How to Make It in Fashion: June 21, Dream Hotel Downtown, New York
People Are Talking

Eavesdropping in Paris



At Akris, two buyers talked about the Celine show right after.

buyer 1. Are you going to the show?
buyer 2. I’m not. I didn’t buy any of it last season.
buyer 1. I did, but I didn’t reach my $50,000 minimum. I had to swear on my life I’d go over their minimum buy this season so that they’d let me in.

Post-YSL, a gentleman tried to explain the concept of a runway show to his lady-friend.

dude. You know the thing is they actually only sell accessories.
lady. Wow really? So what was all that other stuff?
dude. Well they can’t just put a purse on the runway, so they hire a designer to make the clothes, but no one actually wears them. Except at like, you know, at the Oscars or something.
lady. That is like, so fascinating.
