Suzy: “I got a bit worried that there weren’t going to be any clothes in it at all, but we finally got to them and it was worth the wait.”

Dan: “At the end, yes, the retrospective collections…”

Suzy: “I think its good, I think its strong and I like the idea of seeing what Proenza Schouler, or another designer does in a different medium from their usual creative medium. I think it’s terrific. As an editor, I feel I get a more rounded feel of what they are interested in, their involvement and where their creativity leads them. So I think it’s great.”

Dan: “Is that how you felt about the past magazines?”

Suzy: “Yes I mean I think some we know the visual, perhaps know them better, the designers better. I think with Proenza Schouler, they are not a mystery to me because I have seen all their shows, but I mean I didn’t know much about what they are interested in in the way of art, you know it ‘quilts in’ a lot of things. So I think it’s good!”
