THE GOTHAMIST INTERVIEW: JAN. DAY 2 – RACHELLE SOCOL

2005_01_rachellesocol_bigSo at this point you may be asking, “Hey Aaron. How do you and Lily get so many fascinating people to do interviews with you? And you must know a little bit about everything because the people you talk to are so diverse.” Well, here’s a little secret … it’s all true. Lily and I are thoroughly brilliant, but in fact we each have our own areas of expertise where one crafts more questions than the other.

Today’s Gothamist Interview would be one where Lily certainly took the lead. While I am the ultimate male fashion expert (not!) and an expert on labels and trends (yeah, right!), and I have a deep and abiding love for accessories (accesowhat?), I decided that Lily would probably be a little more equipped than I to compose the majority of this interview. I must admit, I’m quite jealous of Rachelle Socol, who gets to travel to England, France and Italy several times a year for free. Oh sure, she’s “working” the whole time, visiting leather suppliers and such, but “working” in any of those places (especially Italy) means, at least in part, long, luxurious dinner meetings involving some of the greatest food around. But I digress.

Rachelle is the Director of Accessories for Theory, and while Lily was saying how she loves most of their line, I was asking, “Theory of what?” But see, that’s why these interviews are educational. Now, I can recite the entire Theory line while giving spot-on visual descriptions. Or something like that.
