Well, I think with the onslaught of celebrity and our fascination with celebrity etcetera—high pitch level that fashion which is kind of bit younger sister or second cousin that idea of celebrity, designers are very glamorous. They dress starlets, the red carpet, the handbag businesses gone crazy so the general population has really understood fashion way that it never has in generations before and it reach I think a kind of celebrity. Semi-celebrity level where the designers the models and even winter and devil wears Prada have become large celebrities in their own rights that is elevated. The fashion to a semi-paparazzi event where people can be photograph, famous people go to the shows, famous models are seen in the collections and designers that are world were known and famous are seen going in and out of these shows and these tents.
The seeding is slightly medieval process but yes, everybody like to get the best see that they can and a lot of editors are very unhappy if they are in the second row or the third row, which is basically consider Siberia. So if you are an editor of good standing usually have front row sit at the major collections. The major shows in New York for sure. Well, New York leads at all as if I must say I think that is probably in appropriate place for it to be. New York is a solid place for fashion. It is a consistently good place for fashion. However, it is not the innovator. It is not the real creative Jews that we all seeking that the retailer seek to really get ourselves excited about the stories. We are going to put in our magazine and the clothes are going to be bought and purchase in and ultimately bought in the stores.
Particularly, this season I felt that it was one of the New York’s best seasons. I think it was a very bay season and with that I comes a certain sort banality. There is nothing that glamorous and dramatic about the color beige so I think that is kind of a metaphor for a little bit with the Caesar’s. However, we do have a start and he is a major star and he continues to shock and rock and pushes for that is more taken. So indeed, his both of his collections these time were very, very powerful. He is Mark Jacob collection which I just look at in person and up close to feel the fabrics and the CD accessories and to really see what he done was in past issue of ideas, styles, fabrics, color and it was kind of lower angles and little house in the prairie on crack. I mean it was a crazy apron dress, ruffled skirt but done in Lorex and Lamei.
So again, Mark pushes the battery, he pushes the buttons. He dares to mix fabrics and colors and silhouettes and probably because he just does not care that he is free to do what he wants and he never repeats himself. He has got favorite things that he does. There is always somewhere and so on, influence I would say but clearly done, I like Mark. He likes to push people. He likes to shake it all up. He know he was a famous for his crunch collection in the early 90’s and he continues to really rock our world, that is great and this show was vibrant colorful, clicktic, real mix, keep everybody on their toes. Yet again and he is mark by Mark Jacobs collection, which is his younger line was just delightful and enchanting and if I was 18 to 25 that would serve my demographic and my age group I would be running to his stores and to those boutiques to get those clothes.
He really gets you excited. He really makes you want to buy clothes. He makes you want the handbags, fantastic. Everyone said the, “It bag is over.” Nobody needs groovy bags anymore that are all parse forget it. Mark has just, meaning he all realize that there is under “It bag” and e had about five that were spectacular in his Mark collection. So I think New York is glad to have Mark, I am certainly personally and professionally happy to have him. He makes it exciting. He is in a level with the best designers in Europe, particularly, Paris as well Miuccia Prada in Milan and really keeping fashion exciting and interesting and pushing it forward.

You know why admire on a winter so much because we are unbelievable power and because she does a fantastic job at Vogue. But particularly in this question because she really tries to promote. It has spent a large portion for her time and Vogues time and effort to promote the next generation. It just really hard business to be that competitive in. You know these guys are coming up with 46 collections a year that creative process is a unbelievably challenging. I mean think about an artist that has to come up with the whole of 46 times a year. I mean they just do not. They do the same thing. They moved, they evolved over a time, over a decade, over a five years. These guys are ask to kind of to reinvent the wheel as well as learning their trade and trying to have a libel business. So it is really hard I think for the young generation to come forward to push forward.
Some of the kind of new up in comers that has been around several seasons. I was disappointed to say that they falter a little bit but they are not able to keep going with the kind of expectation that we all put on them. But Ana and the Vogue and the CFTA. The counsel fashion designer of America really are trying to support fashion at that starting level to really give this young designers to support in the financial cash that they need to continue and also sort of offering kind of mentoring program. But no, as far New York is concern that is not been a kind of season of newness but London, which is happening as we speak right now is continues to be real interesting place. Where all those free ideas some kind of crazy eccentric things that they should known for or able to come out and if creative unbelievable challenge. So I think London is really the place where you watch the next best generation preventions.
