Planes, Trains, and Armani Gowns: Brad talks about his fab time at Fashion Week, his meet with Mr. Armani, and Team Zoe's gown crisis!

1 of 2 pages

After the debacle that was the Golden Globes, we had the to contend with the Oscars We were all excited to see the couture collections at the end of January. We hoped that there would be some great gowns, and there were quite a few, but not as many as we were expecting. The gold paillette Armani prive gown was one of the first gowns that came to the studio and when we saw it we knew that it was special. But we needed so many more gowns, and we thought we were going to find them while at New York Fashion Week.

I love New York Fashion Week for many reasons, but mostly because we get to see new clothes. Fashion Week is like Christmas. Working for months and months with the same samples becomes boring, so when the new collections are shown, everything feels new again. We get excited about who is going to wear what. This year New York Fashion Week was scheduled extremely close to the Oscars, so we had to miss the last few days in order to come back to LA to prep the clients that were attending. On top of that, we had a cover shoot with Jen Garner. The plan was that Taylor would take care of the shoot and I would hunt for Oscar dresses with Rachel. Even though it appears that I was merely visiting designer showrooms, I was also pulling looks for the Jen Garner shoot directly from the designers and looking for party dresses to be sent back to LA. Always working!

There is some time for play though. So many of my close friends live in New York, so when I am there I always try to see them. Since Taylor was working so hard, I thought it would be fun if I organized a night out. Lorenzo, Maggie, Danielle, Annebet, and Stephanie are all really good friends of mine and I don't know what I would do without them (Annebet was featured last season as well). My friend was throwing an anniversary party for NEXT Models at Marquee and he was nice enough to ask me and my friends to stop by. We had the best night dancing and having fun. We ended up going all over the city, dancing the night away. Sooo good! It was exactly what Taylor and I needed.

: 09/12/2009 - 5:02pm; Carrie; Brad, You are the best part of the show. You keep doing what you are doing. Taylor needs to go or get an attitude adjustment she is bringing everyone down. Including the viewers. Hopefully she will be fired on the final show - haha I would watch that! ;)

: 09/12/2009 - 4:38pm; Viewer; Brad I love you.
I feel so bad that you have to put up with Taylor's attitude.
Too bad, I won't be able to watch the show anymore. I just can't stomach Taylor's attitude anymore. Good Bye, but I love you and Rachel. You guys rock.

: 09/11/2009 - 12:39am; Rc; Brad you should be proud of yourself, you did a great job with Anne Hathaway. You need to tell Taylor to get of your back, you need to develop a little bit of a backbone with her, her attitude irritates me.

: 09/10/2009 - 12:06pm; Viewer; Brad, I have to know....where do you buy your glasses? (brand) I've been wanting to buy new glasses for some time now and when I saw them on you for the first time I thought to myself I have to get me a pair.

: 09/09/2009 - 12:25am; Viewer; Brad i think you have done a fabulous job this season. And i was a fan of yours from day one. I think you and Rachel work really well with each other and she needs you. Keep up the good work.

: 09/01/2009 - 10:31am; Carlos; poor Brad i feel for you, i know it annoyed Taylor that she was off doing grunt work while you were at the shows, but i felt bad for you too because you didn't really have much control over where Rachel wanted you. But anyways is Lorenzo, Marc Jacobs "kept man" ????

: 09/01/2009 - 9:39am; Stephanie; Brad, I love your style but you are too sensitive (unless it is for TV). Do what do you best and work your style and knowledge ...you will be fine. All the best to you!
