No topic is off-limits to Fern Mallis, award-winning creator of Fashion Week in New York, when she hosts Fashion Icons with Fern Mallis at New York’s prestigious 92nd Street Y, a series of in-depth interviews with the fashion industry’s most talented, successful, and legendary personalities. Featuring nineteen inspiring interviews with American fashion luminaries, this engaging book introduces readers to the real artists behind these very public figures.
These no-holds-barred interviews, combined with never-before-seen personal photographs from interviewees from Tom Ford to Betsey Johnson, Polly Mellen to Bruce Weber, and more, bring a fascinating, compelling perspective to their work.
Profound, funny, and provocative, the discussions range from childhood inspirations to nitty-gritty industry details to advice on how to succeed in the
fashion business today. Mallis’s Q&A format combines the intimate approach of a tete-a-tete with the dynamics of a live audience, sparking candid and inspiring conversations. With Mallis, fashion luminaries drop their public personas and provide a window into the inner workings and culture of the fashion industry.
