Also here is Jacob Gallagher, who is one of our fashion reporters who goes to a lot of Fashion Week events.

Hello, Jacob.

Hi.

Okay, so I feel like I have to fess up straight away.

Maybe you already know this based on what I wear around the office.

But I don't feel like a particularly fashionable person.

I don't follow the world of fashion.

I don't think about it a ton.

Not because I don't think it's important, but because it seems kind of impenetrable to me.

It's a little like sports sometimes.

There's so many names to remember, so many designers.

I'm hoping that we can have a conversation that sort of unlocks that.

But...

I want to go way back first.

I want to ask each of you, when you think you first understood that fashion was not only important, but it's actually something that you wanted to spend your time thinking about?

What happened to your cousin's sweatshirt?

As we speak, New York Fashion Week has ended.

Stella, you are shortly going to head over to Paris Fashion Week.

Is that correct?

I am.
