FERN MALLIS #INHEROWNWORDS @ STORY

Rachel Shechtman and Fern Mallis #INHEROWNWORDS at STORY

"Be Nice," is the rule of thumb Fern Mallis imparts on a sizable audience at STORY Wednesday evening. On the heels of launching her new publication, Fashion Lives, Mallis steps off a plane from India and sits down with STORY founder Rachel Shechtman to share her experiences and achievements in fashion. From cold calls soliciting funds for her first NY Fashion Week to running her own PR company to being fired for the first time (during the holidays!), Fern Mallis gets personal.

SHARING STORIES @ STORY

Norma Kamali at STORY

Against the backdrop of jersey essentials from her versatile KamaliKulture collection, Norma Kamali joined STORY's Rachel Shechtman in conversation Tuesday evening on topics of creative pursuits, olive oil and female objectification. Known for being the creator of stylish swimwear, high-heeled sneakers and multifunctional jersey pieces, Kamali spoke of life influences and outcomes... and how working in the airline industry after college reinvigorated her interest in fashion. Sporting a jean jacket and skinny pants (both black), it's difficult to imagine that the designer is 67!   

-WEDNESDAY WINDOWS-

Bergdorf Goodman, 57th St. Windows

Spring has sprung and summer is soon to follow. Vibrant colors and beautiful weather lure previously-apartment-bound adventurers outside to indulge in the cryptic curiousity of what could be. Satiate your inner expressionist--indulge in art or make some! Break out the canvases, dust off the cameras and venture into the great outdoors to seize endless possibilities of creative ecstasy. Infinite opportunities abound. 

MINKNOFF + MAB + Making Things @ STORY

Rebecca Minkoff and a STORY employee prepping a grey MAB for laser printing

Rebecca Minkoff is taller than I imagined… Or maybe it was just the sky high snakeskin cage heels she paired with black skinny jeans and a soft white blazer at STORY in Chelsea this evening. Out to support GE Garages’ Making Things, Minkoff and fashion-minded spectators watch as a laser printing machine etches a grey MAB. A lucky onlooker gets to keep the MAB with a newly imprinted cheetah print.
