Jonathan and Rachel interview fashion icon and former Executive Director of the CFDA, Fern Mallis.

We talk about her serendipitous start in fashion by way of the famous Mademoiselle Guest Editor Program, growing up in the garment district in a family of fashion business-owners, inspiring the next generation and paying it forward, what it was like to create New York Fashion Week (originally 7th on 6th) and the lessons learned through her interview series Fashion Icons at 92Y which is now a two volume set published by Rizzoli and sponsored by Nordstrom.
