show? “I worked very late and then I took a Xanax, which is my favorite,” he revealed. “My pre-show ritual is a sleeping pill for sure, or a sort of de-stress pill.” [The Cut]
Designers are breaking the routine 6-month lag of getting their runway collections into stores by putting their clothes up for sale right after showing them. Norma Kamali and Cynthia Rowley did it this season, and Derek Lam will give it a whirl later this year. [WSJ]
