House of Harlan PR Office: Tuesday, September 6, 2011
The internet is still salivating over my last post. Every few days, someone new finds it and flames up the replies. Ellen’s comment that she’d threaten to riot in the Condé cafeteria? Hilarious, given that all of us at La Mode would have killed to have eaten in that cafeteria back in the day. Yeah, we weren’t that cool. Jenny’s tweet? Not wrong. Especially about the “babe” part.
But back in real life, I’m not in the Condé cafeteria or the supply closet. I’m at House of Harlan, and it’s the Tuesday after Labor Day, the calm before the fashion week storm.
