During New York Fashion Week everyone's favorite daily, The Daily, gets the best quotes and sound-bites from our favorites in the fashion industry. Today, we get tidbits on Friday the 13th, why chic matters, and who would be who for a day.
"I don't have superstitions, but I think they're a turn-on. I'm sure it's exciting to someone to be showing on Friday the 13th."
-- designer Zac Posen on any worries about today's date.
Â
Speaking of Friday the 13th, if a Freaky Friday type situation occurred, here's who a few notables would want to be for a day:
Â
Â
"Barack Obama! I'd play a mean game of basketball with the Secret Service."
Â
-- Tommy Hilfiger, Designer
Â
"Martha Stewart, because I always secretly wanted to be a chef, and she has the best recipes and tips. I'd love to spend a day rummaging through her kitchen cabinets."
Â
-- Jason Wu, Designer
Â
"I wouldn't mind being Marc Jacobs for a day -- the new body, the Italian boyfriends, the apartment in Paris, the one thousand assistants. It would be a great reminder why I'm busting my ass now."
Â
-- Michael Bastian, Designer
Â
Â
What's the industry doing to help chic go on?
Â
"I'm acting strategic. I'm going to Indochine but only ordering an appetizer, buying only one new tote bag at Fendi. We can't panic and give up chic!"
Â
-- Mickey Boardman, Fashion columnist
Â
"If we only believed what we saw on television and read in the newspapers, we'd be in trouble. The human eye for art can really open up a channel for beautiful change It doesn't mean that we have to be ignorant of reality; we just have to be pragmatic. People have lost confidence in the last year, and it's our duty to bring back a sense of joie de vivre."
Â
-- Sidney Toledano, CEO of Dior
Â
Â
And why must chic go on?
Â
"Because who wants to wear flip-flops and hoodie sweatshirts every day?"
Â
-- Christian Sirano, Designer
Â
"Because what else is there?"
Â
-- Joanna Coles, Editor in Chief of Marie Claire
Â
"Because the alternative is vulgarity."
Â
-- Brian Wolk, Designer
Â
-- SETH PLATTNER
