ABOUT
From Rizzoli Books:
Fern Mallis is the award-winning creator of New York Fashion Week and is often called the Godmother of Fashion. She hosts the sold-out conversation series “Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis,” assembling an incredible list of guests at the 92nd Street Y. Mallis goes one-on-one with her guests in front of a live audience to discuss everything from their childhood aspirations, career struggles and triumphs, to dishing on the inner workings of the notoriously high-pressure fashion industry. No topic is off-limits.
The two volumes feature 33 provocative, and inspiring interviews with the boldest and brightest names in the fashion world including Iris Apfel, Victoria Beckham, Kenneth Cole, Bill Cunningham, Oscar de la Renta, Simon Doonan, Arthur Elgort, Tom Ford, Valentino Garavani, Tim Gunn, Bethann Hardison, Stan Herman, Tommy Hilfiger, Marc Jacobs, Betsey Johnson, Norma Kamali, Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Leonard Lauder, Bob Mackie, Polly Mellen, Angela & Rosita Missoni, Isaac Mizrahi, Billy Porter, Zandra Rhodes, Christian Siriano, Andre Leon Talley, John Varvatos, Diane Von Furstenberg, Vera Wang, and Bruce Weber. The book also features when, by popular demand, the tables were turned and Fern Mallis was interviewed by the smart and sassy Bevy Smith. Each fashion icon shares never-before-seen personal photographs, sketches, and memorabilia to bring their story to life. For readers interested in the fashion industry, popular culture, style and design, this book takes a look behind the very public and glamorous lives of famed designers, creatives, photographers, tastemakers, and media personalities alike.
