#NYFW: 60 Seconds with Katie Gallagher

In addition to the designer inspiration sketches, this fashion week we are also asking designers about their design process, what gets them motivated and some other fun questions.  Here’s what designer Katie Gallagher had to say. 

The Fabulous Report: What are you eating to maintain your energy?
Katie Gallagher: I live on raw nuts! Especially raw cashews.

TFR: What has been the most challenging part so far?
Gallagher: This season is running really smoothly so far. The castings and fittings are when things get a bit stressful!

TFR: How do you stay motivated during crunch time?
Gallagher: Friends and company. The energy around everyone involved.

TFR: How do you relax before the show?
Gallagher: I don’t really relax ever! I do run and do pilates and try to maintain that even during Fashion Week.

TFR: What are you doing to prepare for the big day?
Gallagher: 15-16 models full of candycorn and other candies!

TFR: What are you going to do after the show is over?
Gallagher: I will nap, hopefully! I’m showing early this season, 11:30AM-12:30PM. Then I’ll get dinner and drinks with friends and then to my after party!

TFR: Vodka or champagne?
Gallagher: Both! Depends on the evening.

TFR: Miami or Hamptons?
Gallagher: I wouldn’t know!

TFR: Cake or Pie?
Gallagher: I don’t eat pastries…however, I’ve recently started making raw, flourless chocolate cakes…
