In her final column, Amelia Brown '12 lets us in on the elusive behind-the-scenes process of the Cornell Fashion Collective show. And no, it's not like Project Runway.
Under her pseudonym “Gabby Wild,” vet school student Gabby Wagner ’11 combines animal activism with fashion to help save threatened animals as a part of her “12 in 12 for 12” campaign. “Its called ‘12 in 12 for 12’ because I’m wearing twelve outfits in twelve months for twelve threatened animals,” she said. The twelve originally designed outfits are inspired by different endangered animals from all around the world.
We sat outside CTB, incognito, each wrapped in blankets and R’s face masked by her fedora —
R: It’s a “lady hat!”
— sipping our espressos, discussing the upcoming election, Proust, the human condition and Project Runway. R and R’s political discussions never seem to result in much r-and-r, and this instance was no different.
R: You don’t have to hold me down and spray Fantastik in my mouth every time.
