WATCH: Tom Ford Discusses Yves Saint Laurent, Face Lifts and His Foray into Film with Fern Mallis

Edited by

For her hugely popular “Fashion Icon” lecture series at the 92nd Street Y, Fern Mallis sat down with professional gentleman and modern day renaissance man Tom Ford. As usual, the mercurial Ford did not disappoint — which explains why the event was sold out for four months — tackling his well-documented feud with the late Yves Saint Laurent; his wish to be a plastic surgeon in another life; the most valuable lesson he’s ever learned (“Only hire people you want to have dinner with.”); and how film, as opposed to fashion, satisfies his creative juices. Check out a clip from Ford’s entertaining discussion with Mallis after the jump!

Edited by

An audience of prospective designers and general fashion lovers — including Fern Mallis, designer Tracy Reese and stylist Phillip Bloch – gathered in Harlem’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture for an informative discussion with the CFDA‘s bespectacled CEO Steven Kolb last night, kicking off Harlem’s Fashion Row‘s 2012 conversations series. Kolb sat down with HFR founder and CEO Brandice Henderson to discuss an array of subjects from Kolb’s first meeting with Anna Wintour, to the guidelines required for membership to the CFDA, the future of garment manufacturing in Manhattan and Kolb’s short-lived days as a high school football “star.”

White House Cabinet Gets a President’s Day Fashion Makeover

Edited by

Regardless of whether your political education ends at Michelle Obama‘s wardrobe or you actually know the names and faces of those in our Presidential Cabinet, we at FashionIndie would still like to wish you a Happy President’s Day! After brushing up on our Poly-Sci 101, we realized America has been through a lot.  Our political opinion?  We would be much better suited under a fashion regime, led by the stern Anna Wintour, kept in line by the venerable Diane von Furstenberg, under fiscal guidance by LVMH president Bernard Arnault etc etc… check out our fashionable cabinet after the jump.

The Tents, A History of New York Fashion Week

Edited by

I just sneak previewed the film that has crept its way into the belly of New York’s fashionable whale. It found three glasses of Chandon and a dime-size hors d’oeuvre dinner. It also found the history of New York Fashion Week, which evolved from a goose chase of Manhattan’s shabbier locales to an editor-friendly runway machine inside Tents that house the most fabulous of circus on the planet. The Tents: The NY Fashion Week Documentary gives a proper remembrance to the 18 years in Bryant Park where fashion changed. Through interviews with Donna, Calvin, Betsey, Isaac, Carolina, Zac, Tommy, editors and NYFW creators, we get an über dramatic (“Editors had to take taxis all over town, HORRIBLE!”), yet pretty darn accurate collective fashion saga. Watch the chill-inducing trailer here.
