Fashion Delegates Aren't the Only Ones in Town

Here's the problem with fashion week: the United Nations is convening next week. It's a problem because nobody is going to be able to get anywhere. The minute the U.N. convenes nobody can get anywhere, especially from Chelsea to the tents. It's going to be a nightmare. The clothes better be good, because it's going to be hard getting from place to place. I don't have to get around, though. I just stay in one spot and do my fittings. The girls [models] come to me. Do you know what it's like getting models to come see you during fashion week? It's one thing for smart editors to get from show to show, editors who have been there and done that and know how to get from place to place, but you take a 15-year-old girl who just came to New york from Buenos Aires to be a fashion model and ask her to get from 35th street to 12th street during fashion week and she can't speak the language and the U.N. is in session? Forget it.
