On occasion, patience pays off. I waited a few minutes to exit The Salon after The Child Magazine show, which incidentally was the best show of Fashion Week.
As I shuffled my feet along with the rest of the cattle slowly exiting the show, I looked to my left and saw the aura that surrounds celebrities. A closer look revealed the celeb: Tim Gunn.
Here's my chance to wrap up Fashion Week with some fun.
"So, Mr. Gunn, what did you think of that show?" I asked.
"I loved it," he said. "That was the most fun I've had at a show all week. How about you?"
One could interpret that as Tim Gunn being polite and returning the friendly banter. Or, one could interpret that as Tim Gunn actively seeking my opinion on matters of fashion. I choose the latter.
"That was the perfect way to wrap up my Fashion Week," I said. "After that, I might even think about coming back for the spring."
"If I were those children, I wouldn't have the guts to do what they did," Gunn said.
"I know, right."
"Well, nice talking to you."
"You too, Mr. Gunn. Keep making it work."
