Waleed Khairzada
Waleed Khairzada just might be the most laid back designer at Fashion Week.
The man behind Cynthia Steffe's feminine tailored suits and flirty dresses was serene as can be backstage less than an hour before his show kicked off. And several of his models hadn't even arrived yet.
"We're sharing five girls with Rodarte," he said, seemingly unfazed. "They'll get here with Rodarte hair ... and makeup." Keep in mind, Rodarte wrapped just 20 minutes before the Steffe show was scheduled to begin. Uh, wow.
According to Khairzada, there's really no reason to sweat the small stuff: "I think when you get to this point, it's important to stay focused and calm. That way, you can stay more focused on the collection."
The man is a walking ad for yoga.
