Amanda Brooks, BarneyNY’s fashion director:

Oh god, OK, my first fashion show when I was 19, I was an intern for Patrick Demarchelier, and—this is really obnoxious–he got me tickets to the Chanel couture show as a photography student. And he thought it would be a nice thing to get me tickets so I could photograph it. So I was in the pit photographing the show with my little Pentax k1000 and I was that was the first fashion show I ever went to. And I was so nervous!
