how many shows/events are you doing this fashion week?
3 Fashion’s Night Out events, 2 fashion shows, 1 dinner and 2 after parties
is there anything you always find yourself wanting (or at least saying that you will) to do different this season than how you did last season? Every season there are little changes that can be made to tighten the system. Primarily, we strive to challenge the boundaries and formats of the presentations, runway shows or events that we produce. Each season, we innovate to stimulate dialogue and move the brands forward so the means of execution must always service that premise. I love the performance quality of a fashion show and the orchestration that accompanies it which is akin to the strategies of fine art.
three things that comes into your head right before "cue -music"/before 1st model walks out?
Check list of reporters and TV crews that need to get back stage immediately following the show.
Check list of celebs in attendance who still need to be photographed with the designer/designers.
Note reviewers facial reactions as looks come out.
three lifesavers for you during fashion week?
My husband, Timothy Uriah Steele.
My all star staff – go team Maguire Steele!
Organization, double-checking, triple-checking, cross-checking – you get the idea – leave no stone unturned.
three things people probably don't know about you:
1) I have an MFA in Painting from Rhode Island School of Design.
2) Growing up, I went to sailing and racing camp.
3) I have a black standard poodle named Betty Midnight (Everyone knows this because her pictures dominate my facebook wall. At nine months, you can already see her modeling potential.) Tim and I want to get another standard poodle, a red and name him Butchy Cleaver. Betty Midnight and Butchy Cleaver – what a duo.
what's your summer cocktail du jour? Pabst Blue Ribbon, Woodford Reserve, Svedka grape vodka with a splash of grape soda (because it tastes like candy), vodka soda with a splash of grapefruit (because it’s very refreshing).
