This Is the Most Inspiring Thing You'll See at New York Fashion Week

PS: With all that history, was it hard to design her runway look?

CH: I designed a dress for her that's named after her: The Karen. It's red because she loves to wear red lipstick. It's a classic design, and she looks lovely. She's so excited.

PS: Tell us about the rest of the show.

CH: Karen, she's one of many incredible women who will be walking. We have CEOs, an Iraqi veteran, a race car driver, owners of multibillion-dollar companies. . . . My whole platform is that beauty is all equal. Everyone is equally beautiful, and we should highlight that and focus on our accomplishments. Our job as designers is to make women feel beautiful and have them achieve what they want to achieve.
