ANY FAVORITE SHOWS?

Loved speaking with Mara Hoffman and Marissa Webb, then seeing their clear aesthetic and beautiful visions come down the runway.

 

ANYTHING UNEXPECTED?

I got last minute tickets to Jeremy Scott and for me, it was a little anticlimactic.

 

HOW DO YOU STAY ENERGIZED?

I took caffeine breaks, and skipped on shows. I also did not do a lot of parties. people energize me – I took time to keep it real and chat with for example, the person I sat next to, or a blogger at an event or the hairdresser who braided my hair.

 

WHO WERE YOU REPORTING FOR?

I filed multimedia content for forbeslife – forbes.com/sites/koim
