Kim
Peers, she of the school Of Hard Looks, Butch Chic, stoic beauty
personified , is on the brink of tears.
It's
the last Friday of NY Fashion Week, a dirty, gray day that frames
exhaustion perfectly.
Kim has one last show to go before taking an evening flight back
to Europe and here she is trapped in one of the most frighteningly
claustrophobic settings she had ever had to shoot in.
She
is in a East Village studio the size of most broom closets
and to complicate matters, every square inch of the walls are
covered with the kind of bric- a-bac and debris that spells
"Unhealthy Obssesion" . This is beyond pack rat. This is too much
and sure enough, the tears explode.
I feel terrible, as does the entire crew and I totally understand
her frustration. For more than 20 something fashion shows now,
all week long, Kim has been stripped, picked, prodded
and pushed out another long white runway that must begin to feel
like a long dark treadmill.
