Her forum for the top in the fashion world in New York to gather together twice yearly has made many a career.
Galavante: What are your favorite things to do in New York?
Fern Mallis: My favorite things to do in New York – go to the theatre, go to a great restaurant, spend time quietly at home sometimes, which is a real treat for me in New York.
Galavante: Is that your ideal Saturday?
Fern Mallis: No, my ideal Saturday is actually in Southampton. I get away every weekend. So, I actually miss those weekend jaunts in the city, but having a house in the country takes priority. I like going to the museums: not as often as I think I do, but I live very close to Central Park and I don’t get into it as often as I’d like to. What else do I love doing in New York? You know, I’m a walker, I live in the Upper East Side and I just love walking around. There’s just a fabulous energy in New York. Oh, and I love shopping. How could I have forgotten shopping? It’s the best thing to do in New York.
Galavante: What trends are you most looking forward to?
Fern Mallis: I’m not sure what the trends are yet. I’m going to try and figure that out another day or two.
