How much does red carpet fashion reflect the reality of what’s really happening with the fashion consumer? Kate Young is able to answer that question better than most. Today, Young is primarily a celebrity stylist and brand consultant, but she spent years working in magazines—and is an enthusiastic consumer of fashion, herself. To close out my week-long sabbatical, I’m sharing our recent conversation on the state of the industry. (It was edited, condensed, all the normal stuff.) And thanks to Kate for helping me out this week.
