Is New York Fashion Week Dead? Inside an Independent Brand with Joseph Altuzarra

from Let's Get Dressed

This week on Let’s Get Dressed, I’m sitting down with Joseph Altuzarra just days after his latest New York Fashion Week show. We talk about what 20 years in fashion really looks like when you’re running an independent brand, why people keep saying “NYFW is dead,” and what it actually costs to put on a show today.Joseph shares how he thinks about staying relevant without chasing hype, the reality of pay-to-play celebrity culture, and why he’s calling this his “year of yes.” We also get personal — from fame and comparison to what it feels like to be 42 and still building. Plus: Heated Rivalry, Wuthering Heights, whether fashion is psychic, and his best advice for anyone who wants to work in the industry.Follow Joseph on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/josephaltuzarra/Follow Altuzarra on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/altuzarra/Shop Altuzarra here https://altuzarra.comThanks to Banana Republic for my favorite pieces from the spring collection.
