उस समय वास्तव में कॉन्सर्ट्स में आने वाली हाई-सोसाइटी की महिलाएँ ही सब कुछ थीं। एरिन लॉडर जैसी कूल लड़कियाँ हुआ करती थीं - हर कोई देखना चाहता था कि एरिन ने क्या पहना है। कैरोलिन बेसेट भी उस दौर में छाई हुई थीं। 90 के दशक में केल्विन [क्लेन] का बहुत प्रभाव था।
At the time it really was the social women, the society ladies. There were the cool girls, like Aerin Lauder - everyone loved to see what Aerin was wearing. Carolyn Bessette was very much in that time period. Calvin [Kleine] was very influential in the '90s.

बाहर पपराज़ी खड़े नहीं हुआ करते थे। इतने सारे फोटोग्राफर नहीं होते थे। लोगों को वास्तव में पता ही नहीं था कि फैशन क्या है और टेंट के अंदर क्या चल रहा है।
There weren't paparazzi standing outside. There weren't all these photographers. People really didn't know what fashion was and what was happening in the tents.

मैं काफी हद तक मिनिमलिस्ट थी। उस समय मुझे काले रंग से बहुत प्यार था, जो आज मेरी अलमारी से बिल्कुल अलग है, क्योंकि अब मैं रंगों के बीच जीती हूँ।
I was pretty much a minimalist. I liked a lot of black at the time, which is very different from my wardrobe now, because I live in color.

मुझे तब बहुत अच्छा लगा जब प्राडा स्पोर्ट फैशन में आया, जिसने लंबे समय तक चलने वाले नायलॉन के कपड़े चलन में लाए। आपको प्राडा का बैग चाहिए होता था, प्राडा के जूते चाहिए होते थे, ऐसा नहीं है कि आज नहीं चाहिए, लेकिन प्राडा की चीज़ों का वह क्रेज़ गजब का था। वह वाकई बहुत बड़ी बात थी।
I really loved when Prada Sport came into fashion, which kind of created all the nylon which she had for quite some time. You also wanted a Prada bag, you wanted a Prada shoe, not that you don't today, but that craze for Prada accessories was really big. It was a really big deal.

उस समय मेरा अंदाज़ बिल्कुल अलग था, मुझे मिनिमलिज्म बहुत पसंद था। मैं हेलमुट लैंग और [मार्टिन] मार्जिएला को लेकर काफी दीवानी थी।
I had a very different vibe then, I was very into minimalism. I was kind of obsessed with Helmut Lang and [Martin] Margiela.

90 के दशक की शुरुआत में फैशन की जो परिभाषा हमारे रोज़मर्रा के पहनावे का हिस्सा बन रही थी, जब ये तमाम डिज़ाइनर बड़े-बड़े ब्रांड्स के साथ नए सिरे से शुरुआत कर रहे थे, वह तो उस वक्त बस शुरू ही हो रहा था।
What we considered to be so much part of our everyday fashion vocabulary today, where we see all these designers restarting with these big houses, was just beginning then [in the 90th].

उस दौर में केल्विन क्लेन और डोना करन बड़े अमेरिकी नाम थे, हेलमुट [लैंग] उस दौर के सबसे कूल डिज़ाइनर थे और मार्क जैकोब्स तथा जॉन गैलियानो पुराने फैशन हाउस को दोबारा ज़िंदा करने में लगे थे।
Calvin Klein and Donna Karan were the big American names at that point in time, Helmut [Lung] was the cool kid on the block and you had Marc Jacobs and John Galliano who starting the revival of the old fashion houses.

टॉम फोर्ड ने अभी-अभी गुच्ची के साथ शुरुआत की थी और काफी चर्चा में आ रहे थे - जैसे मैडोना का एमटीवी अवार्ड्स में सिर से पाँव तक वेलवेट का सूट पहनना। मुझे वह कल की ही बात लगती है।
Tom Ford just started at Gucci and was getting great notoriety - like Madonna wearing that head-to-toe velvet suit at the MTV awards. I remember it like it was yesterday.

मुझे लगता है कि तब फैशन आज की तुलना में कहीं ज़्यादा चुनिंदा लोगों तक सीमित था। तब इतनी पार्टियाँ नहीं होती थीं। इतने सामाजिक मेल-मिलाप नहीं होते थे। डिज़ाइनरों के लिए ग्राहकों या संपादकों को लुभाने के लिए बड़े-बड़े इवेंट्स करना ज़रूरी नहीं था - तब सब कुछ सिर्फ शो पर केंद्रित होता था। अगर कोई डिनर या पार्टी होती भी थी, तो लोग शो के बाद बाहर जाते थे। न्यूयॉर्क की नाइटलाइफ़ का मतलब देर रात तक जागना और डांस करना होता था।
I feel like fashion was much more exclusive. There weren't as many parties. There weren't as many social gatherings. It wasn't required that designers have events to lure customers or editors or any of that - it was about a show. If there was a dinner or a party, people would go out after. New York nightlife was about late nights and dancing.

फैशन वीक ब्रायंट पार्क में होता था और कुछ ही शो जैसे मार्क जैकोब्स, या जब अलेक्जेंडर मैक्वीन शहर में आए थे, वे अलग जगहों पर होते थे। हेलमुट [लैंग] का शो भी अलग जगह पर था, लेकिन माहौल बहुत अंतरंग होता था। आज की तरह नहीं जहाँ शो में हज़ारों लोग होते हैं। तब शायद 200 से 250 लोग होते थे और वह वास्तव में फैशन इंडस्ट्री के जानकारों और दिग्गजों के लिए होता था।
Fashion Week was at Bryant Park and there were a few shows like Marc Jacobs, or when Alexander McQueen came to town, that were offsite, Helmut [Lung] was offsite, but it was very intimate. It wasn't the way it is today where you have a thousand people at the show. You may have had 200 to 250 and it was really the trade and you know fashion greats.

मैंने फैशन ऑफिस में एक असिस्टेंट के तौर पर बर्गडर्फ गुडमैन से शुरुआत की थी और रिटेल की दुनिया से मेरा वही पहला परिचय था। डौन मेलो उस समय अध्यक्ष थीं और उन्होंने अभी-अभी गुच्ची छोड़ा था, जहाँ उन्होंने टॉम फोर्ड की खोज की थी।
I went to Bergdorf Goodman as an assistant in the fashion office and that was really my first exposure into the world of retail. Dawn Mello was president at the time and she had just left Gucci where she found Tom Ford.
