The Future of Fashion

Fashion heavyweights like Ashley Olsen, Isaac Mizrahi and fashion critic Robin Givhan gathered at the 92nd Street Y last night to discuss fashion in this time of economic peril and where it's heading next. The Cut did a great little round-up of the event, but here are some highlights:

Mizrahi: "I think that to be stylish you have to connect to something and love it."

Givhan: "I think [Michelle Obama] is a perfect example to them that you can incorporate fashion into your lives..."

Olsen: "For me, when I look at it as a celebrity brand, it's almost silly to me, because I'm not coming from a celebrity standpoint."
