to dream and to be inspired at that level. It's like fashion therapy. CK: I've never thought about it like that, the physical confines of our space. It's defiant in the way that we're all in this pressure cooker right now at home, so it's nice to have this explosive fashion moment. Who else are you loving right now? TM: Prada and Gucci are also really looking gorgeous. I'm obsessed with Hanifa, because I need to get that red, blue and gold top that Beyonce was wearing. at is my mission and goal. I'm on the waitlist for that. I'm a longtime fan of Proenza Schouler, and I loved their outerwear in this collection and that they styled it with those knee- high boots—which is such a good styling trick for lengthening and to make something look elevated. TM: ere are so many designers that are really offering something interesting for the fall. I'm not ready for fall yet, but I'm definitely taking into consideration what the brands are about—the efforts they're making in terms of social justice, the environment. ese things are so important now. Especially if you're investing in clothes for a season that you may not actually even wear outside. I'm not going to stop shopping, but I'm definitely more mindful of the purchases. is is a moment to truly invest in pieces that have a special meaning in your fashion universe. Are you going into the office, or smart-working? CK: I'm going in once a week right now because it's important to see what's there in the store. We're open for client appointments, but for the most part I'm working from home. TM: Right and, working from home, you're on your Zoom calls, so I feel like it's important to have pieces that are pretty. ings that lift your spirits—you need to get dressed up a little. CK: I agree. I think that was something I saw in the Resort collections. I help Linda [Fargo] put together the trend reports and look at the macro trends. e through line we saw were these bright, blocked colors being used together and we started referring to that as Happy Colors. A bright shoe will make you feel better than your Uggs. Even from brands you don't expect, like Bottega, you're seeing these jolts of color. It's optimistic. TM: Totally! I was so surprised at their store the other day. I was blown over by the color. CK: To get personal for a minute, if I'm going to invest my money in fashion, it should be with people who are dedicated to change in the industry. I want to support the designers who care about who shops from them and are interested in representing people who are otherwise not represented. I've slowed down my STYLE ADVICE TM: Never say never, and have fun with it. CK: Take risks. "Can I pull it off?" is my least favorite expression. Anyone can pull anything off, just try!
