I have to get the breakdown of everything you're wearing.
All right. My coat is curly lamb, Adrienne Landau. I've gotten so many compliments on it today. Joseph Abboud silk sweater. Oh, a Luca Luca sweater.
So you're warm.
Oh, I am warm! I cannot take the cold. Frigidity I cannot suffer. I plan my wardrobe around warmth first. Martin Margiela pants. Nordstrom private label shoes. Tights are Wolford. My bag is Ebay. A Courrèges bag.
What are you looking forward to at Luca Luca?

The unabashed sexiness. In the past couple of seasons, he's experimented. Last season it was more ladylike, and before that it was very hard. But this season I have a feeling of sexy, but covered-up sexy. At Tracy Reese, that was very sexy, but covered up.
What are the pros and cons of covered up but sexy?
I can't think of any cons. I think it's a win-win for women. Because who doesn't want to look sexy? You can look sexy if you are a reserved dresser, or shy, or maybe it's just more appropriate for certain occasions. Also, there's an age issue. It can cut across all age groups. People like models and Kate Moss—model, ex-model; I don't know what her story is! People like that wear stuff and look great in it. But a 50-year-old woman, she can wear these things and look sexy, too.
The older you get the more that occurs to you—oh, do I look silly or not?
Silly or sexy, that is the question!
