Interview: The Glittery World of Richie Rich

Edited by Lester Brathwaite

Though Heatherette is all but ancient history, Richie Rich is still a glam club kid at heart.  Amidst a sea of models – bones and high ponytails from wall to ceiling – I met up with the designer and his design director Angelo Lambrou during a casting call for Richie’s runway show. This will be his second collection for his eponymous label and will be held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on February 10th at 9 pm. Proceeds will go to benefit two causes very close to Richie’s sequined heart: DoSomething.org and Cookies for Kids’ Cancer. We discussed Richie’s fabulous inspirations, his fabulous friends and the first time he met Madonna. Which was, you guessed it, fabulous.

Before They Had Stylists: Kimora Lee

Kimora Lee has been to having fashion ups and downs for quites some time now. From young model, to successful wife and designer, and now downhill to old age.

The Before

The After: She had it all, brains, smarts, killer body, money, confidence, elegance, success, living the life that dreams are made of. But it all took a toll:

Not sure if it’s the divorce, or too much surgery, but her age is becoming evident and her confidence has faded. She has lost grace and elegance, she seems down on life, and with all that she has left, her head needs to be held higher and prouder.
