Designer Must-Have: “I have a few must-have tools close by to negate any unexpected emergencies and trust me a live show is like live TV and if something can happen it will so the rule is BE PREPARED. Some handy tools are: a birthday candle for a stubborn zipper, baby powder for when a swollen foot gets caught in a tight shoe, static guard for voluminous fabric- backstage really is electric in more ways than one, I also try to motivate the models and give them the encouragement they need to make their turn on the runway great. I have done my job and now it up to them. A hug or a smile goes a long way.” ––Lubov Azria
