00:09Hi, I'm Connie from Refinery29 and this is Fash Cab. We're here today with Karen Walker and we're going to
00:15be asking her some questions.
00:16What's your favourite thing about coming to New York City for your show?
00:20You know, my favourite thing is just being in the city. I think it's the best city in the world.
00:24I absolutely love it.
00:24Any particular places that you always hit up?
00:28Freeman's is probably one of my favourites and Raoul's. I'm going to dinner at Raoul's later in the week.
00:32Do you have any secret, in quotation, collaborations you'd be able to share with us?
00:37At the moment, working on a new homeware line, which will be in the market in about 18 months, I
00:44think.
00:44So instead of a Karen Walker wardrobe, you'll have a Karen Walker home.
00:47And a bed and a table.
00:49A table?
00:50Fantastic.
00:51That's amazing.
00:53So that's been a lot of fun over the last couple of months, starting to work on that.
00:56I'm so excited.
00:57Me too.
00:58We heard you were cleansing pre-fashion week.
01:01Oh god, what have you been talking to?
01:02I did a three and a half week cleanse and it actually felt fantastic.
01:06So it was a good thing to do pre-fashion week, just have a little bit of intense training.
01:10Do you have a post-fashion week retox?
01:13Yeah.
01:15What is your fashion week bedtime?
01:18It all depends what's going on.
01:19Tonight I am determined to be in bed by 9pm.
01:22But last night it was...
01:23That's ambitious!
01:24Yeah, it's very ambitious.
01:25Last night it was 1am, so if I can just get somewhere in the middle.
01:28So what is your super secret hidden skill?
01:31Oh, I'm a very good baker.
01:33Yeah?
01:33What are your favorite things to make?
01:34I've just mastered the cheese souffle.
01:39No.
01:39Which is quite tricky.
01:40I thought this year I'm going to master it.
01:42That's the Holy Grail of all cooking things.
01:43Oh, that's the Holy Grail?
01:44Only took me two goes.
01:45Is there anyone you get fangirlish over?
01:48I actually was invited to have dinner with Cat Power a few years ago and I got a little
01:52bit sort of like, oh my god.
01:54So that's it for the questions and now we move on to the flash round.
01:57You ready?
01:59Anna or Grace?
02:00Grace.
02:01Paris and New York?
02:03New York.
02:04Blondes or Redheads?
02:05Redheads.
02:06Morning coffee or pre-dinner martini?
02:09Martini.
02:09Bill Cunningham or Scott Schumann?
02:11Schumann.
02:12iPad or Pad Thai?
02:16iPad.
02:18Kate or Pippa?
02:19Kate.
02:20Beyonce or Jay-Z?
02:22Jay-Z.
02:23Fashion's Night Out or Halloween?
02:25Halloween.
02:25Tiny Dinner or Massive Rager?
02:27Tiny Dinner.
02:28What is your favourite fashion website?
02:31Refinery29.
02:33So Karen, I have to ask you, what is your fash cab confession?
02:37Like something people don't really know about me.
02:39Yes.
02:40I'm an excellent Scrabble player.
02:43How excellent?
02:45Like 500 points excellent.
02:47Do you remember any specific win or reward?
02:51I think my best word ever was something like dribbles.
03:01It was like 180 points.
03:04During fashion week, what is in your bag?
03:05Your bag is very small.
03:07Yeah, that was a challenge going from a big bag to a small bag.
03:09But you actually realize there's a lot of stuff you can move without.
03:12Like receipts.
03:13Oh yeah.
03:13Tons and tons of receipts.
03:14That you'll never ever do anything with anyway.
03:16You can get away with wallet, phone and lip gloss.
03:19Is that all that's in there?
03:21Yeah, pretty much.
03:22So thank you so much for talking with me and fash cab.
03:25Thank you so much for having me.
03:26And good luck.
03:27Thank you so much.
