Survival National

Backstage at the very futuristic Costume National show, Ennio Capasa assembled a small army of supermodels like Natasha Poly and Toni Garrn but admitted that the planning and travel is not always easy. “This is a very intense schedule for us this week,” said the designer. “We prepare everything in Milan, then come to Paris and basically have a twenty-four hour no sleep schedule. We have some dance music in the background, but at this point it’s a fashion adrenaline that’s keeping us afloat.” Siri Tollerod agreed. “I love being at this show, but I can’t wait to see the finish line again and eventually sleep in my own bed,” dreamed the Oslo native. “I’m going to Norway. It doesn’t even matter that it’s cold there. I’ll survive 40 degrees.”
