[Melanie at Delicatessen, NYC]
CP: What do you do for a living?
Melanie: Fashionista for hire at Kate Spade.
Clubplanet: Where are you from?
Melanie: Greenwich, Connecticut.
CP: How does NYC style compare to Connecticut style?
Melanie: Greenwich looks like a Polo Ralph Lauren ad, while New York is less brand conscious and more artsy.
CP: Can you give us the rundown of what you’re wearing?
Melanie: Catherine Malandrino dress, vintage black patent belt, Dolce & Gabbana heels, Elsa Perreti earrings, David Yurman and JKL rings, Chanel cuff, and Chanel glasses.
CP: What do you think about the way women dress when they go out in NYC?
Melanie: It depends on where you are looking. More often than not, I’m disappointed with lack of originality. However, the shoes in this city are rather well done.
CP: What are you lusting after right now?
Melanie: Balenciaga fall ‘08 silver and black leather heels.
CP: What’s your favorite bar or restaurant? And where you think people dress particularly well?
Melanie: I favor the Bourgeois Pig, though it’s hard to say a favorite restaurant, but Le Bateau Ivre comes to mind. I think people dress particularly well in the West Village—minus the NYU influx.
CP: What NYC neighborhood do you most identify with fashion-wise?
Melanie: West meets East Village perhaps.
CP: Craziest thing you’ve ever seen at a club?
Melanie: Myself on a screen whilst dancing on a speaker—that’s a story for another interview!
