This week on Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack is joined by fashion writer Cathy Horyn. 

Cathy Horyn is one of the few great fashion writers who really know their history and still dare to speak their mind. Described as the most feared and fearsome critic in fashion, she’s also one of the most respected by designers and readers alike. 

The conversation covers Cathy’s incredible career and controversies from her time as Chief Fashion Critic at the New York Times to her role now as fashion critic at large at New York Magazine’s The Cut.  

Cathy also talks about the less well known other part of her life as a farmer. She single handedly runs a 100 acre flower farm in Madison County, Virginia relishing the contrasting realities of bush-hogging in Virginia with sitting in the front row or the Paris collections.

This week on Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack is joined by Raul Lopez, founder and creative director of LUAR - the hottest label on the New York Fashion calendar.

Raul Lopez has always had an outsized influence on fashion being at the epicentre of the New York underground club and fashion scenes for the last two decades. He shares his story with Jefferson, growing up as a queer Latin boy in Williamsburg in the 90s, his wild ride from humble and hard won beginnings to the importance of community and fandom from Beyoncé, Solange and Madonna - a fashion fairytale worthy of its own TV series.

Launching season 2 of Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack is joined by Mark Ronson to discuss his new memoir, Night People. Ronson tracks the characters and legends of the evolution of 90s New York club and Hip Hop culture that made the city hum. He brings us right into the mood and atmosphere of the nights he spent cutting his teeth as a fledgling DJ along with anecdotes about influential figures like Biggie Smalls, Prince, Lady Gaga and Amy Winehouse and candidly traces the highs and lows of this hedonistic time that built the foundation of the artist and super producer he is today.

Jefferson Hack is joined by two-time Olivier Award-winning stage designer and artist Es Devlin in a free-ranging and awe-inspiring exchange. Devlin’s collaborators have ranged from U2, Adele and Beyoncé to Sam Mendes and Nicolas Ghesquière, and her sets take on an equally epic scale, with floating platforms, jumbo screens, vast bridges and a giant ring of fire in the Agafay desert in Morocco to name a mere few. Her work is incredibly powerful, imbued with a wonder for nature, humanity and technology and, in her hypnotic voice, her words here are too.

This week on Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack talks to Marina Abramović, one of the greatest artists living today, as she prepares for her upcoming autumn show Balkan Erotic Epic at Manchester’s Aviva Studios. In a deeply moving and candid conversation, the pair discuss divine energy, the artist’s decades-long obsession with pleasure and pain and her “door of secrets” which, once accessed, means she can transcend any discomfort during her boundary-pushing, long durational performances.

This week on Where It’s At, Jefferson Hack talks to three-star Michelin chef Daniel Humm, zig-zagging from his start in competitive cycling (having left home at 14) to his first star and the mushroom trip that inspired his pivot to plant-based cooking at his award-winning restaurant, Eleven Madison Park. Humm’s relentless innovation propels this conversation, touching on what inspired him to found the extraordinary non-profit educational organisation Rethink Food and his experience of synesthesia, which allows him to ‘taste’ dishes simply by painting them.

In a sprawling, dreamlike conversation, Jefferson Hack talks to the Indian-American author, guru and one of the most profound thinkers of our time, Deepak Chopra. Touching on evolutionary consciousness, collective dreaming and quantum biology, part one of this epic discussion offers an immersion into the many maps of Chopra’s revolutionary mind. He emphasises the importance of meditation and self-inquiry in accessing the “core consciousness”, as well as the need for creativity and shared vision to address global challenges: his is a peaceful, just, and sustainable world.

In part two of the conversation, the pair expand on the topics that have guided Chopra’s life’s work – this time through the lens of his own personal experience. From his addictive personality as a young doctor to the life-changing moment he met the Maharishi Yogi, who inspired him to study consciousness and write his first book – the first of 90 – Chopra reveals his coping strategies, and much more.
