I always said, oh, I'm on the creative side. Let somebody else worry about that. And I think that's important to always have an understanding and a grip on. The financial implications inside of everything you're working on.”

“Because people started moving out there and getting out there and living out there. But I've had that house since I was at CFDA. I remember a moment when I thought, I can't do this, I'm not married.

“Of 60, 90 minutes, usually an hour and a half. And it's their life story. It is the definitive interview of these people's lives. Look out of there and you learned who they are. How did you become this person? You grew up most of these people grew up with nothing. And had started a business with nothing. And I'm fascinated. How do you build a billion dollar business? Who did you hire? How did you when you made your first sail? Who sewed the labels in? Did you need to hire ten people? How much money did you need to borrow? How do you do this? How did it go to the next step? And how did it go to that? You know, to hear Michael Kors tell his story about being ringing the bell when the stock went public.”

“Old pal, and I think one of the most creative designers in the world. And the next one was Calvin Klein. And when I had Calvin on the stage, I said to him one of my first questions to him was Why are you doing this? You're out of your business. You sold it at that moment. It was like over ten years ago. You have nothing to sell and pitch, no new fragrance, nothing coming out. And he said, I'm doing it because you asked me, and I'm doing it for you, and I'm doing it because the why he talked about how important the why was. And I was like, good answer. And that kicked off this series where people buy tickets. It was like $800 or $900 people in the auditorium. And it's been Calvin and Donna and Tommy Hilfiger and Tom Ford and Mark Jacobs and Andre Leontali and Diane. It just goes on and on and on. It's now in my eighth year.”

And for people who don't know, the 92nd Street Y is truly the preeminent cultural institution in New York.

“I said, you know what? I need a break. And so I took time off. I was happily able to do that. And I experienced what I call, and it's in my book, because I have a book called Fashion Lives from this series, what became the coffee phase of my life, which meant that all of a sudden, you know, I'm trying to just chill and enjoy my house in the country. And I'd get calls. Can I meet you for a cup of coffee? I have this idea I want to talk to you about. I have this new project coming up. Can we go out for a cup of coffee? My friend told me I should talk to you. You're a good one to help me on this new startup. Can we have a cup of coffee? I said, everybody wanted to take me after a cup of coffee. Nobody wanted lunch or dinner. It was just coffee. Coffee's cheaper. I was crazy.

“A real concerted effort to do something that is sustainable and correct. And we're all still learning about that and don't even know what all those words mean. You know, I'm on the board of the FIT Foundation and our gala this year in April is honoring, is focusing on sustainability. It's going to be surrounded by a conference for two days about the issue of sustainability with great people speaking. It's all about the young generation, these kids in school, they care about that. They recycle, they really work things through. And companies have to start having a message that matters. And I think that that's where somehow those messages get through.”

“A big deal. No pant day or something. People are still getting up every day and putting clothing on, and they're still wearing clothes, they still buy things. So the industry is not going too far away. But how people reach out to them, that's a good question. I mean, you have to hire smart and bright. And you have to get into that head of that millennial and some of those young people who are really out there thinking coming up with clever ideas, you have to create experiences, you have to create something that resonates. And that's why I said it's whether it's resonating about the environment and things that matter to people, this generation is finally caring about the environment because it's the planet that they're growing up in. And I think there's more and more attention to that learning about that brands that are making a”

“I mean, models are hired and booked for shows based on how many Instagram followers they have. You know, models and people celebrities used to have to build a career. Now they build their own platform. They do it all by themselves. You know, models tell their story without, you don't have to wait for them to be on 15 Vogue covers to have a career. They reach out and they do their story, and they have millions of followers. You know, in Instagram, there was one of my favorite jokes I saw was on, I think it must have been a New Yorker cartoon of a couple of people, a couple at a table in a restaurant eating. And the chef walks over to them and looks at them and says, Samada, didn't you like the food? And they said, well, yeah, they said, because nobody took a picture.”

“That instagramable spot, you know, and that's how the world is viewed now through Instagram. So fashion week becomes a place where everybody wants to quickly say I'm out, you know, I'm there. I was there. That's the best look. Smart companies understand how to track data and use that information and can say this was the biggest look that came out of that show. This is what we should get behind, you know, and this is something we should maybe, you know, do a bigger production run on. You know, if you could use the information correctly, I think that there's some value in it. But, you know, but otherwise Fashion Week is fashion shows are still the best way to see a designer's vision come to fruition from head to toe. What are they thinking? What's their look? What's their point of view? But I question.”

“And everybody's designing things for that Instagrammable moment. You go to any party now or opening for something, it's no longer just the step and repeat wall where they're taking pictures with the brand's name on there. If finding some unique Visual that conveys something they're doing, and that's the place where everybody expect or want everybody to take their picture, you know, to take their selfie, not a picture. Not even a real picture. Take your own picture in front of that.”

“It's all changing so much. I mean, you sit at a fashion show and I find it very frustrating that hardly anybody's looking at the runway. They're looking at their phone and they're photographing everything. And instead of looking at the real thing happening, they're looking at it in a two-inch by three inch little frame.”
2019-02-07 · Masters in Business · Fern Mallis Discusses the Fashion Industry (Podcast) · IDENTIFIED FROM THE TRANSCRIPT · source
“Well, I think the importance of fashion week in the fashion shows is changing. I think we're in a very... Disruptive moment in fashion, people aren't quite sure if they should be doing shows and spending the large amounts of money for it. But it still is a vehicle that generates Millions of Instagram moments, you know, so it's become a vehicle for social media to really get the message out or the lookout. And that's the good news, bad news in my mind, because I'm still of that generation, like you say, that I wasn't born with an iPhone in my hand. And, you know, and I think eventually.”

“You know, 60 girls work in that. That's not what it's about. And so there's been a demand in the industry and the customers and the media have really gotten fired up and said, come on, let's reflect what's happening in the world. And I think that that's all really good positive changes for the fashion industry. And it'll be interesting to see this fashion week that's coming up how, again, how that plays out. Because the runway becomes a big bulletin board for what's happening.”

And in fashion now, and at the shows, you see more inclusivity and diversity of black models and Asian models and Indian models and people of all the different ethnic cultures. I mean, that's who the customer is. That's who the world is. And designers who, you know, put out that one. One blonde girl with”

“That's a big part of Fashion Week now when you see it and advertising, when you look at all the ads, girls across the spectrum from nice and thin and lovely to big and beautiful and proud of it.

Maybe a 14 Now they are going up to all the plus sizes being included and creating collections Big girls and people who are not model size zero and two four six.
