Fashion week is coming soon to its new local—Lincoln Center in just a couple weeks!

Former founder and lead orchestrator of Mercedes Benz New York Fashion Week, Fern Mallis told us she was sad to leave, but an opportunity to see new things…

“I’m sad about leaving Bryant Park. It’s home, it’s familiar, everybody knows what they are doing here and how it works. But you know its like everything else, it will be an opportunity to reinvent and discover a few new restaurants and sandwich shops. It’ll be fine but it’s sad after almost 18 years.”

Rox, was more than up to the challenge. Her album Memoirs (Rough Trade) shares some of the feisty, handclappy 1960s sound with Winehouse, but she forges her own style. $22.50 at Amazon.
