I've been in it for 18 years. It's like the Super Bowl for designers and models and everyone who is part of this industry."

"I love getting to see the crazy menagerie. It's one thing to go and look online at what the collections are after the fact, but to be able to sit in person and watch it walk in front of me and see how things move is pretty fascinating."

"I'm filled with anticipation for what the clothes are going to look like. There's a rush of anticipation for that moment, and then an exhale once the clothes come out and it settles in. It's crazy how much excitement is packed into such a small amount of time—blink and it’s over."

Corinne Bailey Rae

Camera Press / Retna Ltd.
"I really like being around people who know how to express themselves in the things that they wear. I think it's great to see designers and the way that they cultivate and reinvent themselves at the same time they're staying true to who they are. Music's the same way—you find who you are and then you're constantly renewing and evolving."

Angela Bassett

"Being an actress, I enjoy the theatricality of the moment. It's amazing the creativity that this one individual has and how they translate that into clothing—which we all as human beings must partake of and wear, otherwise we would be naked. It's nice to see what the designers have done in their solitary moment."
