Carolina Herrera

what i don't know it's always it always happens so then i left and then you had your show yeah anything happened i still don't even know oh yeah if you went to an after party like i don't this is me i'm hearing about vix last night well first time with you guys

i stayed because i had a carolina herrera show on monday so that if not i would have left on sunday so i remember the show was amazing but then after the show they had an after party at this place where basically carolina herrera which is a venezuelan designer she used to have lunch at this restaurant with like andy warhol and all these iconic people, you know, those black and white images at dinner.

They used to go to this one restaurant and basically they recreated it for the after party.

Oh, wow.

It was in Brooklyn.

And you know me.

I was like, and I'm wearing like my Carolina Herrera outfit show, which is like this corset with trousers.

It wasn't giving like a concert.

Yeah, I don't like this outfit.

This is Carolina Herrera.

The

opposite of the piano.

So for the first episode of season 4, I thought I would start with a few of the shows that caught my eye in New York, like always.

Here, from a giant insect world at Tom Brown to a garden roaring inside the Gilder Center for Kulgaya, a tiny castle for Sanji Yang, or a very New Year celebration for Carolina Herrera.

Because if you have been listening to me for a while, you already know what I'm looking for.

I'm not here to tell you which collection you should buy.

The set perfectly captures the philosophy beyond the season.

It is not about leaving reality beyond, it's about making reality a little more magical.

Next show, it's also a birthday show, and we're going to talk about the Carolina Herrera show.

45 years after Carolina Herrera presented her first collection in New York, Wes Gordon brought the house back to the city where it all began.

Uh, and she got married recently.

I think she wore, mm, Carolina Herrera, I think, if memory serves me correctly, in her-

Great

...

Are there any big parties? I know Wes has a big anniversary show, right?

Wes Gordon is having an anniversary show for Carolina Herrera.

Kate is having ...

You know, they always have the sort of Saturday night big time slot moment.

Absolutely.

Just sold a Carolina Herrera dress.

I can never pronounce her last name.

This beautiful mother of the groom dress.

But now through the algorithm that we now live in, we have such a curated view of what is fashionable, what's worth buying, so the control that she had, the power she had, was so much bigger than we could imagine now.

She says, "Just because you like to put on a beautiful Carolina Herrera dress or a pair of J Brand blue jeans instead of something basic from Kmart, it doesn't mean that you're a dumb person." That's kind of elitist, actually.

Mm-hmm.

I know, but as we've discussed on my podcast when you talked about y- your brilliant book about her, I don't know if she could ever turn the volume down on that, right?

And I had no idea how well you'd be able to do that.

But you were able to sit with the president of Carolina Herrera for an hour and just chitchat.

And I just was very impressed by your ability to do that.

And I think the thing that people really don't understand about market especially is like that's 10 times a day.
