His grandfather was in the textile business. You never know. I was eight. His mother, a former model, took him shopping at Saks. At 16, he used his earnings from after-school jobs, like working at the local tennis club, to buy himself a Cartier Tank watch. For his fall collection, Kors has returned to the same period for inspiration, in part, he says, because the era reminds him of the current moment. We're living in trying times. Everyone's sad.
Everyone's overwhelmed. Yet people looked more glamorous on the street than ever before. We could have a chopped-liver swan. Kors may see his Long Island childhood through heart-shaped, rose-tinted glasses now, but at the time there was no question he was getting out. Tropez boutique, where he found himself helping Jackie Kennedy pull her boots off and showing Goldie Hawn how to tie the top on a jumpsuit. The store proved to be the better education.
When they offered him a full-time job, he dropped out of school to take it. The role was designing womenswear, but that had always been the plan. But it was the clothes he made for himself that got him noticed. As he had in high school, Kors was spending most of his paycheck on his own outfits.
Given the limitations, he often had to get creative: as when he couldn't find shoulder pads large enough for his liking, so he pinned cotton handkerchiefs into the lining of his jacket, which he paired with jeans and leg warmers. Then he'd strut down Fifth Avenue, hoping that Bill Cunningham would take his picture for his column in the Styles section.
Once, while he was doing so, a familiar face popped out of a Rolls-Royce. It was Diane Keaton, at the height of her Annie Hall fame. Well guys now haters are using Authentic views c o m. You ain't messing with my clique that's you big Sean my dude I beat zelda 2 on the phone. Styles goin in on da Tiger Bone like a G. For my man Kameron D. Stott who was hit by a car in Ima pour out a lil liquor for my lil homie Kam too his life was cut short at barely 17 years old. He liked this song.
This is real music they are not just talking about dumb shit or mumbling, that have actual lyrics and a message. This song is still fire but big Sean's a liar cuz none of the girls he dated had ass ass's ass's asss. Wouldn't mind a "Filthy America" video though, love that song.
I say, as I am sitting on my couch rapping along to every word. Mind Fvck yeah dude, I know. But that's in English. In English, the word ass has more than one meaning. However in Greek, it only has one meaning: the donkey. Of course it's funny, I was literally just pointing something out. This has nothing to do with not understanding cross-language jokes or whatnot. Sheek snapped on this for real Well guys now haters are using Authentic views c o m.
She ticks off potential jumping-off points: rail freight and ocean shipping containers instead of airplanes; fabrics that can be machine-washed in cold water instead of hot or instead of being dry cleaned. These aren't quick and easy fixes and will require more of a commitment, including a financial one, to adopt, but once things start changing, Greer hopes the movement will be sustainable.
The industry's ability to think out of the box is what's needed most, because some solutions aren't yet developed, Greer says. The industry, while competitive, also knows how to come together for a cause, observes Hilfiger, noting its fundraising history for breast cancer and AIDS charities.
The environment is next on the radar, he says. If we can all get together, all of us, I think we have enough influence. Hilfiger says everything is on the table, from reusing water bottles at the office to LED lighting in stores.
A big thing will be rethinking travel, but he's willing to do that, too. If he weren't, his year-old daughter would get on his case like she has about recycling everything at home. Rachel Roy's father insisted on a no-waste food policy all her life, she says, so composting -- or even feeding scraps to her dogs -- has always been the norm. She thinks the way to green fashion is to incorporate good practices into everyday routines. The way I've approached it is very natural, one step at a time.
Or was it the smartest? I was recently back in the States in a suburb of New York that I grew up in and it was honestly a bit of a shock when I saw the way that suburban America chooses to dress. Here, even the janitors wear Versace. Not in the suburbs. The affordable luxury brand, while questioned by the fashion insiders, seems to grasp their audience well — whether their purchasing in-store or at the local discount shop, ie: Marshalls and TJ Maxx.
At the end of the day, having the style of suburbia thrown back in my face in a way that was so blatant reminded me that status symbols to one group can be the exact opposite of those of another. I came back to the States with a refreshed Parisienesque aesthetic that no one seemed to process.
