Second City Style got to have a quick interview with Ms. Rivers about the upcoming collaboration.
Second City Style: How did you get partnered with HauteLook? What made you think that this was a good fit?
Melissa Rivers: Shoparatti has been doing business with HauteLook since Day 1 and from the get go we knew our users loved shopping at HauteLook. We all put our heads together to figure out something special for those particular shoppers.
SCS: What is your criteria for selecting items for your curated sale?
MR: I wanted to feature items that were versatile, on trend and at a fantastic price point.
SCS: What kind of products and designers can we expect from this sale?
MR: Jewelry, handbags and outfits to take you from day to night.
SCS: Is there one look in particular you find yourself drawn towards? Can we expect this look or elements of this look in other hand-picked pieces?
MR: Absolutely, the shoes and accessories are amazing and will always be classics. I love the white jeans with zipper detail that you will find in the sale event. That is what started the outfit for me.
SCS: What do you think will be the biggest trends is for the upcoming Fall/Winter 2011 season?
MR: We are still seeing a lot of bold colors and gold is coming back big time for fall.
SCS: If there is one item that you think no one should go without and be able to splurge on, what is it?
