Though Fern Mallis, senior vice president of IMG, is one of the most important figures in fashion (she is basically who we have to thank for that little thing called Fashion Week), many people don't actually know her know her.
So we thought we'd share this short, rare interview she did with Bravo in promotion for her role as a judge on Bravo's new Project Runway replacement called The Fashion Show, for which Isaac Mizrahi is also a judge, so everyone can get to know the lovely Fern a bit better.
Learn that she used to wear only American designers while director of the CFDA, that her style is "international," that Donna Karan sometimes "gets fats, gets skinny," and that Fern is much nicer than most people seem to think she is.
The show premiers May 7th - more info on Bravo's site.
