Lauren ShermanHOST
They probably already have.
Eva ChenGUEST
What are you wearing to the CFDAs to accept your award? To reluctantly accept my award? I am wearing Rachel Scott Proenza Schooler.
Eva ChenGUEST
I love Proenza.
Eva ChenGUEST
I feel like I remember when the brand launched.
Aerosyn-Lex MestrovicGUEST
I've made a living balancing both.
Aerosyn-Lex MestrovicGUEST
And for me, I'm actually inspired to strike the balance between sort of these amazing commercial opportunities for me to design my own collections or my own shoes or my own, uh, interiors and home goods and you know creating imagery for the CFDA awards and collaborating with you know Kenzo and other fashion brands and music artists I am super inspired by the breadth of opportunity that I'm offered and the challenges that I'm able to tackle like whether I know what I'm doing or not it's like the work kind of speaks for itself afterwards but it all came from a very sort of innocent and I don't know like a almost just like a naive place.
Aerosyn-Lex MestrovicGUEST
Um, and so my identity is again, one that I can't even divorce from my own sense of self, where I think for others, their identity comes from, maybe they are, they can, they can portray something.
Aerosyn-Lex MestrovicGUEST
It could be like a lady Gaga who, whatever she is like, you know, it's a performance thing as much as it is an art thing.
Chloe MalleHOST
Choma, I'm so excited that you're here.
Chloe MalleHOST
And it was so fun that you came to the CVFF, CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund finalist dinner last night.
Chloe MalleHOST
Such a great crew.
Chloe MalleHOST
It was so nice to meet everyone.
Chloe MalleHOST
That's pretty sure.
Chloe MalleHOST
It was very efficiently run, I will say.
Chloe MalleHOST
Naomi and the CFDA really kept it going at a clip.
Chloe MalleHOST
It was really fun and interesting to be part of that.
Caroline GidiereHOST
It's really one.
Caroline GidiereHOST
It reminds me of the CFDA.
Caroline GidiereHOST
I mean, really what you're doing kind of single handedly in design.
Dara CaponigroGUEST
Yeah,
Patricia MaryNARRATOR
The head rolls after a PETA headlock.
Patricia MaryNARRATOR

Samuel HineGUEST
I was making a couple edits with Roxanne Baer.
Samuel HineGUEST
And I was in a suit because I'd come from a CFDA dinner, so I didn't have time to go home and change.
Samuel HineGUEST
And I was fucking dying.
Samuel HineGUEST
I mean, it was like 150 degrees.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
And also, fashionreverie.com editor-in-chief William Goetsch is here to give us a preview of New York Bridal Week Fall 2027.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
We start all of our episodes with fashion news, so all of our segments are based on the fashion news alert found on fashionreverie.com. And I will start us off with, uh, a new interim she- chief executive of the CFDA.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
So, [laughs] if you're on social media or in fashion business, uh, you must have heard about the debacle at the Cause Spring 2027 show, where Steven Kolb, who, uh, s- has since resigned from his position of CEO, uh, of the CFDA, um, he actually restrained PETA, uh, protesters at a show, uh, with his bare hands literally.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
[laughs] So that, that caused quite a sir- stir, uh, in the public eye.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
Uh, therefore, you know, he resigned, and currently Hildy Kuryk will serve as interim chief executive in Kolb's absence.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
So this is just a temporary position, uh, since the CFDA employed Karen Harvey Cos- Consulting Group, uh, to find the new CFDA, uh, CEO.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
Um, it, this search can take from three to six months, so we will see, um, who the actual next CFDA CEO will be.
Tijana IbrahimovicHOST
But in the meantime, Kuryk, who is the co-founder of Boutique Consulting, um, our team- Artemis Strategies agency, um, and has served as executive director of communications at Vogue and Teen Vogue, um, and has worked directly with Anna Wintour, will take his place.
Chioma NnadiHOST
He's so beloved.
Chioma NnadiHOST
He's also on the board of the CFDA.
Chloe MalleHOST
Yeah.
Chioma NnadiHOST
And we were judges together on the CVFF, and I always love seeing him, and there was such excitement for his new collection.
VJ FlorescaGUEST
... to start their own brand.
VJ FlorescaGUEST
But I think showing in New York Fashion Week, especially at the official calendar by the CFDA-
Ledy SimarmataHOST
Yep, yep
VJ FlorescaGUEST
... gives designers that credibility, and it gives designers that, um, validation that you are a certified American designer.
14 MINS LATER
Ledy SimarmataHOST
So how that story and that journey of persistence, working hard, never give up as a Filipino immigrant, a Southeast Asian immigrant in United States also influence your work, um, inspiring, um, the, the, the look of your, of your, of your collections, the culture's inspirations?
VJ FlorescaGUEST
Yes.
VJ FlorescaGUEST
So, um, when I had a meeting with CFDA, which is amazing.
Ledy SimarmataHOST
Mm-hmm.
