Food For Thought With Nicole Miller

Nicole Miller is getting down -- literally. She's kneeling on the ground, has pins in her mouth and is diligently tugging on the hem of a dress worn by one of her models. This hands-on approach is how she operates in the days before her show. How else does she prepare? I stopped by to find out less than 24 hours before her show debuted in the Tents at Fashion Week.

So it's the night before Fashion Week. What are you and your team doing?
Eating potato chips and sipping wine. We always order a case of each.

What!?
Yes! Last season it was Zaps. This season it's Tims. They have great flavors like habanero and jack cheese.

I was expecting you to say something else entirely.
Well, I also cooked every weekend for us. I made jambalaya, mousaka and penne lasagna.

Wow!
I know. But at the end of the day everyone gets tired and just wants to snack on something.
