Over the past couple of weeks, Cityfile correspondent Douglas Marshall has asked a few figures in fashion about their plans for the summer. What Chanel Iman, Fern Mallis, Thom Browne, Minnie Mortimer Gaghan, and Bonnie Morrison had to say below.
Chanel Iman
Model and co-host of MTV's House of Style
Q: What are you doing this summer, Chanel?
A: I'm still trying to decide what I want to do. I just had an amazing vacation in La Jolla, California and it was crazy. It was me and my best friend—I brought her along with me. We went paragliding in the sky and it was so much fun. So I want to do something crazy and wild. Like jump out of a plane or something.
Q: Are you an adrenaline junkie?
A: I guess you could say I'm an adventurist.
Fern Mallis
Senior vice president of IMG Fashion and judge of The Fashion Show on Bravo
Q: Do you have any exciting plans this summer? Fun travels, perhaps?
A: I'll be in LA to film the finale of The Fashion Show in July. It's happening at the same time that we're doing our Miami swim shows, so I'll probably have to miss that. But I'm happy to spend as much time in Southampton as I can during the summer.
Thom Brown
Designer
Q: What are your plans this summer?
A: It's a lot of travel for work, but I always mix the two. So I'll be in Italy for work, but I'll probably go to the coast while I'm there and then come back here. I'll be relaxing and getting ready for September.
Q: Do you ever go out East at all or are you a Hamptons-avoider?
A: Not an avoider, really. You know, I go occasionally, but it's not my normal thing. I do different things during the summer.
Minnie Mortimer Gaghan
Designer, socialite
Q: What are your summer plans?
A: I'm going to London for a little bit in July with my husband who is doing research. [Minnie's husband is Oscar-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan.] He's going to talk to old spies and some people for a movie he's working on, so I'm going to tag along. Then I'm going back to LA and I'm going to surf until I get to Southampton because the waves are big in LA/Malibu. I'm going to be in Southampton for August.
Bonnie Morrison
Fashion publicist, girl about town
Q: What are your summer plans?
A: I'm always really bad about summer plans because I'm not terribly organized, so I always get to summer and don't have anything organized. But I am going to Rome next week. I'm sort of tagging along with a friend who's going for work. We're going to explore. We're going to do the Eternal City, the Vatican, all that stuff. So it's going to be super hardcore sightseeing, the sort of thing you can't stand to do when you are with your parents. But now I'm older.
Q: That's fun! Anything else?
A: Other than that? I think I'm just going to sort of let it rip.
