Fashion Is Fun

Who’d You Want to Be For One Day in 2008?

simon doonan touches his face.jpgIt’s that time again - In this edition, we ask, who would you have wanted to be (in fashion!) for just one day in 2008?

Britt:

Posh: Because in twenty-four hours, I could know what it’s like to wear Roland Mouret and 6” Louboutins on a play date, get a rave review from Style.com, call Marc Jacobs and sleep with David Beckham.

Arlenis: Preferably the day she signed her Lancome contract so that I could grasp the hugeness of going from relative, or total, obscurity to almost super status in like three months.

Carine Roitfeld: Because I would stand in her closet for twelve hours, wander Paris wearing Alaia for the three, style a Demarchelier shoot for five, and hang out with Nicolas Ghesquiere for the last four.

Natalie:

Katie Grand: Because then I could know everything happening with LOVE, which would make me infinitely satisfied.

Cathy Horyn: The power

Kate: Because why the hell not?

Brett (for fun!):

Olivier Theyskens: On the day of Lauren Santo Domingo’s wedding, to touch the most amazing wedding dress ever and think his thoughts for a little while.

Don Draper: To look that cool, be married to January Jones, cheat, run an ad agency, and drink and smoke all day.

Simon Doonan: Hello, he designs windows and has opinions for a living. That’s my ideal situation.

And you?

Marc Jacobs: Because (1) I've always wanted to be a gay man; (2) i would want to really know what in the world he is thinking when he is designing his collection. (3) Most importantly, I want to know what one does at the gym for 2.5 hours everyday.

Anna Wintour: my personal hero.

Daphne Guinness at a couture fitting. I'll never ever ever be able to afford it and it would be fun to experience a fitting.

Dr. Lisa Airan: To walk into her closet and wear Rodarte to work. I would love love love love a tour of that lady's closet. And also it would be fun to see who is getting Botox.

Olivier Theyskens.

So I could be honest with Sarah Jessica Parker and say, "yes this dress has already been worn by that skank Lindsay Lohan. Personally I think the boys over at Dolce & Gabbana have a much better dress for you. That green hand-painted tulle gown, was made for you"

1) I third Blair Waldorf - she has it all!,

2) Carine Roitfeld - so effing sexy it makes no sense,

3) Genevieve Jones - she went from 0 to 60 on the social radar in NO time at all,

4) Jesus - why not.

A gorgeous model, I can't think of exactly who at the moment.
Gemma Ward, maybe? Beautiful face, successful acting and modeling career, and acting nomination? I think yes.

Blair Waldorf...Chuck Bass is reason enough but to sport headbands without looking like a child.

Britt...because I too aspire to write for Fashionista and I think everything I've ever read by her is intresting and fun! I even have her quoted on my facebook (..."the kind of woman who wears Bottega") and the thought of going to fashion week and living in NYC thrills me!
